Many people question how long it takes for couples to have sex after a cesarean section or natural delivery. In fact, after a cesarean section, like a natural delivery, it is best to choose to have sex after three months. For women, it is better to have their first sexual intercourse after a period of vacation.
During this period, if the uterus recovers well, it is not a problem for couples to have sex, but it is also important to take contraceptive measures such as condoms. Generally, a better contraceptive method can be male condoms. Some postpartum women may experience mild aloofness, so it is necessary to seek targeted treatment from a doctor. Why is sexual activity generally prohibited within three months after childbirth? Experts say that after 42 days postpartum, you should go to the hospital for a follow-up examination in a timely manner. After the examination is normal, you can have a room together.
After childbirth, women gradually return to their normal state of other organs in their body, except for the breasts. This period, known as the postpartum period, is approximately two months long. During this period, the changes in the reproductive system were most significant, especially in the uterus, which gradually reduced from the huge volume that can accommodate full-term fetuses, placentas, and amniotic fluid to the pear shaped shape in non pregnancy. The main changes were the contraction of myocytes and muscle fibers in the uterus, as well as the necrosis and shedding of the wound surface at the placental attachment, the discharge of lochia, the regeneration of the endometrium, the closure and recovery of the cervical orifice, the gradual recovery of the vaginal wall and pelvic floor muscle tension, and the gradual healing of the wound.
A survey has shown that within eight weeks after giving birth, postpartum women may experience mild apathy. Generally, it is not until the third month that sexual interest increases, so from a sexual psychological perspective, it is also appropriate to have sex after 2 months postpartum.
Women's physiological environment undergoes significant changes after childbirth, and the trauma to their reproductive organs during the production process has not yet fully recovered. It will take some time to return to normal. Only after the mother fully recovers can couples cohabit. Otherwise, it will cause diseases such as vaginitis, cervicitis, and endometritis.
Normally, the recovery of the uterus is achieved 42 days after childbirth. The vaginal mucosa can only be repaired after the ovaries return to normal, which means that after the first postpartum period, it indicates that the vaginal mucosa has been almost repaired.
