Women who have had a normal delivery can try to resume sexual life 68 weeks after delivery, while women who have had a cesarean section should wait at least 3 months before having sexual life.
1. Women who have had a normal delivery: 68 weeks after delivery is a more appropriate time, because the wound has healed during this period, and the deep muscle layer and fascia also need 68 weeks to repair. If you resume sexual life too early, it may cause wound rupture, bleeding or infection.
2. Women who have had a cesarean section: It may take longer to resume sexual life. It is usually recommended to wait at least 3 months before having sexual life after the doctor confirms that the wound has healed well and the uterus has recovered well. This is because after a cesarean section, in addition to the wound on the abdomen, there are also wounds on the uterus that need to heal, so the recovery time is longer. It is best to have sexual life after a menstrual period.
