From pregnancy to childbirth, women's internal organs undergo great changes. Especially during the delivery process, pregnant women also bear great risks and may face unexpected situations during delivery, especially the urinary system of pregnant women will suffer more or less damage during delivery. So, can you have sex two months after delivery?

Can I have sex two months after giving birth?

It takes a while for pregnant women to recover after giving birth, and the urinary system often suffers minor or serious damage during the delivery process, so it takes a longer time to recover. So, can you have sex two months after giving birth?

How long you can wait after giving birth is determined by the method of delivery (natural birth or cesarean section), postpartum recovery status, etc. The best time to have sex is 2 months after giving birth for a natural birth and 3 months after giving birth for a cesarean section, and it varies according to each person's actual physical recovery status.

For normal delivery, the general confinement period, that is, the confinement period is 42 days. This period is the repair period of the uterine wall. After the confinement period, if there is nothing abnormal in the pregnant woman's body, theoretically, she can have sex. Pregnant women should go to the hospital for a physical examination 42 days after giving birth and receive specific guidance from a doctor, depending on their physical recovery. Having sex too early can cause great harm to the body of pregnant women. Generally speaking, the suitable time for pregnant women who choose natural childbirth is two months after giving birth. The reason for waiting for such a period of time is that it takes about 8 weeks for a woman's reproductive organs to recover. The vaginal mucosa that is stretched during childbirth becomes too thin and easily damaged, and it takes some time to recover.

How long after a cesarean section can you have sex? Medical clinical research suggests that it is best to have sex three months after the cesarean section. Because cesarean section has surgical forceps, sex must not be performed until the cesarean section incision has healed.

What should you pay attention to during sex after childbirth?

1. Pay attention to hygiene

Because the disease resistance of new mothers after giving birth is weaker, the wounds of the reproductive system still exist and have not been completely healed. Therefore, when having sex at this time, you must pay attention to maintaining hygiene, especially the male reproductive organs must be kept clean. Before having sex, wash them with warm water. Women should pay attention to cleaning the genitals after sexual intercourse to prevent infection.

2. Pay attention to gentle posture

Because the new mother has just given birth to a baby, the body has not recovered yet, especially the reproductive organs are injured, the vagina is relatively dry, and the vaginal mucosa is also very sensitive. This requires the husband to pay attention to being more caring to his wife. During sex, the posture should be gentle, give the wife more care, and try to remove the wife's psychological barriers. Otherwise, if the posture is too intense, it may cause the wife's vagina to lacerate and cause bleeding.

3. Pay attention to contraceptive measures after giving birth

Many new fathers and mothers do not have their menstrual period after the birth of their newborns. They think it is not easy to get pregnant, so they have sex without restraint and do not need to worry about contraception. In fact, many new mothers get pregnant without taking any contraceptive measures when having sex after giving birth, which is very harmful to the body of women. Therefore, when having sex after giving birth, contraceptive measures must be considered.
