How long it takes to have sex after delivery is determined by the way the mother gave birth (natural delivery or caesarean section), postpartum recovery, etc. The appropriate time for sex after delivery is 2 Months, cesarean section is 3 months after delivery, and depends on each person's specific physical recovery.

For normal delivery, the general confinement period, that is, the puerperal period is 42 days. This period is the repair period of the endometrium. After During the puerperium, if there are no abnormalities in the mother's body, she can theoretically have sex. The mother should go to the hospital for a check-up 42 days after delivery and receive guidance from a doctor, depending on her physical recovery. Premature intercourse will cause great harm to the mother's body. Under normal circumstances, the appropriate intercourse time for women who have given birth naturally is after 2 months postpartum. The reason for waiting for such a period of time is that it takes about 8 weeks for the female reproductive organs to return to normal. The vaginal mucosa that is expanded during childbirth becomes very thin and easily damaged, and it takes some time to recover.

Specifically, how long after a cesarean section can you have sex? Medical research suggests that it is best to wait 3 months after a cesarean section before having sex, because there are surgical incisions in a cesarean section. You must wait until the caesarean section wound has healed before proceeding.
