After sex, a womans body goes through various changes that are normal and nothing to worry about. Here are some of the most common things that can happen to a woman's body after sex:
-
Feelings of attachment: After an orgasm, people can feel a close connection to their partner, according to Mary Jane Minkin, MD, OB-GYN, clinical professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, Yale University School of Medicine.
-
Semen leakage: If a woman is not using condoms or another form of birth control, she may notice some semen leaking out of the vagina after having sex. This is normal.
-
Bleeding: Don't be alarmed if you notice that you're bleeding after sex. It's actually surprisingly common and there are multiple reasons it could be happening. According to the NHS, when your vagina is dry, you may experience bleeding.
-
Cramping: If a woman reached orgasm during sex, she may experience some cramping in her uterus afterward. This is normal and nothing to worry about.
-
Soreness: Vaginal dryness, stress, and health conditions like endometriosis can all make a woman feel sore after sex.
-
Burning sensation: If a woman feels a burning sensation after sex, it could be because her vagina is inflamed. This may happen because there could be some engorgement of vaginal tissues and since the urethra is so closely situated to the vagina, that can cause temporary burning or sting with urinating after sex. However, if a woman is concerned about a STI or the sensation doesn’t fade away, she should consider seeing a doctor.
-
Flushed face and body: It is common for a woman's face and body to look flushed after sex.
-
Vaginal secretions increase: After sex, a woman's vaginal secretions may increase.
-
Post-sex affection: After sex, most women prefer to share an intimate moment with their respective partners. Experts suggest that post-sex affection is closely interrelated to relationship satisfaction when it comes to female behaviors.
