Patient's question:
My wife is pregnant, and it hasn't been long since she got pregnant. Older people say it's best not to have sex during pregnancy, but some say it's okay. However, no matter how long it takes, for a man, that's still a long time, and there might be times when he can't help but want to. What if they do have sex? It's impossible to keep me from it forever.What kind of help do I need: How long after pregnancy can one have sex?
Doctor's answer:
To ensure the health of the fetus, sexual intercourse should be avoided during the first three months of pregnancy. This is because after pregnancy, a woman's endocrine function changes, leading to a decrease in the desire for sexual activity. Additionally, there are psychological factors, such as the fear that sexual activity may affect the normal development and safety of the fetus. There are also physical factors, such as increased weight, reduced flexibility, slow movement, and inconvenience.
