What are the effects of vaginal delivery on sexual intercourse?

There are two ways for women to give birth, one is the traditional natural birth, and the other is caesarean section. Compared with the two, natural birth has more benefits, but this way of natural birth will make women's vagina loose, which is very detrimental to the quality of their later sexual life. Therefore, some pregnant women will choose caesarean section. So what are the effects of natural birth on sexual intercourse?

First, what are the effects of normal delivery on sexual intercourse? Normal delivery is the most natural, healthiest and green way of childbirth for humans. The reason why some people choose cesarean section, in addition to being afraid of pain, is that they believe that normal delivery will cause vaginal relaxation and affect the couple's sexual satisfaction. In fact, there are now many medical labor analgesia methods that can moderately reduce the pain of mothers during normal delivery, such as Lamaze pain-relieving breathing method, simple drug analgesia, and doula pain relief. These three methods can reduce pain by 30%; there is also spinal anesthesia, which has the most definite analgesic effect, with a pain reduction rate of 90%.

Second, medical research has shown that the vagina is a highly expandable tubular organ through which the fetus can pass smoothly and the anatomical structure of the vagina can recover normally after delivery. Although normal childbirth will squeeze the vagina and cause a certain amount of looseness, as long as you do more "Kegel exercises" after delivery, or go to the hospital for private repair projects, the vagina will usually regain its previous elasticity and will not affect your sexual life. This adverse consequence may occur if the baby gives birth repeatedly.

Third, some women feel that their vagina is much looser after resuming their sexual life. This is due to the changes in hormones in the body during pregnancy, especially the increase in progesterone, which causes relaxation of muscles throughout the body. As women age, vaginal relaxation is a physiological phenomenon and will not be aggravated by having one or two children.

What are the effects of natural childbirth on sexual intercourse? Sexologists say that in terms of the quality of sexual life, the biggest factor in achieving a happy level of sexual life is actually not the width of the vagina in its natural state, but the strength of the vaginal contraction during orgasm, which mainly depends on the contraction strength of the pelvic floor muscles. Although cesarean section can keep the vaginal space smaller, it is also difficult to achieve sexual happiness without the contraction force. Natural birth provides such a natural exercise process. When women give birth naturally, their vaginal muscles expand and then contract, which naturally makes them stronger. The main reasons that really affect the couple's sexual life after childbirth are depression and extreme sleepiness. Although the cesarean section wound is not in the perineum, the wound takes a long time to heal, and the satisfaction of sexual life is likely to decrease.
