The birth of a child is one of the most important events in the life of any woman. But after giving birth, many are worried about the question: after what time can you have sex with a man again?
After returning home from the maternity hospital, postpartum depression is very common in women. According to statistics, it is observed in every sixth young mother. This leads to a reluctance to have sex with your husband.
As for the male half, the opposite is true. A long absence of sexual activity causes various disorders of the nervous system. In the family, mutual understanding very often disappears, scandals begin. Such a relationship can harm not only adults, but also a small child, especially when breastfeeding. Therefore, at this time, a man and a woman should treat each other with understanding and respect, and try to improve their sex life again.
How long does it take to resume having sex after normal childbirth?
If childbirth took place naturally, then you can start having sex already 2 - 2, 5 months after childbirth. At the same time, the woman should have no health problems, in particular, there should be no bleeding from the vagina. This can lead to infectious diseases. During such sex, it is imperative to use contraceptives. Because already 2 months after giving birth, the woman again has the ability to conceive a child. And the break between them must be at least three years. It is during this time that the woman's body has time to fully recover and make up for the lack of vitamins and minerals. Otherwise, early re-pregnancy can cause some complications.
How long does it take to resume having sex after a cesarean section?
If the birth took place with the help of a cesarean section, then in this case the onset of sexual life will have to be postponed indefinitely. A woman should completely get rid of pain and health problems. She should completely heal the stitches on the uterus, and stop bleeding. Sometimes this period of time can reach 10 - 12 months. In this case, a man is obliged to treat the health of a woman with understanding and not to make scandals.
During the first sex after childbirth, you should not experiment with positions, but rather be content with the usual missionary position, when the woman is lying on her back and the man is on top. At the same time, a woman's vagina can be quite dry. Then it is better to use various special lubricants that can be purchased at any pharmacy.
The onset of sexual activity after childbirth is primarily of concern to men. And in order to speed up this process, representatives of the stronger sex should help take care of a small child and take on their shoulders part of taking care of him. Then the woman will be able to recover much faster and will thank you for your understanding and help.
