Yes but it is also natural that there to be less blood flow to the clitoris and vagina, which reduces sensitivity and can make orgasms both more difficult to achieve and less intense.

I had a C-section about four months ago and now I have these hard, painful lumps on my left hip. I thought they'd go away on their own but they haven't. What could these be and should I be worried?

Hard, painful lumps on the hip four months after a C-section could be related to scar tissue, a hernia, or even endometriosis. While some lumps are normal post-surgery, persistent pain and lumps warrant medical evaluation. It's essential to consult with your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

What is more painful C section or natural birth?

Vaginal delivery is the most common and safest type of childbirth. You'll probably hear the term ânatural childbirthâ .The risk for discomfort after the birth is greater due to normal and expected surgical pain along the incision and abdominal soreness. These discomforts can last for several months. There is an increased risk for rupture of the C-section scar during subsequent deliveries and subsequent pregnancies.
