Painful Sex Postpartum
Just Because It's Common, Doesn't Mean It's Normal.
Many women expect their bodies to feel different after having a baby, but they don't always expect intimacy to become painful or uncomfortable. Because these conversations aren't talked about enough, many are left wondering if what they're experiencing is normal or if they simply have to live with it.
The truth is, pain is common, but it isn't something you should ignore. Painful Sex Postpartum was created to help you better understand what may be happening in your body, why these symptoms can occur, and how pelvic floor physical therapy may help support your recovery. You deserve answers, compassionate care, and the opportunity to feel comfortable and confident in your body again. We hope that after finishing this presentation, you leave feeling more informed, encouraged, and reminded that support is available.
