Hello- There is always a risk of perineal tearing during sex, even without the complications of childbirth. Dryness is one of the main causes of perineal tears during sex, and the post-partum vagina is usually dry due to a sudden decline in estrogen and progesterone. Using lubricants during sex is one way to prevent perineal tearing. For some women, tears lead to scarring and disfiguration of the perineum, which can result in vaginal looseness and a decreased sexual drive.
