Why can't I have sex after a normal birth?

Generally speaking, most women stop having sex after pregnancy and during the confinement period after childbirth. If the interval between sex is long, many couples can't wait to have sex after giving birth. Sex is a happy time, but some women have problems with the penis not being able to smoothly enter the woman's vagina during sex after giving birth. This situation is often very embarrassing. What is the reason?

Why can't I have sex after a normal birth?

Generally speaking, women experience low libido within two months after giving birth, which is normal. If you have sex, you often cannot achieve a harmonious sexual life, and it may also cause women to become frigid, affecting the relationship between the couple in the future.

Causes of dryness:

1. Lack of sufficient sexual induction before sexual intercourse: that is, insufficient foreplay, the man is eager to enter, the woman has not yet reached sexual excitement, and the Bartholin's glands do not secrete enough mucus to lubricate the vagina, causing dryness;

2. Psychological influence on the woman: fear of pain during sexual intercourse, worry about possible pregnancy, misunderstanding of sexual intercourse, lack of psychological preparation for sexual intercourse, etc. will affect the reduction of secretions;

3. Decreased estrogen secretion: such as ovarian dysfunction, menopause, lactation, after ovulation, etc.;

4. Influence of drugs: such as taking sedatives, antihypertensive drugs, etc.

In case of vaginal dryness, sexual intercourse should be stopped for a while, and both parties should relax. Then, the man can stimulate the woman's clitoris or nipples and guide the woman to have sexual fantasies. In addition to psychotherapy, drug therapy is also a good method, which is very effective in treating vaginal dryness and increasing sexual excitement.

Precautions for sex after normal delivery

1. Keep hygiene

Because new mothers have poor disease resistance after childbirth, the wounds in the reproductive tract still exist and have not completely healed. Therefore, when having sex at this time, you must pay attention to maintaining hygiene, especially the male genitals must be kept clean. Wash them with warm water before having sex. Women should pay attention to cleaning their genitals after sex to avoid infection.

2. Pay attention to gentle movements

Since the new mother has just given birth, her body has not fully recovered, especially her reproductive organs are traumatized, her vagina is relatively dry, and her vaginal mucosa is very fragile. This requires the husband to pay attention to being more considerate of his wife, and be gentle during sex, give his wife more caress, and try to eliminate his wife's psychological barriers. Otherwise, if the movement is too violent, it may cause vaginal lacerations and bleeding.

3. Pay attention to postpartum contraception

Many new mothers, after the birth of their baby, do whatever they want without any scruples, as they do not have their menstrual period and think they will not get pregnant. They can enjoy a torrent of sexual life without having to worry about contraception. In fact, many new mothers become pregnant when they have sex after giving birth without taking any contraceptive measures, which can cause serious harm to women's bodies. Therefore, when having sex after childbirth, you must consider contraception.
