A. What to pay attention to in the same room after childbirth cesarean section
After caesarean section should be based on the patient’s body, most doctors will recommend that caesarean section within two months do not have intercourse. It is best to wait for the sixth week after the cesarean section, the mother and child should do a more comprehensive examination. If the woman’s body is normal, she can have intercourse, but be careful to be gentle, if too vigorous can easily lead to affect the uterus, and in serious cases can cause some gynecological inflammation. It should be noted that after caesarean section must be careful to avoid contact with cold water, do not eat cold things, so as not to leave sequelae.
Second, the best time to have intercourse after normal birth
For normal points of maternity, generally need a month of recuperation time, that is, the puerperium period of 42 days, this period of obstruction is the endometrial repair period. After the puerperium period, if the woman’s body does not have any abnormalities, theoretically you can have intercourse, however, before having intercourse, you can go to the hospital first to check, according to their own body recovery situation.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you are getting into. Under normal circumstances, the appropriate time to have intercourse is 2 months after delivery, after this period of time, the maternal reproductive organs are about to return to normal, and the vaginal mucosa, which was enlarged during childbirth, becomes thicker and less susceptible to damage.
The time to have intercourse after caesarean section
It takes a longer time to get rid of the malignant dew in a cesarean section compared to a normal birth, because the mother not only has a knife in the stomach, but also the uterus has been shaved open, which is very damaging to the vitality, and a poor recovery of the uterus may endanger the life of the mother. Even if the postpartum recovery is good, it takes more than 60 days to have intercourse with a woman who had a cesarean section.
But it is recommended that the maternal cesarean section 3 months after the same room, because within 2 months after childbirth, women generally have a low libido performance, when the same room not only failed to achieve a harmonious sex life, but also cause maternal sexual frigidity, affecting the future life of the couple.
Fourth, the first time after childbirth what need to pay attention to intercourse
1, pay attention to contraception
For most women, menstruation has not returned in time, but there is still the risk of ovulation, so if the couple has sex must use effective contraceptive measures to avoid pregnancy again. Since menstruation has not fully resumed at this time, it is not reliable to use a safe period to prevent pregnancy. And if the unplanned conception, the new mother will be very painful, and most likely to affect the breastfeeding, so the first intercourse for contraception is very necessary.
2, before and after sex to pay special attention to health issues
Before sexual intercourse, both men and women must carefully clean the genital organs and vulva, especially the wife should rinse the lower body immediately after sex to prevent bacterial infection.
3, 6 weeks after childbirth perineal wounds will slowly heal
In the sixth week or so after the birth of the mother, perineal wounds will slowly heal, but the new tissue is still very tender, so when having sex, the husband should pay attention to be more patient, gentle movements, avoid roughness.
4, the first time sex may be vaginal dryness
The level of sex hormones in breastfeeding women is extremely low and their libido is poor, which makes vaginal secretions less, dry and not slippery. At the same time, it takes some time to restore the secretion function of vulva glands. Therefore, when having sex for the first time, the new mother may feel that the vagina is very dry and painful. If this happens, the couple can use some safe lubricants to improve their sex life.
5, once there is discomfort need to immediately stop
If the husband has been very careful during intercourse and there has been long foreplay, but the new mother still keeps feeling pain, then it is best to consult a doctor. Some symptoms, such as tearing wounds or the way the stitches of the lateral episiotomy are closed, can cause discomfort, which requires further surgery to correct. Also, if you notice an odor in the vaginal discharge, then it may be an infection and should be treated in the hospital as well.
