Can I have sex two months after a caesarean section?

The normal pregnancy period takes about 10 months. The ten-month pregnancy is not only a test for mothers, but also a test for pregnant fathers. In particular, pregnant fathers cannot have sex with pregnant mothers since the mother becomes pregnant, and it lasts for more than ten months. So, is it possible to have sex two months after a caesarean section?

1. Generally, pregnant women can have sex 6-8 weeks after the lochia has cleared and the doctor has checked that the urinary system has recovered. Generally speaking, you can consider having sex 2 months after a cesarean section.

2. If there is no other discomfort in the body and no abnormal bleeding or discharge in the vagina 2 months after the cesarean section, you can have sex.

3. For pregnant women who give birth normally, it takes about 42 days for the uterus to return to its normal size after giving birth. The uterine wall will take about 56 days to completely heal. The vaginal mucosa can only fully recover after the ovaries recover, that is, after the menarche. Therefore, sexual intercourse between couples must be prohibited within 56 days after giving birth. If you can have sex after your period is restored, it is the most civilized and rational behavior. For caesarean section, it is best to have sexual intercourse after 3 months.

Common problems with postpartum sex

1. The couple's sexual life should be moderate: When resuming the couple's sexual life after childbirth, it should not be too much, and the posture should be gentle. The ovaries of women who breastfeed after childbirth are suppressed, and the eggs in the uterus and ovaries are dormant. These dormant, non-developing eggs are not capable of producing estrogen. The vaginal mucosa lacking the effect of estrogen is not only thinner, but also more sensitive and lacks elasticity.

2. Prevent vaginal laceration: The specific manifestation of vaginal laceration caused by postpartum sexual intercourse is active bleeding in the vagina after sexual intercourse. The blood is bright red and some women may experience pain. Once active bleeding occurs after intercourse, you should seek medical attention immediately to prevent excessive bleeding.

3. Pay attention to contraceptive measures: Contraceptive methods are essential. Studies have shown that women who do not breastfeed can resume ovulation about 40-50 days after giving birth, and those who do not fully breastfeed can resume ovulation about 3-8 months after giving birth. Even new mothers who fully breastfeed have a pregnancy rate of more than 2%.

In addition, you must be cautious when resuming sexual life. Although the reproductive organs of new mothers have recovered, their endocrine system may not have recovered to the state before pregnancy. The vaginal tissue is fragile and weak, which can easily lead to lacerations and even internal bleeding. Therefore, contraceptive measures must be taken, as pregnancy is possible even if you breastfeed after childbirth and do not have your period.

Pregnant mothers must take care of their health after cesarean section and recuperate for a period of time before having sex. Fathers during this period should remember not to be anxious and must take good care of the mother's body. At the same time, if they have sex, remember not to have it too much, understand related problems in advance, and pay attention to the special conditions of the mother's body after giving birth.
