What can I do for a smaller vaginal opening after childbirth that is causing pain on intercourse?

Doctor's Answer

Hi!

I suggest to have it looked at by your obstetrician, just to make sure that there is no abnormal healing or scarring.

For some women post first delivery, there is a bit of discomfort after the first few attempts at intercourse.

This should generally resolve with time. I suggest to go slowly, and use plenty of lubricant.
