Sexual Activity after Childbirth
Sexual Activity after Childbirth


more about Sexual Activity after Childbirth


Description

  • Sexual activity (coitus) may resume when bleeding has subsided.
  • Bleeding and infection are remote 14-21 days after childbirth.
  • Usually libido is decreased significantly in the postpartum period.
  • Early resumption of intercourse may be unpleasant because of incomplete healing of the episiotomy and laceration, and incomplete uterine involution.
  • The best rule to follow is common sense: Six weeks (same as postpartum work disability time) may be the best time for abstinence.
  • Because breast-feeding suppresses the production of estrogen, vaginal atrophy and dryness might occur.
  • Breast-feeding women might need vaginal lubrication with lubricant.
