Many young couples can’t wait to start a married life after experiencing a long period of abstinence. But how soon can mothers who have had a caesarean section live a married life after giving birth? Based on the experience of many gynecologists and a large number of mothers who had caesarean sections, the editor below will tell you how long it will take to live a life after caesarean section and what to pay attention to when living as a couple.

How soon can I have sex after a caesarean section

1. Sexual intercourse should be late rather than early after caesarean section

How long after a caesarean section can I have sex? For normal delivery, the general confinement period, that is, the puerperium period is 42 days. This period is the repair period of the endometrium. After the puerperium period, if there are no abnormalities in the mother's body, she can theoretically have sex. Specifically, when it comes to how long after a caesarean section can you have sex, medical research suggests that it is best to have sex after 3 months after a caesarean section, because there are surgical wounds in caesarean section, and the wound recovery naturally takes more time. Sexual intercourse must be done after the caesarean section wound has healed. .

Some people believe that as long as the lochia is cleared after a woman gives birth, the couple can have sex. In fact, this view is wrong. Lochia usually lasts from 2 to 4 weeks. After that, although the lochia has cleared, the wounds in the uterus have not completely healed, the physical exertion during childbirth has not recovered, and the disease resistance is poor. If you have sex too early, it can easily lead to infection, vaginitis, endometritis, salpingitis or irregular menstruation.

A large number of facts have proved that within two months after giving birth, women generally have low sexual desire, which is normal. If they have sex, the harmony in the same room is often not achieved, and it may also cause women to become sexually frigid and affect the relationship between husband and wife in the future. Generally speaking, it takes 6 to 8 weeks for the reproductive organs and other systems to recover after childbirth, and a woman's interest in sexual intercourse will not increase significantly until the third month after delivery. Therefore, even if the body of a woman who had a caesarean section recovers smoothly after delivery, it is best to have sex after three months.

2. The normal process of intercourse after caesarean section

In the 6th week after caesarean section, women need to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive maternal and infant physical examination. At this time, if the doctor thinks that the mother's postpartum uterus has recovered well and there is no other discomfort, then it can be After two months postpartum, sexual intercourse gradually resumed. The reason why sexual intercourse cannot be resumed immediately after the doctor's examination is because it takes about 8-9 weeks for female reproductive organs to gradually recover, and wounds take longer to recover. Therefore, sexual intercourse cannot be resumed immediately.
