My c-section was a very pleasant experience with a very good recovery, but I still have one weird problem; sex is extremely painful. Penetration causes a really painful, burning feeling around the perineal muscles. My geneo was a bit perplexed as the c-section should not have had an effect on this. She said it was due to lack of oestrogen and gave me oestrogen pesaries, but there is no improvement at the end of treatment. I am bfing. The pain is bad enough that sex is impossible and also reminiscent of problems I had when I first tried to have sex years ago.
Has anyone been through anything similar after birth? Did you find anything that helped you overcome it?
