For women who have given birth naturally, because the vagina is the passage for the delivery of the fetus, the diameter of the baby's head is generally about 10 cm. That means the vagina needs to expand to 10 cm during delivery. The normal vaginal diameter is 2.5 cm. After the child is squeezed, the head diameter will be about 10 cm. The vagina is significantly dilated, the muscles and hymen marks are completely destroyed, and the elasticity is significantly reduced.
