What causes dryness during intercourse after childbirth?

After giving birth to a baby, the couple's intercourse is also a topic of great concern to many people. Since intercourse is not allowed from pregnancy to childbirth, intercourse has become a matter of great concern to many people after giving birth to a baby. So what is the reason for dryness and pain in postpartum sex? What are the causes of dryness in postpartum sex?

After giving birth, women often experience dryness in the vagina during intercourse, which will have a certain impact on the body's recovery, and will often cause pain due to dryness. The main reason is that after giving birth, the body becomes very weak and the endocrine system is prone to imbalance, which will cause a lack of water in the vagina and lead to dryness.

Many people think that the first time after giving birth is more terrible than the first time having sex, and it is also very painful, because the dryness in the vagina will make women feel very uncomfortable, so at this time, the first time of short intercourse, the husband's posture should be gentler, and certain preparations should be made in the early stage, and lubricant can be used if necessary.

During the postpartum lactation period, prolactin metabolism is high, which suppresses the ovaries, ovulation, and menstruation. There is no menstruation during the entire lactation period, and the secretion of estrogen and progesterone is also relatively low. The less estrogen secretion, the less secretion, and there will be a dry feeling during intercourse, and even pain during intercourse. This is caused by the special physiological environment of women during breastfeeding. It is not an abnormal phenomenon, but a normal physiological protection behavior. If the pain is severe, a biopsy is also needed to rule out vaginitis. The most common vaginitis after childbirth is bacterial infection of the vagina. If the diagnosis is bacterial infection of the vagina, metronidazole gel and other medications should be used for treatment, which has a good effect.

Women should not have sex too early after giving birth. At this stage, the vagina has not been fully recovered, and it is easy to be damaged again during sex. Especially for women who choose natural childbirth, they should not have sex too early. Generally, they can have sex only after the body has recovered for about 42 days after giving birth. At this time, the husband must understand that after all, his wife's physical and mental health is the most important.
