Discussing sexual health during pregnancy is essential, as it's often a topic lacking adequate attention. Women frequently inquire about the safety of sex during this time. Dr. Uchenna Ossai, who is both a Certified Sex Counselor and Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, provides insight into the safety and potential improvements of sexual activity during pregnancy.
Dr. Ossai assures that sexual activities, including the use of toys, masturbation, and intercourse, can continue safely during pregnancy unless discomfort or other issues arise, in which case a doctor should be consulted.
Pregnancy hormones can increase sexual desire, potentially enhancing sex life. However, as pregnancy progresses, some positions may become uncomfortable, and preferences for different sexual activities may shift.
Dr. Ossai recommends caution with sexual enhancers like CBD lubricants or warming gels during pregnancy and suggests discussing their safety with a doctor.
Postpartum sex may require adjustments due to discomfort or vaginal dryness, especially for those who are breastfeeding. Dr. Ossai advises discussing the use of topical estrogen creams with a healthcare provider to alleviate symptoms. Communication with one's partner is also key during this period.
Lack of awareness and access to Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy contribute to the gap in knowledge regarding sexual health during and after pregnancy. Dr. Ossai emphasizes the importance of seeking care for any pelvic or chronic pain issues.
