Is it ok to have sexual intercourse after a csection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If you are in "the mood for sex", if your abdominal incision has been healing nicely or is healed and you postpartum lochia is is minimal or gone...you may safely " have sexual intercourse" whenever you and your partner want.. Remember to protect yourself against pregnancy and STI's by using an effective contraceptive like an IUD, Nexplanon or DepoProvera + condoms.
