Patient's question:
My wife is now about 5 and a half months pregnant, and we haven't had sex for nearly 4 months. It's really hard to hold back, so I want to have sex tonight. My wife is worried that using condoms will interfere with the baby's growth and development. I want to ask if it's okay to use condoms during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Pregnant women belong to a special group, and during pregnancy, it is necessary to prevent overexertion and intense exercise to avoid many activities that can cause uterine contractions. Sexual activity is physically demanding and can also lead to uterine contractions, so it needs to be restrained during pregnancy. Especially in the early and late stages of pregnancy, sexual activity may lead to miscarriage or premature birth. In the second trimester, although the fetal condition is relatively stable, it still needs to be restrained.
