How to deal with postpartum vaginal dryness and painful intercourse

Patient's question:

After giving birth to her second child, she experienced vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. No matter how long she spent on foreplay, it made no difference. Both deliveries were cesarean sections. When she went to the hospital for check-ups, her vaginal discharge and other tests were normal, showing no signs of inflammation.

Doctor's answer:

After giving birth, due to a long period without sexual activity, the vagina may feel uncomfortable, but pain is not normal. It could be due to an incomplete healing laceration during childbirth, or it may be a result of vaginitis or cervicitis. It's best to visit a hospital for a check-up.
