Hello,

Post delivery some women do eperience a feeling of heaviness in the vagina of pelvis. It can be due to uterine prolapse caused by the weakening of the tissues that support the pelvic organs. For abdominal cramps take antacids and spasmol, one SOS when required.

You are suggested to do pelvic floor exercises. Stay well hydrated. Dehydration causes headaches. Take a lot of rehydration fluids, soups & juice. Stay active & avoid sedentary lifestyle. Headache post intercourse is usually due to orgasm. Orgasm causes a spike of blood pressure causing the blood vessels to dilate. Try to relax after intercourse, take acetaminophen one SOS when required.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
