A lot of mothers-to-be may have such doubt;What are the changes of the vagina after childbirth?Will these changes affect me?

When you give birth,the baby travels through the cervix and out through the vagina(also called the birth canal).The entrance to the vagina must stretch to allow the baby through.

Sometimes the skin between the vagina and anus(the perineum)might tear or be cut by a doctor or midwife to allow the baby out.This is called an episiotomy.

After having a baby,it's not unusual for women to feel their vagina is more loose or dry than usual,and have perineal pain or pain during sex.

What may happen to your vagina after birth?

1.Wider vagina

Your vagina can feel loose,softer and more‘open”and even much more wider than before.But how much roomier it is largely depends on the labor time and the size of your baby.

2.Vaginal dryness

Vaginal dryness is one of the very common complaints for new moms who are nursing,which has something to do with the lower level of oestrogen in your body compared with pregnancy.

3.Vaginitis coming up

Delivery a baby is so rough that vagina and the surrounding tissue may be severely damaged,especially for the vagina mucosa.As the vagina is quite fragile with poor resistance after delivery,which gave a chance for the bacteria invasion.Thereby cause gynecological inflammation such as vaginitis

4.Colour change

No matter natural birth or C-sections you underwent,the outside vagina canal including labia,clitoris all would change shades after childbirth.The reason is not only due to the hormone changes,but also because of scarring or tearing repairs.

These are some of changes that would happen to the vagina after birth.

Please pay more attention once you notice these happen.And you’d better ask a gynecologist for help as early as possible.Don’t leave them alone.
