Coping with Postpartum Vaginal Dryness: What Every New Mom Should Know

Coping with Postpartum Vaginal Dryness: What Every New Mom Should Know
Pregnancy is a monumental task for our bodies, expertly managed with the help of hormones. However, it can bring about some unwelcome physical changes. It's time to break the silence and talk about it!

After giving birth, everything changes suddenly. For some women, this isn't what they expected. The birth went smoothly, and you're adjusting to life with your new baby. So, shouldn't you be over the moon with happiness?

Unfortunately, there's a topic that's often avoided in conversation. No one shares it, and certainly not with their partner. Out of the blue, there's discomfort; the intimate area becomes dry, burns, and itches after the postpartum bleeding subsides.
Understanding why this happens and knowing that help is available is crucial for your self-esteem and a stress-free partnership. Hormonal shifts after pregnancy can cause vaginal dryness. The estrogen level drops sharply and stays low during the initial postpartum period. For some women, the skin of the vagina, the vaginal entrance, and the external intimate area become drier.

But there's good news: things will normalise over time. In the meantime, to alleviate the discomfort of vaginal dryness, women can use Dr. Wolff’s V-san Moisturising Cream. It restores the needed moisture and suppleness to the skin and cares for the affected areas.

Remember, acknowledging these changes and seeking appropriate solutions can make your postpartum journey much smoother and more comfortable.
