Is Your Sex Life Normal?
Trick question.
There is no such thing as a “normal” sex life. You get to decide what YOU want from your sexual function.
But like many things in life, we don’t know what we don’t know.
Here are a few things you may not know about sexual function:
Feeling like you need to tense every muscle in your body to have an orgasm can be a pelvic floor problem. Working on this may make orgasms easier and stronger!
You have two pelvic floor muscles that connect directly to the clitoris. Practicing a pelvic floor contraction with a specific focus on these front muscles can help improve sensation.
The pelvic floor can move your clitoris!
Your vagina lengthens while aroused; this still happens after a hysterectomy.
Pain during sex usually doesn’t mean you’re causing damage. Sometimes, having this reassurance is all someone needs to get their sexual life back on track.
Changes in sensation and lubrication after surgery may be hormonal; direct complications from surgery are actually quite rare.
I’d love to hear from YOU!
What do you wish you knew sooner about sex after surgery? Did any of these facts surprise you?
