How long after the confinement period can I have sex?

Women need to stay in confinement after giving birth, which usually lasts for one month. During this month, it is very important for women's body to recover. They need to pay attention to rest and adjust their diet after giving birth. Sexual life is not allowed during the confinement period, and they should be careful not to have sex too early. It is best to have sex three months after giving birth. Having sex too early will cause uterine contraction and make it difficult to discharge blood stasis.

How long after a caesarean section can I have sex?

How soon can I have sex after a caesarean section? Medical research suggests that it is best to wait three months after a caesarean section before having sexual intercourse, because caesarean section leaves a surgical wound, and the wound naturally takes more time to recover. Sexual intercourse must be carried out after the caesarean section wound has healed. In the 6th week after caesarean section, women need to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive maternal and child physical examination (postpartum examination). At this time, if the doctor thinks that the mother's uterus has recovered well and there is no other discomfort, she can gradually resume sexual intercourse two months after delivery. The reason why you cannot resume sexual intercourse immediately after the doctor's examination is that it takes about 8-9 weeks for a woman's reproductive organs to gradually recover, and the wound takes even longer to recover. Therefore, you cannot resume sexual intercourse immediately. 》Postpartum precautions: These actions after cesarean section are very dangerous

How long after giving birth can you have sex?

Abstinence is practiced during pregnancy, but many new parents cannot help themselves after liberation. Many people believe that as long as the lochia is clean after delivery, the couple can have sex. In fact, this view is wrong, especially in the delivery room for normal delivery. During childbirth, the vagina expands, especially in the delivery room where an episiotomy is performed. If sexual intercourse is performed too early after childbirth, it is easy to get infected and suffer from various gynecological diseases.

So how long after a normal birth can you have sex? Medical research shows that for women who give birth naturally, it takes about six weeks for the uterus to return to its normal size after delivery. The uterus of a pregnant woman gradually expands and grows as the fetus in her abdomen continues to grow and develop. By the time of delivery, the uterus of a pregnant woman is several times larger than before pregnancy. Therefore, the recovery process is also relatively long, taking about 42 days. The endometrium of a postpartum woman takes a longer time to recover, roughly eight weeks. It can only fully recover after the ovarian function has basically recovered, that is, after the menstruation comes.

Therefore, based on the above analysis, new mothers who give birth naturally are generally not allowed to have sexual intercourse within 8 weeks after delivery.

Of course, these are the results of medical research. In real life, how long it takes for women to have sexual intercourse after a normal birth depends mainly on their own physical condition. If a new mother is in weak health or has not recovered well after childbirth, she should delay having sex. For the health of the mother, the husband should be patient for a while. For those who have recovered well from childbirth and have good physical fitness, they can have sexual intercourse relatively earlier after a normal delivery, but not earlier than 6 weeks after childbirth.
