First time having sex after childbirth, it hurts to urinate

In the last few months of pregnancy, because the woman's belly has become very big, and out of concern that the sex life between husband and wife will have a negative impact on the development of the baby, the couple's sexual life will be stopped. After giving birth, the couple's sexual life will slowly recover. However, some women experience painful urination after having sex for the first time after giving birth, and they are very worried about this. Let’s take a look at it together below.

It is normal to have painful urination after the first sexual intercourse after giving birth. Now, due to the change of female hormones in the body after giving birth, vaginal dryness will occur, which is a very normal phenomenon. Doctors generally recommend waiting until 42 days (6 weeks) after giving birth, and after the body system has been checked, before resuming sexual life.

However, some people suggest that you can try to resume your sexual life before the 42-day test, so that if you encounter any problems, you can consult a doctor in time during the test. Therefore, some couples resumed their sexual life within one month after giving birth, but a large number of couples resumed their sexual life between one to three months after giving birth. However, there are also a very small number of couples who did not resume their sexual life until six months or even one year after giving birth. Therefore, there is no specific time standard for how long you should wait after giving birth before resuming your sexual life. You can decide based on your own specific situation.

For various reasons, new mothers after giving birth may feel mediocre or even somewhat uninterested in sexual life. The most immediate cause is the pain caused by the episiotomy and stitches. Even if the new mother has not had an episiotomy and has no tears, the perineum may feel abraded and sensitive for a period of time. Therefore, it is recommended that the wound should be healed and the sutures absorbed before resuming sexual life.

A happy and harmonious couple life is an important way to maintain couple emotions, but after giving birth, a woman's body needs a certain amount of time to recover and recuperate, and sexual life should not be carried out too quickly. At this moment, men need to accommodate women and give them more attention and love. I hope that everyone can have a more definite understanding and grasp of this situation through the above content.
