When Will Vagina Return To Normal After Childbirth?

There is no time-frame for your body's vagina to return back to its former shape. It is a gradual process. Exercising your vagina (typically Kegel exercises) will help it to get back to its original form more rapidly. Wounds to the uterus as well as perineum (the area seen between the vagina and anus) as well as vagina heal quite rapidly.

Give yourself time and remember a drier vagina is normal, particularly if you are breast-feeding. You can always try using a lubricant like K-Y, just until your body's hormone levels return to normal leading to your vagina lubricating itself.

Ask your health care provider before resuming sexual activity. You could experience some tenderness so always proceed slowly. Consider more comfortable positions like starting out with being on top or possibly lying side-by-side such that you can regulate the depth of penetration.
