Can I have sex after a full month of caesarean section?

After a woman gives birth, it will take a period of time for the body to gradually recover. Considering the woman's health after giving birth, it is not appropriate to have sex too early. Choosing the right time for sex can be beneficial to the body recovery of pregnant women. So, is it possible to have sex after a woman has given birth to a baby who is one month old? 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.

How long does it actually take to have sex after a cesarean section? Medical clinical research suggests that it is best to have sex three months after the cesarean section. Because cesarean section causes surgical incisions, it takes a lot of time for the wound to heal. Sexual intercourse must be done only after the cesarean section incision has healed (medical care methods for pain caused by cesarean section wounds).

Some people think that once a woman's lochia is clean after giving birth, the couple can have sex. In fact, this view is incorrect. Postpartum lochia generally lasts for 2 to 4 weeks. After that, although the lochia has cleared, the wounds in the uterus have not been completely healed, the energy consumed during childbirth has not been restored, and the disease resistance is poor. If you have sex too early, it is easy to cause infection, resulting in vaginitis, endometritis, salpingitis or irregular menstruation.

In fact, within two months after giving birth, women generally have symptoms of decreased sexual desire, which is normal. If you have sex, it is usually not harmonious, and it may also cause female sexual frigidity, affecting the relationship between husband and wife in the future. Generally speaking, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for the reproductive organs and their systems to recover after giving birth, and a woman's interest in sexual intercourse after giving birth will not continue to increase until the third month. Therefore, even if a woman who has undergone caesarean section has fully recovered after giving birth, it is best to wait three months before having sex.

All normal steps for sexual life after cesarean section

1. Routine physical examination after childbirth

In theory, pregnant women need to go to the hospital for a routine physical examination in the sixth week after giving birth. If the doctor indicates that the pregnant woman's body has recovered well and there are no other problems, she can slowly start to resume sexual intercourse two months after giving birth.

2. Gentle touch

Because the secretions of women's cervix and vulva are relatively small, the husband should accommodate his wife when resuming sexual life for the first time after giving birth, have more gentle and romantic foreplay, and be gentle during intercourse without being too aggressive. Because the husband has been affected by abstinence for a long time, he may have violent postures, which may cause damage to the perineum tissue or bleeding.

3. Use good contraceptive methods

Don't get pregnant again for the sake of temporary happiness, because the woman's uterus has not yet recovered after giving birth, and getting pregnant again will cause very serious damage to the uterus.
