I had a c-section 5 months ago and intercourse has been painful ever since. It burns and feels like he is hitting something that wasn't there before the c-section when he penetrates. Almost feels like my vagina is swollen, or something has shifted. What could this be? Thought my vagina would be normal after c-section!

I had my son by c-section on Feb 18, 2007. I have been experiencing the same exact feelings. I went to my ob and they are sending me to have an ultra sound done on the pelvic area. I just cant stand it. I want to make love to my fiance, but sometimes it is just too painful and I have to make him stop. I waited until my 6 week check-up to make love, just to make sure that everything was o.k. But, since I had my son, we have to take it slow and gentle. Even then afterwards like you said I get that burning, swelling feeling. I thought it would be normal since I did have a c-section. So if you have some info or anything that may help I would like the feed back

Oh my gosh I thought I was the only one that feels like this. I had a baby 7 months ago and sex still feels uncomfortable. During deep penetration it feels like my husband is hitting something or like my cervix is bruised. I had a lot of complications after my child's birth including infection, hemotoma, abscess, and an infectd incision. My doctor was such a dum *****.

Ladies, did you discover what the issue was? I have the same thing happening to me and I don't know why. I thought c-sections were supposed to leave everything normal down there. Please let me know.

I have been haivng the same exact thing happening to me! I had my son 3 months ago and we can't have sex like we used to! I feel like everything down there is out of wack after i have my C-section. I also had a stitch abcess wich i ended up getting staph infection, i recovered really fast,b ut maybe too fast. Now when i have sex with my partner we can't do certain positions because it honestly feels like he's hitting right beneath the end of my incision where the stitch was but also my cervix. I though that i was the only one who felt this too!pzj

I've had the same problem. I had a c-section about 9 months ago. Sex is definitely not the same as it was before. Part of the problem is with lube and hormones. Unfortunately, the hormonal roller coaster ride throws off your drive, less lube, and changes sensations. You'll have to work a little harder, and try different things than what you did pre-prego. But it is worth it. I found out that a simple yeast infection (which I had NO signs or symptoms) was the cause of my pain. I went into my OB and had them run a couple tests and that's what they found. After taking 1 Diflucan it is much better! My Dr. told me it took 9 months to get this way...and it will take at least 9 months to get back. He also said that the cervix is that "thing" thats being bumped into. And it shouldn't hurt during sex. Definitely have your OB rule out infections, etc. I put it off thinking it would get better, but little did I know 1 pill would fix it!

Ok I am a lot like you women, but different I had a very difficult pregnancy. I bled most of it, then started leaking fluids which they all said wasn't happening. I ended up having my son 2 months early, and had to have an emergency s-section, alone while my long-term bf sat with our other 2 kids....afterwards nothing felt right at all...It has now been like 5 months and I still don't feel right, I get too hot all the time, I can't sleep for long periods, I get dizzy, nauseous and sex is unbearable. I went exploring and felt my cervical opening is torn or something, usually its hard and smooth with just a fingertips area that is open...I don't know if these things are related or what? I just know I don't have insurance and if this is just something I have to deal with then ok but if this is bad I need to go to the ER....I just wanna feel better and not like I am going through chemo, tired and worn down...any help would be great..thank you

Sorry to intrude on the matter. My fiance has had a C-section. She has had the same problem. But from the wait after the surgery. I mean you do go a while and when intercourse happens its not as often as you think. so things tend to tighten up. Anyways my point is when had the same problem. The burning, Pain etc. we increased intercourse and after her check ups etc she was fine just you women do go threw a lot of cutting etc witch can cause some of the pain. But after we increased and noticed her pain did go away. Dont take me too serious tho do still get checked out no telling what doctors will drop in there when they about to staple you up,.

I had my son 11 months ago and sex still hurts, I thought it was just me or something so I didnt say much at first but now that its been quite awhile since the surgery i just dont see why it still hurts so bad. Ive actually started crying a few times because of how painful it is and its so embarrassing to even think about I havent talked about it with anyone but my fiance and he doesnt know what to think of it either.. when does it even go back to normal because ive never had this problem before the surgery and I hate not being able to be with my fiance the way I should be able to.

I'm experiencing the exact same thing. I had DD 5.5 months ago via emergency c-section and sex still feels tight and burning. I have no discomfort on the outside or any pain related to scare tissue on the outside. I was pain free by week 2 after surgery, but fr some reason sex still burns. The feeling is very hard to explain but I'm well aware you ladies know exactly what I mean. It's almost the se sensation as when they pulled the wee bag out from below. I haven't been to the gp about it yet as I thought it was all apart of healing time but it's not improving at all and has stayed the same. The pain hits just after him entering like a fuzzy burn feeling sorry TMI but it's really annoying I never had this pre pregnancy and baby was breech so her head wasn't exaclty putting pressure there.

I had my c-section almost 5 years ago and i am still having this problem. I have gone to get checked and the doctoer tells me that nothing is wrong. At the same time i had to have a laproscopy to have scar tissue removed from my uterus. Ladies i would adive you to get checked for scar tissue and just because you do get a surgrey it may not correct the problem.

Have you heard of natural progesterone,it sounds like you have a few symptoms of low progesterone especially the bleeding through your pregnancy,i have been using it for a few years and it really has sorted my hormones and body out.you can use it rightthrough pregnancy perfectly safe i did and had a fantastic pregnancy,seriously lok into it you will be glad you did,but remember its a natural product so be patient and give it a few months to let it work

My partner has exactly the same problem. Our son was born six months ago by c-section and, since then, we've tried to have sex only three or four times, none of which attempts led to the 'desired conclusion' - we've had to stop every time. In fact, it is quite difficult for me to penetrate her and she clearly doesn't enjoy the experience, which is hardly a turn-on (it also verges on the painful for me). It feels as though there is a tight 'ring' a couple of inches or so inside her vagina. We had a great sex life before the baby (and during most of the pregnancy), but penetrative sex seems impossible now. I'm rather concerned to read that this may go on for years, as it does affect the level of intimacy in the relationship. We'd also like a second baby in the next couple of years...
Is there a medical explanation for this? It seems to be fairly common after a c-section, judging by the many websites with similar threads, but I haven't found any 'real' advice.
