What is the cause of bleeding during intercourse after giving birth?

Women need a period of recovery after giving birth. Especially during this period, women's bodies are often weak, so it is very important to take care of the body after giving birth, and many things need to be paid attention to. Some people also have sex after giving birth, and if they have sex again even after a full month after giving birth, there is still a possibility of bleeding, which is also very harmful to the body. In addition to this, what else could cause bleeding during sexual intercourse one month after giving birth?

1. It is related to the time to resume sexual intercourse: the wound of the perineal incision usually takes 7 days to heal and the sutures to be removed. At this point, the surface tissue of the perineum has healed, but the deep muscle layer and fascia will take 6-8 weeks to repair. If you start having sex too early, it may cause the wound to split and bleed. 2. Related to the general condition of the mother: When the mother suffers from anemia, malnutrition or inflammation of the vagina and perineum, the healing of the perineal wound may be delayed.

3. Related to the wound suture: except for the epidermis of the perineum which is sutured with silk thread, the inner muscle and subcutaneous fat layer are sutured with catgut. Since there are obvious individual differences in the absorption of catgut by human tissue, the quality of the catgut and whether the perineum is strictly disinfected will also affect the absorption of human tissue.

4. Related to the husband: Since the man abstains from sex for a long time when his wife is in the late pregnancy and postpartum period, once they resume their sexual life, the movements are often intense, which can easily cause perineal tissue damage, bleeding, and rupture. 5. Other postpartum periods are within 42 days after birth. During this period, the endometrium gradually repairs and bleeding gradually stops. If you find any abnormalities, go to a specialist hospital for treatment in time. After a cesarean section, just like a natural birth, you should resume sexual life three months after delivery, preferably after you have your period. If the mother is breastfeeding, the uterus is involutionally good, if there is no more vaginal bleeding, and the doctor checks that the wound is healing well, she can resume sexual life. However, strict contraceptive measures must be taken to avoid pregnancy. You can use condoms or postpartum IUD to avoid pregnancy. Generally speaking, a better contraceptive method is male condoms.
