What does it feel like to have sex after a normal delivery?

I believe that many women have episiotomy wounds during childbirth. Episiotomy during normal delivery will not only cause great harm to women's bodies, but also prohibit them from having sex too early, otherwise the wound may rupture, causing great pain to women. So, what does it feel like to have sex during a normal delivery with an episiotomy? Will it hurt the first time you have sex with an episiotomy wound? Let’s take a look at the detailed introduction below.

What does it feel like to have sex after a natural birth with an episiotomy? Does the episiotomy wound hurt the first time you have sex?

The first time you have sex after giving birth may be a little painful, because the vagina is where the baby is located during childbirth, which is very exciting and painful. Obviously, this is not an experience you will soon forget. Therefore, pregnant women will feel uncomfortable in the first 6 weeks after giving birth, especially when the genitals are pressed against the uterus which has not yet fully recovered during sexual intercourse.

How long does it take to have sex after an episiotomy wound?

You can resume sexual intercourse three months after the episiotomy wound has healed depending on how your body has recovered. In-depth analysis:

1. After a normal delivery and episiotomy, the pregnant woman's body suffers great damage, so it is not suitable to have sex too early. Doctors recommend that you consider having sex after three months depending on the body's recovery. Avoid having sex too early to avoid affecting the body's recovery.

2. Generally speaking, the wound needs to be sutured after episiotomy during normal delivery. In most cases, the stitches can be removed surgically one week later. However, removing the stitches does not mean that the body has recovered. If the wound is not cared for after the stitches are removed, the wound is prone to rupture.

3. Even if the mother's wound heals quickly, it still takes two weeks, so it is not suitable to have sex too early after a normal delivery and episiotomy.

Warm reminder: The results of medical clinical research on the timing of sexual intercourse after episiotomy during normal delivery are also mainly determined by the mother's physical condition in real life. If the body is weak or the postpartum recovery is not good, the time of sexual intercourse should be delayed. If the postpartum recovery is good and the physical condition permits, the time of sexual intercourse after normal delivery can be relatively early, but not earlier than 8 weeks after giving birth.
