Does natural childbirth have a big impact on the vagina?

Fertility is a phenomenon that modern people attach great importance to, because fertility can bring people the opportunity to reproduce, and women play an extremely important role in reproduction - mothers. Giving birth is an important process of being a mother. However, for most women, giving birth is very dangerous, especially the impact on the reproductive tract is the greatest. Let’s take a look at whether normal childbirth has a big impact on the vagina?

Normal childbirth does not have much impact on the vagina. Some people think that the elasticity of the vagina will become worse after giving birth, but it usually recovers quickly. However, a small number of pregnant women were not well protected during delivery, resulting in vaginal lacerations. Some severe lacerations may even affect urination and defecation. This also needs to be taken into consideration.

Natural childbirth will not cause vaginal relaxation, which will affect postpartum sexual life, so there is no need to worry about it.

The vagina is a tubular organ with good expandability, which can completely allow the fetus to be delivered smoothly without hindering its future contraction. For most women, after a period of rest and recovery after a normal birth, the vaginal soft tissue and muscles will return to their pre-birth state. So there is no need to worry about natural childbirth affecting your postpartum sex life.

Besides, most mothers only give birth to one or two children, which hardly causes any damage to the vagina. Mothers who have given birth to many children may experience vaginal relaxation due to repeated vaginal expansion. As long as you pay attention to your physical health and strengthen the muscles of your body, especially the perineum, you don't have to worry about vaginal loosening even if you give birth to many children.

But there are a few exceptions, such as: vaginal damage caused by induced labor in mid-pregnancy, an overly large fetal head, birth injuries caused by normal delivery, insufficient postpartum exercise, a rush to lose weight after delivery, poor recovery of the pelvic floor muscle groups, etc.

In addition, medical experts say that the reason for the deterioration of postpartum sexual experience is wound recovery, not vaginal relaxation. In the long run, bad mood and physical and mental exhaustion caused by parenting are the culprits that lead to difficulties in sexual life.
