A member asked:

I give birth 8 weeks ago and suffered a 4 tear, i need to try having sex before my check up, i know it's going to hurt but can i prevent it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sex Postpartum: I would advise that you not have sex until your post partum exam. A health professional can examine the area, make sure you are healed and counsel you about contraception.
