Why is sex not enjoyable after my c-section?

Q: I have had 3 c-sections. After my first c-section, sex has never been the same. It has been 8 years now. It is almost like I peak during sex but not quite. It just ends abruptly in an orgasm suddenly and it is very bothersome and frustrating. I have never had any sexual problems before a c-section. I wonder why this is happening? Is it because the uterus was cut into and possibly cut or ruined some nerve endings?

A:Your C-section has most probably got nothing to do with your orgasms. You would require a really inept obstetrician indeed to injure the vaginal and clitoral nerve endings during a caesarean section. Its probably something else. You will need to be checked by a sexual physician.
