Does cesarean section affect sexual life?

Patient's question:

I carefully checked and found that I was pregnant, then I prepared to have a cesarean section. Does a cesarean section affect sexual life?

Doctor's answer:

Cesarean section has no impact on sexual life. Generally, the uterus returns to normal levels almost completely within 42 days postpartum. The vagina itself does not undergo sufficient expansion due to a cesarean section, so it will never lead to the relaxation of pelvic floor muscle function, affecting sexual life. However, since pregnancy has occurred, it is still important to pay attention to pelvic floor muscle exercises postpartum to prevent pelvic organ prolapse. Cesarean section is a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment. It is hoped that patients can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, dietary issues should be taken into consideration, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to alleviate the condition. The above answer is hoped to help you. Thank you.
