What to do if you have pain during intercourse after childbirth

Many postpartum women will face the problem of pain during intercourse after childbirth. If it is not effectively improved, it will also affect the harmony of the couple's sexual life. Therefore, we must pay attention to improvement and pay attention to emotional regulation. If necessary, we can use lubricants.

1. Childbirth is an important experience in a woman's life , causing great physical and mental changes. After childbirth, the secretion of prolactin increases and the secretion of estrogen decreases significantly, resulting in a decrease in vaginal secretions in women under the same sexual stimulation. This condition can last for three months to six months. After giving birth, women also face a change in their social roles. Most of their attention will shift to their children. Feeding the baby day and night disrupts their normal sleep, making them prone to physical and mental fatigue and depression. These reasons may prevent women from fully engaging in AA, causing the vagina to be insufficiently moistened and causing pain during intercourse. Some women who give birth naturally may also experience pain during sexual intercourse due to poor healing of perineal wounds. ?

2. This is not a disease . It usually takes three months to half a year. As your body recovers and your mood relaxes, your vagina will naturally become lubricated again and you will have a satisfying sex life. Although psychological vaginal dryness is relatively rare, when women are always worried about sexual intercourse pain or are afraid of poor performance during AA, it can also inhibit the normal lubrication response of the vagina and cause sexual intercourse pain.

3. Of course, you don’t have to wait until three months before starting to have sex. In your case, you can use vaginal lubricants, which can greatly reduce the pain. Husbands should help their wives take care of the children and reduce their wives' burdens so that they can be freed from the heavy task of raising children, devote themselves to lovemaking, and improve the symptoms of dyspareunia. ?
