Question 1

am i fertile after emergency c-section delivery ?

Accepted Answer

Probably: It is unusual for c-sections, emergency or otherwise to cause infertility. On occasion, they can cause scar tissue that results in infertility.

Question 2

how soon after a csection can you have anal sex?

Accepted Answer

Potentially: The anus is an exit not an entrance, and so i discourage my patients from partaking. Besides the risk of infection including std's, you risk damage to the sphincter mechanism that can not be repaired, leaving you with variable incontinence. Not worth the risk! if you insist on having anal sex, i would discuss with your OB gyn doctor before attempting.

Question 3

how many  csections can you have?

Accepted Answer

Risks : There is not a specific number for allowable c sections. The risk increases with each surgery.

Question 4

when having a csection why must you always have one?

Accepted Answer

No: It was an old dogma but its not true any longer.

Question 5

i had a csection lang july, is it ok for me to have a massage now?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Unless there is a specific reason not to get a massage, it should be fine for you to get one. Enjoy!

Question 6

what side effects does c section bring?

Accepted Answer

C-Section: Cesarean sections have usually non-eventful recoveries.  Other than a sore abdomen, where the incision is made, and some restrictions as to activities for about 4-6 weeks, the recovery from a "C-section" is often less painful than a difficult delivery.  Having a C-section does not necessarily commit you to another with your next pregnancy.

Question 7

post delivery c-section can i eat corn?

Accepted Answer

No problem: You can eat a normal diet after recovery from c-section including corn.

Question 8

planned c-section vs. vbac, which to do?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on a number of factors which mode of delivery to choose after a previous c/section. First and foremost, the reason for the first c/section needs to be taken into account. Next, is the hospital equipped to allow for a safe VBAC. This is a question that needs to be discussed with your obstetrician. If you have your prenatal care in a "staff clinic", ask to talk to the attending physician.

Question 9

how long would one bleed after c section?

Accepted Answer

Please ask your OB: Your OB knows u and how the surgery went and should have already told you that before you went home form the hospital, usually u can have the post partum lochia for 3-5 weeks but it should get less and lighter as time goes on and should be done by the 6 weeks post partum exam, if the bleeding is not getting less or if it is increasing please call your OB as u will need to be checked.

Question 10

how soon after a c-section is oral sex ok?

Accepted Answer

It's up to you: Female to male, any time.  Male to female, depends mainly on how the female feels.  Nothing from a c-section that would preclude oral sex.
