After giving birth, women enter the postpartum period, which is a critical period for their physical recovery. Women need to seize this time to recover their bodies. During the postpartum period, it is not advisable for women to have sexual intercourse. So, how long does it take for two women to have sexual intercourse during the postpartum period?
It takes 42 days after confinement for two women to have sex, because during confinement, there will be lochia discharged from the female body. Early intercourse can easily lead to genital infections, affecting the healing of the endometrium and prolonging the time for lochia to be discharged. In addition, women's perineum may have varying degrees of laceration during childbirth, which can cause pain or worsen the degree of laceration during sexual intercourse. Therefore, women should not have sex too early.
After 42 days of postpartum confinement, women's lochia is basically cleared. If there are no abnormal symptoms in the body, they can proceed with sexual intercourse. However, women also need to consider their personal physical condition. If the woman's body does not recover well, the time for sexual intercourse should be postponed. At the same time, women can also go to the hospital for a physical examination to clarify the recovery of the uterus, so that they can proceed with sexual intercourse with peace of mind.
When having sexual intercourse, both men and women need to pay attention to cleaning their genitals and taking good personal hygiene care to avoid health hazards. The movements during sexual intercourse should be gentle and not too rough, and the frequency of sexual intercourse should not be too high to avoid vaginal damage.
