We know that moderate sex life can not only relieve stress in life, but also contribute to physical health. However, sexual intercourse is prohibited during the wife's pregnancy. After finally getting through the pregnancy, many couples can't wait to have sex. So, how long after giving birth can you have sex? Let’s take a comprehensive look below. How long you can have sex after giving birth is determined by the way the mother delivers (natural birth or caesarean section), her postpartum recovery, etc. The appropriate time for having sex is 2 months after a natural birth and 3 months after a caesarean section. It also varies depending on each person's specific physical recovery. For normal delivery, the general confinement period, that is, the postpartum period, is 42 days. This period is the repair period of the endometrium. After the postpartum period, if there is no abnormality in the mother's body, theoretically, she can have sex. The mother should go to the hospital for a check-up 42 days after delivery and follow the doctor's guidance based on her own physical recovery. Having sex too early can cause great harm to the mother's body. Generally speaking, the appropriate time for women who give birth naturally is 2 months after delivery. The reason for waiting for such a long time is that it takes about 8 weeks for the female reproductive organs to return to normal. The vaginal mucosa that is stretched during childbirth becomes very thin and easily damaged, and it takes some time to recover. As for how long you can wait after a caesarean section before having sex, medical research suggests that it is best to wait three months after a caesarean section, because a caesarean section requires a surgical incision, and having sex must wait until the caesarean section wound heals. The above is an introduction to how long you can have sex after giving birth. I hope it will be helpful for couples to understand. Childbirth causes great harm to the female body. It is best not to rush into sexual intercourse right after giving birth. It is better to wait for two months of body recovery before having sexual intercourse. For the health of expectant mothers, you must adhere to the principle and never have sexual intercourse too early. |
