Why does postpartum women have decreased libido? How to Enhance Sexual Desire in Postpartum Girls
After giving birth, new mothers shift all their attention and thoughts to their children, greatly reducing their sexual interest, which makes many new fathers feel very distressed. In fact, this is a common phenomenon. As long as women are given certain care and attention, they can quickly recover.
What are the reasons for the significant decrease in sexual interest among postpartum women?
During pregnancy, due to concerns about the harm of sexual activity to the baby, avoid sexual activity and focus all your thoughts on the baby. After giving birth, the new mother will be busy taking care of the child, breastfeeding, sleeping, changing diapers, etc. This will make the new mother feel very tired, and she will be too tired to move every day, let alone have time to think about sex. Newborn mothers still remember the pain caused during childbirth, so they may also reject sexual activity.
In addition, after giving birth to a child, the body becomes deformed, such as sagging buttocks, obesity in the waist, and thick legs, which leads to a loss of confidence in the body. If it is a cesarean section, unsightly scars and undiluted stretch marks may appear on the abdomen, so one does not want to be seen by their partner. Women who give birth naturally are worried that vaginal relaxation will affect the quality of sexual life, and they are also afraid that there will be wounds in the perineum during sexual activity. Therefore, they have great concerns about sexual life. After giving birth, women's ovarian function has not fully recovered, and their sex hormone secretion is very low, so they do not have any sexual interest.
How to revive the interest of new mothers?
1. More help to take care of children
Newborn fathers must take care of their babies more, and must not refuse. They cannot leave all the tasks of taking care of their babies to women. This will make women very busy, and women are not born to take care of their babies. If they cannot take care of their children, they should learn and do more.
2. Communicate more and eliminate concerns in a timely manner
Communication between couples is indeed very important, especially after adding a baby at home, there will be many changes in life. If there is no timely communication when encountering problems, it will easily lead to many conflicts. After giving birth, many new mothers may experience various concerns and psychological problems.
