The best time to have sex after cesarean section

Caesarean section can cause serious damage to the body of pregnant women, so for many women who have undergone caesarean section, in order to resume their sex life as soon as possible, many women want to fully understand the best time to have sex after caesarean section. In order for you to have a comprehensive understanding, the following content provides a detailed introduction so that you can have a comprehensive understanding.

It is best to have sex three months after a caesarean section. Young mothers born in the 1980s are usually only children. Many of them are afraid of pain and will give birth by caesarean section. However, the pain caused by the surgical incision after caesarean section far exceeds the pain caused by the contraction of the uterus during natural delivery. The time required for the incision to repair is also longer than that of natural delivery. Therefore, it is more important to be careful about having sex after childbirth. Generally, sex can be resumed after 42 days after a natural delivery, but it takes a longer time for mothers who have undergone caesarean section.

The recovery time of cesarean section is longer than that of natural birth, because the abdominal incision needs to be repaired for a period of time before it can be completely healed, which takes about 3 months. You also need to go to the hospital to check the degree of wound healing before you can determine whether you can have sex. Let's understand why it takes three months to have sex?

The reason is that the wound will be completely healed after three months, and the safety factor will be greatly increased when having sex again. There is no need to worry about the incision splitting, etc. In addition, the husband must take contraceptive measures during sex, and condoms are the best contraceptive method. If you don't use contraception and get pregnant again in a short period of time, it will be impossible to give birth to the child, because it takes three to five years to have a second child by caesarean section. If you get pregnant at this time, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the mother. The harm caused by artificial abortion is very serious because the uterus is still in the recovery period, so you must pay attention. At the same time, having sex too early may also cause the mother to be infected with various gynecological diseases.

Women who have undergone a caesarean section for less than 2 months generally have low sexual desire or no interest in sex at all. After 2 months, the hormone levels in the body slowly rise and the desire for sex becomes stronger and stronger. During this period, as a husband, you should pay attention to protecting your wife's physical and mental health, understand your wife, exercise self-restraint, and not be swayed by momentary pleasure. Help your wife get through this period together and wait until your wife is physically and mentally prepared before having sex. Then your sex life will become more harmonious.

For mothers who need to breastfeed after childbirth, their sex hormone levels will be lower than usual, vaginal secretions will decrease, and the vagina will become inelastic and dry. It is normal for a woman to feel slight pain or lack of lubrication during intercourse. At this time, the vaginal wall lacks lubrication and has poor elasticity, making the vagina extremely susceptible to damage. During intercourse, you must be gentle and the frequency of sexual intercourse should be appropriate.

The above content provides a detailed introduction to the best time for having sex after a caesarean section. I believe that many women, through the comprehensive understanding above, have learned the best time for having sex. Therefore, after fully understanding it, in order to protect their own health, they must choose the best time for having sex according to the above introduction, so as not to cause harm to their bodies.
