I am 35 year old male.I had a daughter born some one month back when my wife had to go through an elective caesar.Now my doctor says we have to avoid sex for coming three months,which sounds too long.Is it a genuine suggestion?
Thanks for this!

congrats on the baby! whenever I have had female surgery it was normally 6 weeks. maybe he said 3 months due to the uterus being cut? she should be going back for a checkup soon. I would have her ask again. did you hear the dr say 3 months?

Yes.... this is a reasonable request made by a certified doctor in the best interest of your wife's health (and) please know that you will make it through this difficult time sexual as my husband survived last summer when I had some female surgery done and intercourse was off limits for three whole months.

Please know there are other ways that both you and your wife can satisfied each other sexually that does not have to involve sexual intercourse... but only after a few weeks has passed giving time for your wife to recover from the birth and to regain her own sexual interest.
Thanks for this!

Doctors know best and you should follow their recommendation. This is a sacrifice you should make for your family and your wife's health.

Yes, anand, depending on the level of trauma that her uterus was put through and how well things went, how she healed, her risk of infection, her risk of the incision busting, and a whole host of other things, this is absolutely a legitamite request. You see, when one has a C section, because of the trauma that the uterus goes through, if one has sex too soon you can actually cause ruptures of the incisions, hemorraging of the uterus(severe bleeding.. can actually be dangerous) and or infections of the area, which if severe can actually result in having to have a hysterectomy.

Now granted the majority of time this never happens, but its for the best. Like someone else suggested, this doesnt mean you cant be sexual AT ALL. There are tons of things you can do to please each other. Ask the doctor if she is allowed penetration at all - if so, then fingers might be ok for you to please her with. However the doctor might nono this too so ask first.
