Sexual Health
Our Advice
Having sex while you are bleeding raises your chances of getting an infection. Remember, you will need to use some type of birth control if you do not want to become pregnant again.
Breastfeeding is not effective for birth control even if you have not gotten a period. If you have any questions about sexual health after giving birth, please talk to a medical professional. For more information on sexual health, please visit (link to sexual health page).
