When does sex stop hurting?

[Anonymous]

Sex hurt for me for 2.5 years, combo of pelvic floor trauma from birth and breastfeeding hormones. Weaned fully 4 months ago and already sex is better and orgasms are too. Estrogen therapy didn’t do anything for it. Pelvic PT helped some. Weaning seems to have helped the most (and I was having periods after a year and only nursing for like 30 seconds once every few days by the end). All my doctors said, nurse as long as you want and don’t stop for the pain. Wish I had weaned earlier cause me hating sex and it hurting nearly destroyed my marriage. No one talks about this very common side effect of breastfeeding and it’s wrong because I nearly separated from my husband thinking I never wanted to have sex with him or anyone ever again it hurt so bad. That said, pelvic door PT was quite helpful so an evaluation at least would be a good idea for you.

I had no pelvic floor issues. It got vastly better when I weaned. Before that a ton of lube but it was still not great. Btw I used Liquid silk day found it to be the best. Hormones are an amazing thing.
