Patient's question:
Last month I just gave birth to a child, but my husband really couldn't resist the urge to have sex with me because we haven't had sex for a long time. So the two of us had sex last night when the baby was asleep. But I'm very worried about the potential harm it might cause.What kind of help do I need: How to deal with my husband's urge during postpartum?
Doctor's answer:
After childbirth, when a woman's various organs and tissues have not yet fully recovered, sexual intercourse is strictly prohibited. It is only permissible after it has returned to normal. The physiological changes in a woman's body after childbirth are significant, especially in the reproductive organs, which undergo changes and trauma during pregnancy and delivery. These organs must undergo a period of time to recover fully. Only after the woman has completely recovered can the couple engage in sexual intercourse. Otherwise, it may lead to diseases such as vaginitis, cervicitis, endometritis, and others.
