What is the recommended waiting time before resuming an active sexual life after a vaginal delivery?

Hello,

There is no clear recommendation on this subject. Depending on the degree of the tear at delivery, it is important to let the wound heal well before having sexual relations with penetration. Breastfeeding and hormonal changes caused by childbirth can also influence sexual desire and vaginal lubrication. It is therefore important to go at your own pace and to use a water-based lubricant as needed.

I hope it answers your question,
