Why am I still sexually apathetic one year after giving birth?

Women cannot have sex for a long time after giving birth, because they will suffer great trauma during the childbirth process. That trauma comes from psychological and physiological aspects, so relevant methods must be taken to help the body recover. Postpartum women will more or less experience sexual frigidity. Mild sexual frigidity is normal, but it is abnormal to still feel sexually frigid one year after giving birth. What causes this?

Why am I still sexually apathetic one year after giving birth?

Now it's been a year since I gave birth, and I feel a little sexually apathetic. I especially don't want to have sex. Even my husband's touch makes me feel disgusted, and I feel he is dirty when I kiss him, even if he has just brushed his teeth. Now my period is delayed by a week every month and the flow is very little, only for two or three days. I have a lot of pimples on my face and chest. People say it's an endocrine disorder, but I don't know what's going on.

The first and foremost cause of postpartum sexual indifference is, of course, physiological.

After pregnancy, organs throughout the body will change. In order to protect the healthy growth of the fetus in the womb, the intelligent reproductive system will automatically suppress sexual desire. Generally, it takes two months after delivery for various organs to gradually return to normal. Most women can resume sexual intercourse after the traditional 42-day postpartum period.

However, breastfeeding mothers are still in a special endocrine state, with high prolactin and monthly ovulation and cyclical estrogen and progesterone secretion suppressed. The condition of the vagina has not completely recovered to its pre-pregnancy state, but is similar to that of the postmenopausal vagina, with a thin mucosa and lack of elasticity and ductility, especially for mothers who are exclusively breastfeeding. This can cause postpartum women to experience uncomfortable friction, burning, or even pain during sexual intercourse.

These changes are God's deliberate arrangement. In this way, nature reduces the possibility of mothers getting pregnant again, allowing postpartum mothers to devote more energy and focus on taking care of their children.

In addition to endocrine suppression, the lack of energy of postpartum mothers is also one of the reasons for sexual frigidity. After giving birth, even if mothers experience all kinds of pain and discomfort in their bodies, they will cheer up and do their best to take care of their children. Feeding, changing diapers, bathing, and coaxing them to sleep... all of these require huge physical effort. Although newborn babies sleep a lot, about 20 hours a day, their stomachs are very small, and the food they eat is digested very quickly, so they need to be fed every 2-3 hours. Mother's sleep is cut into pieces, and a full night's sleep is a luxury for new mothers. Physical fatigue can also lead to low libido.
