Most women will experience frigidity after giving birth. Because they are exhausted after giving birth and their reproductive systems need to slowly return to normal. In addition, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of raising children and have almost no interest in sex. Generally, postpartum sex Indifference will last for half a year or more, affecting the relationship between husband and wife. What should we do in the face of this problem?

I haven’t been interested in XXOO since giving birth, what should I do?

1. Reasonable use of lubricants

Estrogen levels in the body drop rapidly after giving birth. Women who are breastfeeding have high prolactin hormones, which can inhibit the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone, resulting in reduced estrogen production. Low estrogen can cause a burning sensation in a woman's vulva, congestion of the vaginal mucosa, a significant decrease in secretions, and local dryness and pain during sex. In this case, water-based lubricants can be used reasonably, which can reduce dryness and pain. Generally, after the estrogen level returns to normal, the vaginal mucosa will slowly recover.

2. Do Kegel exercises

Increased pelvic floor pressure during pregnancy and childbirth, coupled with holding the baby after delivery, can easily cause excessive fatigue of the pelvic floor muscles, resulting in pelvic floor muscle relaxation. Therefore, after giving birth, you need to choose a regular hospital to evaluate the pelvic floor function and insist on doing Kegel exercises.

3. Pay more attention to rest

Women have a very hard time after giving birth. They cannot sleep well at night. They often get up in the middle of the night to feed their children, change diapers, etc., and worry about their children's every move. This makes them physically and mentally exhausted, and their sexual interest is bound to decrease. Sex is an indispensable spice for both husband and wife, but it is not the whole of marriage. After a woman gives birth to a child, she cannot focus all her attention on the child and ignore the feelings of her husband or others. This often leads to family conflicts. Expectant fathers should be involved during pregnancy, enter the role of father in advance, and take care of the child together after giving birth to reduce the burden on women. After childbirth, you should seize some time between feedings, pay more attention to rest, avoid playing with mobile phones or computers, and cooperate with appropriate exercises to help restore physical strength and energy, and slowly return to normal sexual desire.

4. Adjust your mentality

After giving birth, women have no interest in sex life, feel depressed and anxious, do not like to communicate with others, and do not want to meet other people. They are always depressed and sometimes cry inexplicably. They need to be wary of postpartum depression. Postpartum depression is related to postpartum hormone level disorders, psychological changes, and changes in social roles. Patients may also experience abnormally low mood, weight loss, general weakness, insomnia, and even suicidal tendencies. Don't be discouraged in this situation. You might as well talk to family or friends to get some comfort and support. Get more exposure to the sun, participate in more postpartum exercises, and communicate more with new mothers, which can increase your parenting experience and relieve stress.

Warm reminder

After a woman gives birth to a child, her husband should give her a certain amount of consideration and care to enhance the relationship between the couple. This can reduce psychological resistance and effectively improve the problem of frigidity. After giving birth, a woman cannot devote all her time to the baby. She needs to take some time away from the baby so that her husband and family can take care of the baby and spend more time alone with her husband, which is conducive to the recovery of sexual desire. The vagina becomes loose after giving birth, which is the main reason for the decline in the quality of sexual life and frigidity. It can be improved by appropriate postpartum rehabilitation exercises or vaginal constriction surgery.
