Painful Sex After Birth or Surgery — You’re Not Alone

Pain with intimacy (dyspareunia) is common after childbirth, C-section, or pelvic surgery — but it’s not something you have to “just live with.”

Why It Happens

  • Pelvic floor tightness

  • Scar tissue restrictions (C-section, perineal tear, hysterectomy)

  • Hormonal changes (especially while breastfeeding or post-menopause)

Why Ignoring It Matters

Pain with sex can impact relationships, confidence, and emotional wellbeing. But treatment is available.
