Females, question for you
After significant weight loss (65 pounds for me), I’ve noticed that my lady bits just don’t feel as “padded” anymore, and sex with my husband has become increasingly uncomfortable.
We’re very sexually active, I’m in my mid-40s, and it’s gotten to the point where I sometimes avoid intercourse because of how uncomfortable it feels. We’ve wondered if it could be related to perimenopause, but even with using tons of lube, it really doesn’t seem to help. It’s honestly starting to make me feel broken and frustrated.
I’ve seen my OB multiple times and they haven’t found anything medically wrong, so I’m curious if this has happened to anyone else after major weight loss and/or during perimenopause.
Has anyone experienced this?
If so, what actually helped?
I’ve even considered Botox/filler injections for the labia area to restore some volume and see if that helps with comfort (yes, apparently it’s a real thing). Has anyone tried it?
Would really appreciate hearing real experiences or suggestions.
