What is postpartum frigidity?

Postpartum sexual apathy is a phenomenon that many couples will face. If it is not alleviated, it will be detrimental to the relationship between the couple. Postpartum sexual apathy may be caused by starting sexual life too early, and women are overly tired from taking care of children and have no interest.

One is starting sexual life too early. After giving birth, women's whole body and reproductive system changes caused by pregnancy and childbirth will have a certain inhibitory effect on their sexual desire. Generally, it will take two months after delivery for various organs to return to normal and sexual desire to gradually return to its pre-pregnancy state. If you start sexual life too early after giving birth, especially some husbands do it their own way without their wives' consent. This not only affects the wife's physical recovery, but also causes her to be disgusted and disgusted with sex life, and then develop into sexual frigidity.

The second is overwork. After giving birth, if a woman does not get help from her husband and family in taking care of the child, she will overdraw her physical strength and energy, which will naturally affect her sexual interest.

The third is reproductive system diseases. Some women have scars left by tears in the vulva and vagina during childbirth, which reduces the sexual sensitivity of the genitals or makes the vagina narrow, causing pain during sexual intercourse; some experience discomfort during sexual intercourse due to postpartum complications of endometriosis or chronic pelvic inflammatory disease; and some women suffer from gynecological diseases such as trichomoniasis and candidal vaginitis, which can also suppress their sexual desire to varying degrees.

Fourth is psychological barriers. Studies have found that women in the postpartum recovery stage will psychologically begin to reject sex for fear that sexual intercourse will cause wound infection; some women do not take effective contraceptive measures after giving birth, and are always nervous when having sex for fear of pregnancy; many women are very dissatisfied with the changes in their body shape after giving birth, and are worried that their husbands will not like their bodies as much as before; in addition, after giving birth, women generally devote themselves to the process of raising children, and even when communicating with their husbands, the topic revolves around the child, thus losing the sexy needs that women should have, which also leads to a decrease in "sexual" interest.
