    Will the vagina not relax after a caesarean section?

      The vagina is a highly expandable cylindrical organ, which is fully capable of allowing contractions in the future without affecting future contractions. fetus Passed smoothly. After nearly two months of rest after delivery, the elasticity of the vagina can fully return to pre-pregnancy levels.

      What's more, most families currently have only one child, and the damage to the vagina is almost negligible. Unless they are mothers with multiple children, they will be affected due to the repeated expansion of the vagina. In fact, as long as the body healthy Strong, always pay attention exercise If you strengthen the body, especially the perineal muscles, the tightness of the vagina will not be affected even if you have several children.

      Generally speaking, the root cause of vaginal wall relaxation is the breakage of the vaginal "elastic fibers".

      “"Elastic fiber" supports the "vaginal elastic mesh" like a "spring" and locks in moisture like a "reservoir" dam. The elasticity, moisture, and smoothness of the vagina all depend on the elastic fibers in the vaginal cells, which are the "tight elements" of women. When you become a woman, the vaginal wall undergoes tearing or frequent strenuous sexual movements. During sexual intercourse, childbirth, excessive sexual life, flow of people , during medical abortion, the elastic fibers of the vagina are "stretched" again and again, the "vaginal elastic mesh" breaks, and the vagina is unable to retract after being stretched, resulting in“ vaginal relaxation ”. As we grow older, female The decrease in estrogen levels causes deformation of muscles, fascia, ligaments and related supporting structures. The tension of muscles decreases, the fascia becomes thinner, and the vaginal mucosa atrophies, which is also the cause of vaginal relaxation.

      How to prevent and improve vaginal relaxation?

      Exercise therapy: Doing pelvic muscle exercises can help strengthen the contraction of the vaginal, anal sphincter and pelvic floor muscles.

      The simplest method: the "interrupted urination" method

      Carry out urination interruption exercise when urinating. Hold back half of urination to let the urine stop, and then continue urination after a short pause. Repeatedly. After a period of exercise, the muscle tension around the vagina increases and the vagina becomes narrower.
