Let’s face it… some topics just aren’t brought up enough, even though so many people are silently wondering the same thing.

Is sex truly different after having a baby? Yes. For many women, post-childbirth sex is different, and the truth is, it’s not something to feel ashamed about.

At Wei Aesthetic Institute, Dr. Judy Wei and her team hear this question all the time, quietly and behind closed doors. Women often feel alone in the changes they experience after childbirth, especially when it comes to intimacy. But you’re not alone! And more importantly, you have options.

⚠️ The Unspoken Changes No One Warned You About ❗

Childbirth is an incredible experience, but let’s not sugarcoat it. Childbirth can also be physically and emotionally intense. Whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, your body goes through profound changes, including:

Vaginal laxity (looseness)
Labial deflation and sagging
Decreased sensation during intercourse
Difficulty with orgasm
Vaginal dryness, especially while breastfeeding
Pain or discomfort during sex
Decreased libido
Labial darkening
Urinary leakage
Negative body image

These are very common. Yet many women are told to “just give it time” or “focus on the baby.” While healing and patience are essential, that doesn't mean you have to ignore your own well-being or intimacy.

Why Dr. Judy Wei is Changing the Conversation

At Wei Aesthetic Institute, we believe sexual health is health. Dr. Judy Wei is a board-certified OBGYN who specializes in advanced vaginal rejuvenation procedures that help women feel more confident, comfortable, and connected to their bodies again.

Whether you’re experiencing:

Laxity after childbirth

Vaginal dryness or discomfort

A loss of intimacy or sensation

There are real, science-backed solutions that can help.

Vaginal rejuvenation surgeries: A range of procedures designed to restore and enhance the function, appearance, and comfort of the vaginal and surrounding areas, often after childbirth or aging.
- Vaginoplasty – Surgically tightens the vaginal walls and enhances both function and appearance, commonly sought by women after childbirth. When you are no longer going to have children, this is the ultimate treatment to tighten the vaginal canal.
- Perineoplasty – Restores and tightens the opening of the vaginal canal, called the perineum (the area between the vagina and anus), improving both function and appearance after childbirth. Often performed together with vaginoplasty.
- Labiaplasty – Reshapes the labia for improved comfort, function, and appearance, often addressing changes due to childbirth, aging, or genetics.
