Sexual indifference after childbirth

Many couples have this experience: after having children, they may experience sexual apathy. During this period, girls pay more attention to their children and may not care about their husbands. If the husband has physical needs, the woman may refuse with various excuses. In fact, this has a great impact on the relationship between husband and wife, and both parties need to work together to improve this situation. So, what is the reason for women's sexual indifference after giving birth?

1. Starting sexual life too early after childbirth

Women inevitably experience changes in their reproductive system after giving birth, which also weakens their desire for sexual desire. It usually takes two or three months to recover before normal sexual life can be resumed. Therefore, if women have sexual life before their bodies have fully recovered after giving birth, they will develop aversion to sex and become sexually apathetic.

2. Postpartum hormone changes

After giving birth, it is inevitable that there will be changes in the body's hormone levels, such as increases or decreases in progesterone and estrogen levels. The hormones that help secrete milk begin to increase significantly, causing a lack of estrogen, which changes the environment in the vagina and affects sexual intercourse.

Due to the lack of stimulation from female hormones, the inner wall of the vagina is very thin and there is no normal blood circulation, which seriously affects the smoothness of sexual intercourse. It is usually necessary to wait three months for the vagina to return to normal.

3. Changes in reproductive organs

The childbirth process will have an inevitable impact on women's reproductive organs, such as changes in the condition of the vaginal muscles, perineal tears, enlargement of the vaginal opening, and enlargement of the pelvis and uterus. The most important thing is that the tightness of the vagina will be greatly reduced, thus reducing the friction during sexual intercourse. Therefore, women should be given time to exercise and restore their reproductive organs.

4. Reproductive system diseases

Childbirth inevitably causes varying degrees of damage to the reproductive organs and even triggers a series of reproductive diseases. For example, scars left after lacerations of the vulva and vagina can reduce women's sensitivity; narrow vaginal walls can cause pain during sexual intercourse; complications of endometriosis and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease after childbirth can all lead to decreased libido and frigidity. At the same time, women may also suffer from other gynecological diseases, such as vaginitis, vaginal itching, abnormal leucorrhea, vulvar burning sensation, etc. These diseases have a great inhibitory effect on sexual desire.

5. Improper contraceptive measures

If you do not take active contraceptive measures in time during sexual intercourse after giving birth, you will inevitably become restless and have difficulty concentrating during the process due to the fear of getting pregnant again. If you stop having sex, take contraceptive measures and then start over, it will affect the pleasure, and if it continues for a long time it will lead to sexual frigidity.
