What to do if you have dryness and pain during sex after childbirth

After a long ten months of pregnancy and the recovery period after childbirth, the couple's sexual life will gradually return to normal. However, some women who have just given birth will always find that when they have sexual intercourse, they will experience varying degrees of dryness and pain. Postpartum sexual intercourse needs to be at an appropriate time to avoid harm to the pregnant woman's body. Therefore, postpartum sexual intercourse should be postponed until the pregnant woman's body recovers. During sexual intercourse, many couples will encounter dryness and pain. So what should I do if I have dry and painful sex after childbirth?

1. Time plus tenderness.

When women who have just given birth gradually resume their sexual life, they often experience vaginal dryness and pain. First of all, this phenomenon is a problem that most women who have just given birth have. It takes some time to gradually adjust to this matter, and there must be a process of gradual adaptation. After all, the woman is still in the breastfeeding period after giving birth, and the secretion levels of various hormones in the body are not yet normal, so it will also cause a decrease in vaginal secretions. This requires time to slowly adjust, and the time for gentle caressing must be increased accordingly, which will have a certain improvement effect.

2. Auxiliary methods to help.

After giving birth, the body's estrogen secretion level is low during the lactation period, so the secretion of vaginal mucus will be greatly reduced. If the above methods cannot effectively improve the condition, you will need to rely on some lubricants to improve the symptoms of vaginal dryness. This method is also a good way. As the couple's sexual life gradually returns to normal frequency in the future, the relative vaginal dryness will gradually ease or even disappear.

3. It is important to adjust your mental state.

There are many women who have just given birth and have not yet gotten over the pain of childbirth, especially some women still have mild depression due to childbirth, which can also lead to the inability to carry out sexual life well, which can cause vaginal dryness and pain. Therefore, you must first adjust your own mental state, encourage yourself with confidence, and slowly reduce the vaginal dryness during intercourse.

What to do if vaginal dryness occurs during sex after childbirth

First point: Do not use ordinary shower gel to clean private parts

Because there are beneficial bacteria located in the vulva of women's private parts, they will produce lactic acid bacteria, which keep the area at a certain acidity and alkalinity to prevent the growth of bacteria (bacteria like alkaline environments). If ordinary neutral or alkaline shower gel or soap is used, it is easy to destroy the natural protective film of the private parts, so acidic cleaning products must be used regularly.

Second point: Be very alert to the aging of skin in private parts

Skin aging is an inevitable gradual development trend that accompanies aging. Especially for women who have just given birth or indulge in excessive sexual activity, the aging problem of private parts is more obvious. Vaginal dryness, darkening and dullness of the vulva, and vaginal loosening are all external manifestations of aging. Many women will choose to significantly reduce the frequency of sexual intercourse to solve this problem, which is actually unnecessary. The more effective way to cure the problem of private aging is to use marjoram herbs for external use. Because the herb is natural and basically harmless to the human body, it is recommended not to use surgical methods to tighten the private parts or cure aging conditions such as vaginal dryness unless absolutely necessary.

Third point: You can also use moisturizing products appropriately in private parts

The structure of the skin in the private parts is similar to that of the mouth skin. There is only a thin layer of stratum corneum covering the dermis, and moisture is easy to leak out. In addition, modern women are under great pressure and have abnormal work and rest schedules, so the resistance of the private parts is poor and it is not easy to maintain an acidic and alkaline environment. Therefore, when possible, in addition to using these acidic cleansing products appropriately every day, you can also apply some moisturizing products in daily skin care products. This can maintain the natural acid-alkaline protective film as much as possible. Although it is not a cure-all, it is also a rare daily medical maintenance method.
