Pain In Lower Abdomen, Painful During Bowel Movement. Had C Section, Had Sex After 9 Days. What Should Be Done?
I had a c section due to ectopic pregnancy, I had sex after 9 days and after 2 weeks, I wasn't informed until my friend told me that I have to hold sexual intercourse with my husband until 2 months, Im now 3 weeks of recovering after my operation and my lower abdomen still hurts, and it is also painful every time I bowel and urinate...is it because of my internal stitch? what should I do?
It is unfortunate that you were not informed about sexual abstinence for at least 3-6 weeks after a cesarean section. But, nothing can be done about that now.
Do not worry. The only reason why sexual intercourse is restricted for this duration, is because we need to give the body time to heal, and sexual intercourse delays that.
So nothing serious to worry about, from the last date of sexual, I would request you to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least 3-4 weeks. I am sure everything will be fine by then. If you experience any other symptoms in between, feel free to write back to me or visit your doctor.
I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://doctor.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-shoaib-khan/64581 . I would gladly help you.
Best wishes.
