So what should pregnant mothers do if their vagina becomes dry after childbirth?

What to do if your vagina becomes dry after childbirth

Vaginal dryness after giving birth is a common occurrence. There are many reasons for this condition, including physiological factors and psychological barriers. Let's first discuss the physiological factors. After giving birth, women need to breastfeed, and the prolactin index in the body will increase significantly. This will inhibit the metabolism of estrogen in the body, leading to a decrease in women's sexual desire. The secretions in the vagina will also be greatly reduced, and vaginal dryness will naturally occur.

In addition to being affected by physiological factors, postpartum vaginal dryness is also affected by women's own psychological disorders. When having sex for the first time after giving birth, many women worry that the wound on their vulva will tear, which will cause anxiety and cause the muscles in the vagina to contract, making it difficult for the man's penis to enter. Another reason is that taking care of the newborn all day and all night can cause mental exhaustion and reduced interest in sexual life, which can lead to vaginal dryness.

Vaginal dryness after childbirth Based on our introduction above, I believe everyone has a clear answer to this question. Vaginal dryness can cause a sense of disharmony in the sexual life of couples, which will affect the relationship between the couple. Therefore, it is recommended that everyone should find the cause in time and find a way to eliminate it so that the vagina can maintain a good degree of moisture.

How to clean your vulva after giving birth

For new mothers who have vaginal injuries after giving birth, they will go to the hospital for the first 3 days. Generally, there will be nurses cleaning their private parts every day. If necessary, they can increase the frequency of cleaning by themselves. After returning home, they can clean the vulva 1-2 times a day with warm water. The cleaning order should be from front to back. Keeping the private parts clean can prevent infection during the confinement period. New mothers should not use alkaline soaps to clean their genitals after giving birth. They should try to choose baby bath soaps with less irritation. Because the immune balance of new mothers is unstable, alkaline substances can easily destroy the antibacterial "genital protection" function of the acidic environment of the private parts.
