Everyone talks about getting cleared for intimacy postpartum… but nobody talks about how it might actually FEEL. 🫠
Pain with in*******se after birth is so common, especially when there’s scar tissue, pelvic floor tension, dryness from hormonal changes, or fear after a painful first experience. And unfortunately, one painful experience can cause the pelvic floor to guard and tighten even more, creating a cycle of anticipation and pain. 💔
The good news? You do NOT have to just ‘wait it out.’ Pelvic floor physical therapy can help improve scar tissue mobility, reduce pelvic floor tension, teach relaxation strategies, and help your body feel safe again. And for many women, vaginal estrogen can also be an absolute game changer for tissue healing and comfort postpartum. ✨
Postpartum healing deserves more support than a quick 6-week clearance.
