Postpartum sexual numbness and mild inflammation after a cesarean section - what's the reason?

Patient's question:

I haven't felt anything during sex since having a C-section (it was because I had a natural birth and couldn't move for the whole morning, then the baby aspirated water, so I had a C-section, and the wound's sutures didn't dissolve properly). It's been twenty years, and I still don't feel anything, with only mild inflammation. Hello experts, what could be the reason?

Doctor's answer:

After a cesarean section, for the past twenty years, I have had no sensation during sexual activity, only mild inflammation, which generally would not interfere. The sensation during sexual activity can be related to gynecological inflammation, or it may be due to posture or sex hormones. Couples should communicate more often to see if there are any particularly sensitive areas or positions. They can also go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Cesarean section patients can understand and treat symptoms accordingly while using home remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. Proper diet should be maintained in daily eating habits to avoid stimulating foods.
