Women's lower body becomes loose after giving birth

Many female friends are particularly concerned about their figure, and even whether their vagina is the same as before is also the focus of their attention. Many women find that their vagina becomes loose after giving birth to a baby through natural delivery, and they no longer have the same feeling as before. Many people do not understand the reason for this and are also very anxious about how to solve it. So what should be done if the vagina becomes loose after natural delivery?

There are usually two main ways for women to give birth: one is natural childbirth, which is known as normal delivery; the other is cesarean section, which is known as cesarean section. There are many benefits to giving birth naturally. It not only reduces the side effects of anesthesia caused by caesarean section, but also the fetus is delivered from the mother's body through labor pain, which increases the emotional connection between parents and children and is more conducive to the secretion of milk after delivery.

However, most women now choose to give birth by caesarean section. Their reason is that in addition to being afraid of the pain of cervical dilation during natural delivery, they are also afraid that their body shape will be distorted and vaginal relaxation will affect the couple's future sexual life. But, will a normal birth make the lower body loose? What changes occur in a woman’s private parts after a natural childbirth? How to prevent vaginal relaxation after normal delivery?

Women's lower body becomes loose after giving birth

Vaginal relaxation refers to the decrease in tension in the pelvic muscles, which causes the muscles around the vagina to relax and the vagina to widen. Normal childbirth will cause varying degrees of vaginal relaxation, but it will generally recover within 3 months after delivery, especially for young mothers, who can almost return to their pre-delivery level.

There are many reasons for vaginal relaxation after childbirth. The fetus is too large (the head is too large), causing birth injuries during natural delivery; mid-term induced labor causes vaginal damage; multiple deliveries; lack of exercise after childbirth; blind weight loss during the postpartum recovery period, not paying attention to nutrition or overwork.

This can lead to poor recovery of the pelvic muscle groups, etc.

For mothers who give birth naturally, since the fetus is delivered through the vagina, the diameter of the baby's head is generally about 10 cm at birth. That is, the vagina will expand to 10 cm during delivery (the normal vaginal diameter is 2.5 cm). After the squeezing of the baby at birth, the vagina expands significantly, the muscles and hymen scars are completely destroyed, and the elasticity is significantly reduced.

However, although the mother's vagina changes after vaginal delivery, there will be varying degrees of vaginal relaxation. But it does not mean that natural childbirth is the culprit for vaginal relaxation, because the mother's pelvic muscles and ligaments will be fully extended when giving birth to prepare the birth canal for the baby's birth. Therefore, even mothers who have undergone cesarean section will have loose vagina.
