It’s so normal to feel frustrated by sudden changes with your body, especially when they mess with intimacy! I’ve read that even mild dehydration or increased caffeine intake can cause some people to experience noticeable differences in bodily functions, including the natural lubrication down there. Maybe try experimenting with your hydration levels or cutting down on caffeine a bit to see if that helps. It might sound strange, but the little things do add up sometimes.
Also, I think it’s great that you’re doing kegel exercises! They’re supposed to help with sensations and control, which might be useful here too. Some people find that strengthening the pelvic floor helps them “hold back” a bit when it comes to arousal responses. Maybe if you increase the intensity of your kegel exercises, it might help you regain some control over this excess wetness.
And I totally get your hesitation about antihistamines. It’s worth considering that they can dry out other areas, but since they also reduce sensitivity, they might impact the experience in unexpected ways. If you’re up for it, you could talk to a doctor about safe alternatives or perhaps lower doses to see if it offers relief without full desensitization.
Your husband sounds like a real trooper, though! It’s good to have his support as you both figure out the best way forward. Maybe there’s a way he could get involved with the kegels or exercises to make it a bit more of a team effort and even a fun experiment for you both. That might take some of the pressure off!
