What should I do if my sex life becomes cold after giving birth?

For a couple, if one of them becomes sexually apathetic, it will become a major uncertain factor affecting the relationship between the two. Women are more likely to become sexually apathetic than men. For example, when women reach menopause, their sexual desire will drop significantly, and they will have different degrees of sexual apathy. In addition, postpartum women are a high-risk group for sexual apathy. So, what methods can be used to solve the problem of postpartum sexual apathy?

What should I do if my sex life becomes cold after giving birth?

Postpartum sexual apathy is one of the common sexual dysfunctions in women. After experiencing a long pregnancy and severe pain during childbirth, many new mothers fall into the embarrassment of sexual apathy after childbirth. What should I do if I feel sexually cold after giving birth? Let’s take a look.

1. Massage sensitive areas to increase sexual desire

The husband helps his wife massage her erogenous zones and sensitive points, such as ears, neck, inner thighs, armpits, breasts, nipples, etc., with slow and gentle movements, pressing with the fingertips, allowing the woman to experience a sense of happiness and comfort. Massage once a day.

2. Diet therapy for sexual indifference

Women with sexual frigidity can eat the following foods to relieve their sexual frigidity: wolfberry, ginger, onion, Cistanche, sesame, walnut, dog meat, mutton, venison, rooster, and medicinal food prepared with animal penises, testicles, and kidneys.

3. Active communication to alleviate sexual indifference

For wives who have psychological trauma or mental concerns, husbands should patiently guide them and help them eliminate their concerns; if women’s lack of sexual knowledge leads to stress and disharmony, couples should actively communicate, learn sexual knowledge, understand each other’s sexual psychology and sexual needs, actively explore and try with mutual consent, and learn to appreciate and praise each other. Be careful, patient and gentle during sexual life, with more thorough foreplay to promote sexual harmony.

Precautions for postpartum sex:

1. Do not have sex early after giving birth

Childbirth is very damaging to the body. Having sex too early before fully recovering from childbirth is likely to cause many gynecological diseases. In addition, the estrogen level in the new mother's body is low at this time, and the vagina is dry and has poor elasticity. Having sex too early can easily damage the vagina.

2. Do not forget to use contraception during postpartum sexual intercourse

When resuming sexual life after childbirth, many new mothers are still in the breastfeeding period. However, it is important to remind mothers to pay attention to contraception during this stage, because many accidental pregnancies occur within a few months after childbirth. Therefore, once sexual life is resumed, regardless of whether menstruation occurs or not, effective contraceptive measures should be taken, and do not rely on luck.

3. Prevent bacterial infection during postpartum sex

Husbands should pay special attention to bacterial infections during sexual intercourse, and both husbands and wives should have sexual intercourse after bathing. Each sexual intercourse should not be too long, so as not to affect the wife's rest and consume too much energy. Each sexual intercourse should last 20 to 30 minutes, with more caressing.
