Why is it more difficult to have sex during a normal delivery?

Most female friends are resistant to their first sexual intercourse after a natural birth, because their bodies become very bloated after pregnancy, and a natural birth will make the vagina larger, which causes women to feel uneasy. Some men said that their wives’ vaginas became tighter and their sex lives became more fulfilling after a normal birth. Why is sexual intercourse more intense during a normal birth? This may be because the muscles near the female friend's vagina were exercised during the delivery process.

1. How much damage will a normal birth cause to the mother’s vagina?

During childbirth, because the huge fetal head squeezes out of the vagina, and it may cause visible wounds such as perineal tear and episiotomy, many people believe that the vaginal tightness of women after childbirth is definitely not as good as before.

In fact, a woman's vagina is an organ with extremely strong expansion capacity. After the fetus passes through, the vagina will restore its previous structure and elasticity. A normal birth will cause minimal damage to the vagina.

The reason why there is a saying that childbirth will cause vaginal relaxation is that Chinese women generally gave birth multiple times in a short period of time, which would indeed cause vaginal relaxation in some mothers. Nowadays, most families only have one child, so expectant mothers don’t have to worry that natural childbirth will ruin their sexual happiness.

2. A normal birth will actually make your sex life more fulfilling!

The quality of a woman's sexual life depends not on the width of her vagina, but on the strength of her vaginal contraction, which in turn depends mainly on the contraction of her pelvic floor muscles.

During a normal childbirth, a woman's pelvic floor muscles expand and contract, which actually gives her a huge workout, making them stronger than before. Therefore, a normal childbirth will not only not ruin her "sexual happiness", but will also increase her satisfaction with her sex life.

After childbirth, many couples’ sex life is temporarily not as good as before. It is not because the vagina is damaged during childbirth, but because of the huge changes in identity and life after childbirth, extreme sleepiness, fatigue, and depression. Therefore, prospective parents must look at natural childbirth correctly and don’t worry too much!

3. What to do if the vagina is loose after a normal birth

1. Anal lifting exercise

When you feel the urge to defecate, hold your stool and do anal lifting exercises. Repeating this exercise frequently can help train your pelvic muscles.

2. Holding your urine

During urination, consciously hold your urine for a few seconds to interrupt urination, and then continue urinating after a short pause. Repeating this process for a period of time can increase the tension of the muscles around the vagina.

3. Use vaginal tightening products

Patients who experience severe vaginal relaxation after normal delivery can use some vaginal tightening products, or go to a trustworthy plastic surgery institution for surgery. Note: If you not only feel vaginal loosening after a normal birth, but also feel extreme pain during sexual intercourse, you may have vaginitis.

4. Contraction exercise

Lie on your back, relax your body, gently insert a finger into the vagina, then contract and clamp the vagina for 3 seconds, then relax, and repeat several times. The time can be gradually increased.

5. Vaginal repair

Vaginal repair surgery can help improve vaginal relaxation, but it is not conducive to a second natural delivery. The purpose of vaginal repair is actually to improve the quality of sexual life. Note: Patients with gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and uterine erosion are not suitable for surgery.
