Many couples believe that after postpartum lochia, it means that the woman's body returns to normal conditions, and living as a couple at this time will not have any impact. In fact, postpartum lochia usually lasts for more than ten days, and the uterus cannot be repaired during these ten days.
If couples live in a state where the uterus has not recovered, it is not only very easy to cause gynecological inflammation, but also has certain damage to the uterus. Therefore, dear mothers who have given birth must pay attention to how long they can have intercourse after giving birth, in order to prevent any impact on their own human body.
1、 How long can I have intercourse after natural childbirth
Some people believe that after three months, if a woman has a baby and the postpartum lochia is clean, couples can have sex. In fact, such views are incorrect. The duration of postpartum lochia is generally 2 weeks to 4 weeks in the county. After that, although postpartum lochia is clean, the wounds in the uterus have not fully healed, and the energy consumption of pregnant women during childbirth has not been reduced, resulting in poor disease resistance. If you have sex too early, it is very easy to cause infections, such as vaginitis, endometritis, salpingitis, or menstrual irregularities.
2、 How long does it take to have intercourse after a cesarean section
Under normal circumstances, it takes 4-6 weeks to completely clean up. From the 42nd day after giving birth to a child, it is the postpartum period, also known as the menstrual cycle. During this period, it is important to be careful not to touch cold water and take care of your body. After 42 days, if there are no leaks, you can have sex. Abdominal section can be moderately retracted, and the doctor suggests March, but in fact, February is not a big problem. It takes 6-8 weeks for the uterus to recover.
In addition, if the cervical opening is not completely closed, the bacteria will invade the uterus according to the cervical opening, and then invade the pregnant mother through the unrepaired embryo adhesion surface, which is very easy to cause reproductive system inflammation, such as endometritis, uterine fibroids, subacute pelvic connective tissue inflammation, subacute salpingitis, and sepsis.
Pregnant women can determine whether they have a cesarean section or a natural delivery, and according to their own conditions, they can have sex. It is normal for women to have weak bodies and not be able to have sex after giving birth. Therefore, we hope that all fathers can understand our precious mother and not cause any problems.
