Vaginal dryness
Hi all,
My baby is 6 months and I am EBF.
I can’t cope with how I feel down there! Since giving birth I feel so dry and keep getting little cuts on my vagina not sure if I get them from sex or shaving. I get the small cuts a lot on my perineum it’s driving me mad 😭 anything that I can do? Or is anyone experiencing the same?
Thanks

Hello mama!
I couldn't have proper sex life because of the dryness that BF has bring me so totally get you on that!
I have been prescribed oestrogen cream (Estriol 0, 01) by my GP (then gynecologist confirmed I should us it) to put on down there and it worked so well for me and I am slowly healing drom dryness. It doesn't affect my milk supply just so you know.
Maybe go and see your GP about this?
Do you use lubricant? They really insisted I should use some + foreplay as much as I can :) Not too bad for a homework 😏❤️
I bought over the counter Dr Wolf's V-Sann... its just like a Moisturiser for your vag 🤣 aimed at menopausal women but there's no medication in it! It works quite well and I haven't needed any hormonal creams since using this. Worth a try 😊
Not breast feeding but I am the same. Having to use lube every time but even then, sometimes when wiping myself after a wee it can be uncomfortable due to how dry it is. No advice apart from go to GP really.. I haven't been myself though so not sure what they'd say
