Patient's question:
How long after a cesarean section can you have sex?Doctor's answer:
1. During postpartum sexual activity, the movements must be gentle and moderate. Avoid vigorous thrusting, as excessive frequency or intensity can lead to vaginal tearing. It is also necessary to change and design some positions to prevent pressure on the wound area, which may cause pain. The husband should also understand: if you feel any discomfort at any time, he should stop immediately.2. Your wound and the surrounding area may remain numb for several months or even a year after childbirth. This is because the nerves and tissues were stretched or damaged during the incision process. If the numb area is touched, it may cause discomfort, so you should inform your partner to reduce contact with that spot. However, the sensation in this area will gradually return over time.
