Vaginal laxity means that the tissues of the vaginal wall or the supporting ligaments and diaphragms of the pelvic cavity are unable to maintain their original tight structure for some reason, such as the bags under the eyes of the elderly or the loose forehead cortex, which appears to be sagging. . Let’s take a look at what vaginal relaxation is all about.

Reasons for female vaginal relaxation

1. For women after the age of 30, the vagina will change with age and the slow aging of the body. Due to long-term use and frequent stretching, the vagina will become loose and wide, the irritation response will decrease, and the vaginal wall exudate will decrease. At this time, If you have sex more frequently, it will really cause the vagina to gradually relax and affect the quality of sexual life of both parties.

2. The most common cause of vaginal relaxation is mostly caused by childbirth. For women who choose natural delivery, the fetus is delivered vaginally, and the diameter of the head of a generally born baby is about 10 centimeters, that is, the vagina expands to more than 4 times during delivery. After the vagina is squeezed when the child is born, the vagina expands significantly, and the muscles and hymen marks were completely destroyed, and the elasticity of the vagina began to weaken. Although some women have a caesarean section, the pelvic muscles and ligaments of the woman's body will be fully extended during labor to prepare for the birth of the baby, so even if the baby is delivered by caesarean section, the vagina will still be loose.

3. Women who have had multiple abortions or medical abortions will also have their vaginas become loose. In the early stages of pregnancy, the vaginal and pelvic muscles of women have begun to relax. During artificial abortion and medical abortion, the elasticity of the vagina weakens after expansion, and the tissue that cannot be discharged after surgery remains in the vaginal folds and posterior fornix, stretching the vaginal wall.

4. People with chronic diseases, weak constitution, and weight loss have loose muscles, fascia, ligaments and other structures, which further aggravates vaginal relaxation. Nowadays, many women regard thinness as beauty. Some even go on a diet in order to lose weight, and some exercise too much, which may lead to sagging of the lower body.

What are the dangers of vaginal laxity in women?

The normal vagina has a diameter of 2.5 cm and a length of about 8 cm. There are many muscles and ligaments around the vagina to maintain a certain tension. There are also many folds on the mucosa of the vaginal wall, which can increase friction during sex and create pleasure for both parties. . Patients with vaginal laxity have weakened muscles, loose ligaments, and reduced mucosal folds. Vaginal laxity is a major reason for the decrease or even disappearance of sexual pleasure.

Those with mild vaginal laxity are prone to vaginal infection and have less sensation during sexual intercourse; those with moderate vaginal laxity are prone to frequent urination; those with severe vaginal laxity are prone to constipation and incomplete defecation.

The relationship between vaginal relaxation and mode of delivery

There are many reasons for postpartum vaginal laxity. The fetus is too large (macrosomia), causing birth trauma during natural delivery; mid-term induction of labor causes vaginal damage; multiple deliveries; lack of exercise after delivery; blind weight loss during the puerperium, not paying attention to nutrition, or being too tired This in turn leads to poor recovery of the pelvic muscles and so on.

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.

But it is not only natural childbirth that causes vaginal relaxation. During labor, the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic cavity will be fully extended to prepare the birth canal for the birth of the baby. Therefore, even if a cesarean section is performed, vaginal relaxation will occur.
