Do You Know The Relationship Between Vagina Laxity And Natural Birth?

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 might tear or be cut by a doctor or midwife to allow the baby out.This is called an episiotomy.

Some women may find that their vagina is more or less loose or dry than usual,some even have perineal pains during sex…Actually,all of these are the expressions of vagina changes following childbirth.

Can vaginal birth really cause a loose vagina?

The answer is of course yes.Childbirth is one of main reasons that will cause your vagina to lose any of stretch.And it is natural for your vagina to change after delivery as your vaginal muscles would stretch in order to let your baby pass through the birth canal and out of your vagina’s entrance,and even if the labor is over,the muscles could not rebound back due to less elasticity,which finally lead to vagina laxity.

Besides,this laxity can reduce vaginal sensation during intercourse and diminish sexual satisfaction of both partners,which can in turn lead to decreased sexual self-esteem and a drop in sexual intimacy.

Can I choose cesarean to prevent vagina laxity?

Many females may have this misconception that cesarean will not cause a loose vagina as the baby do not pass through from vagina.Really?That’s not true.In fact,the vagina begins to loose during the pregnancy.Because the fetus is growing in the womb,and with the increase of uterine weight,the pelvic floor muscles that support the uterus will be oppressed and damage.Then it is more likely for the uterus to drop into the vagina without the powerful support of pelvic floor muscles.Just think about it,carrying”a big ball”inside vagina all the time,won’t the muscle fibers in the vagina break?Doesn’t the elasticity reduce?Well,tha vagina naturally gets loose.

What if the vagina loose after childbirth?

If you suffer from vagina laxity after delivery,vagina tightening surgery could work for you.But you should choose a normal private plastic surgery,like Best-Skilled OBGYN clinic,whose Posterior Vaginoplasty developed by director Yoon Ho-Joo is a patented procedure,which can repair all of the problems caused by childbirth at the same time.And the procedure will do no harm to any tissues.Posterior Vaginoplasty has helped countless women regain health and sex life.
