Many couples are “eager to try” after childbirth, which is completely understandable. However, postpartum sexual intercourse also has a lot of worries, and the most worrying is in the post-natal recovery period “unwanted pregnancy”. Pregnancy at this time has great effects on the recovery of the female body and the nursing of the baby.
Many people do not know that 21 days after delivery, some mothers are likely to resume ovulation, not that until menstruation is restored before the possibility of pregnancy. So this is why many unexpected pregnancies occur in the first few months after delivery. Say this, is to tell your new parents, postpartum sexual contraception must do enough, and to choose suitable methods of postpartum contraception.
1. Condoms: postpartum as a result of the mother’s genital injury has not fully recovered, in order to prevent mother’s puerperal infection, the best tool for contraception, that is, male and female condoms. Condom use is the first choice in postpartum sexual life, but long-term use can also aggravate the inflammation of the mother’s vagina.
2. IUD: For mothers who have just given birth, the uterus is in the recovery stage, the uterus is larger, the uterine cavity is deeper, placement of IUD is very easy to fall off, and easy to cause infection, leaving sequelae. Generally, the time of natural delivery is 3 months after delivery, and after cesarean section 6 months after delivery.
3, oral contraceptives: postpartum mothers who do not breast feed, can be oral contraceptives. But mothers who are lactating mothers should not take them. This is because oral contraceptives contain hormones that can inhibit ovarian ovulation and increase the viscosity of cervical secretions, thereby playing a contraceptive role. For mothers who breast-feed their babies, the hormones contained in the drugs enter the baby’s body through the milk, so they are not suitable for use. Usually, doctors will recommend that after the end of lactation, the menstrual return to normal can be used.
However, it should be noted that emergency contraceptives can only be used for emergency, can only be taken once a month, can not be repeatedly used, and can not be used as a regular contraceptive at any time, otherwise can cause premature ovarian failure, premature menopause and other problems.
4, contraceptive injection needle: usually this is a long-term contraceptive method, the advantage is easy to use. But also in the form of hormones to achieve contraceptive effect, so the doctor will also recommend that after the end of breast-feeding menstruation to return to normal use, and before use must be checked by the doctor.
5. Contraceptive vaginal ring: Contraceptive vaginal ring is a soft and transparent ring with an external diameter of 5.4 mm, placed once a month, women can easily put it into the vagina, then do not need to use other contraceptive measures, is a hormone contraceptive method, the success rate is 92%. Take it out in 3 weeks and put a new one in a week.
Again, warm reminder, even if you are still breast-feeding, and there is no menstruation, but also to take reliable contraceptive measures, it is best to start contraception after the first sexual life. In addition, cesarean section of new mothers should pay more attention to contraception. Because cesarean section will leave scars, the muscles around the scar are thin and lack of contractility. If contraception is not done well after cesarean section, resulting in a second pregnancy, if the embryo sac in the scar implantation is very dangerous. In addition, because of cesarean section mother’s uterus incision, artificial abortion will be a certain degree of difficulty, do not do well may cause uterine perforation and other adverse consequences. Therefore, cesarean section mothers should pay more attention to postpartum contraception.
