Patient's question:
A pregnant woman experienced four or five light touches to the clitoris, followed by the sensation of leg spasms as if being shocked, but only a slight abdominal pain that didn't last long, and there was no bleeding. Now the baby hasn't preterm labor. Does this mean that as long as she doesn't engage in such sexual activity in the future, it can guarantee that the baby won't preterm labor? I also want to change, but it seems I really enjoy that electric-like sensation. This noon, I touched it twice again. So far, there's only a slight abdominal pain, but no discomfort or bleeding. Can the baby avoid preterm labor? Doctor, do you have any methods to suppress yourself from having sex? This is very dangerous.Doctor's answer:
In the late stages of pregnancy, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited on principle to avoid uterine contractions and premature labor. The same applies to sexual intercourse. It is important to pay attention that after 34 weeks, the baby's lungs mature, but the survival rate is relatively higher after 37 weeks. The risk of illness in premature infants is very high. For the baby's health, it is acceptable to make changes. Currently, there is no abdominal pain or bleeding, so it should be fine.
