Sex is still painful.

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
Since I gave birth, sex has been painful for me and it's been very hard to enjoy it. Before I got pregnant, I had quite a few cysts on my ovaries and a lot of fluid. My OBGYN removed all of that stuff and I felt so much better. All during my pregnancy, sex didn't hurt a bit. Now, it's so painful! I didn't tear during my vaginal delivery, could I have scar tissue? And can they do anything to fix it? Thanks!

    I'm not saying it's in your head because obviously our vags aren't linked so that I feel your pain. But maybe your still tense because now you anticipate the pain. Have you tried wine and lots of lube?

    Haha! I have tried lube, but I haven't tried wine. I haven't drank since G was born. I know I do anticipate the pain though. This might be TMI, but I'm always really dry (and lube helps that, of course) But it hurts really bad when he's all the way in me. I just know it's made it really hard to enjoy, it sucks donkeyballs.

    I agree with the wine. 2-3 glasses after LO is out for the night and you're good to go. You may even enjoy DP with that much alcohol, who knows?!

    Have you tried KY liquabeads? They really do wonders for me in the dryness department.

    Does it hurt in every position or mostly just one? Is he giving you enough foreplay so that you're more "ready" for him or are you kind of just doing it to get it over with?

    I've read that it can be painful for up to a year PP but if you're concerned you should definitely call your OB.

    I talked to my OB about this at my last appt and she said sometimes things heal funny and you need physical therapy.  They can either do ultrasound or injections to losen the tissue up.  I didn't tear on the outside but had lots of tears internally.  I start PT in a couple weeks...

    Ditto this, I am in PT for the same thing.  I ended up with a c-section but was in labor with a balloon catheter for 26 hours which did some damage and we can't even attempt sex, it's like a vice grip (in a not awesome way) so I would talk to your OB and see if they have any thoughts.

    What kind of pt can be done? Curious because I have pain/scar tissue too. My ob just told me to stretch it with a finger. I never do that. Just seems silly. But maybe it is what I gotta do....
