Will a normal birth affect the couple's future life? How to prevent vaginal relaxation after a normal birth

When it comes to the way of giving birth to a baby, many people prefer natural birth. After all, this is the law of nature. However, during the process of natural birth, excessive force and other reasons may cause harm to the pregnant woman, but in theory it will not cause vaginal relaxation. The main reason for vaginal relaxation is that women will self-regulate their bodies in order to give birth to a baby naturally. They need to take good care of themselves after delivery and do appropriate preventive exercises to recover.

Will a normal birth affect the couple's future life?

Natural childbirth will not affect the couple's future life:

Whether it is a natural birth or a caesarean section, there will be vaginal relaxation. This is caused by the body preparing for the birth of the baby, but it is only temporary and will recover after a period of time.

How long after giving birth can you start having sex?

Generally speaking, you can start having sex 6-8 weeks after a normal birth, but you must wait until the lochia is completely discharged and the wound is healed before you can have sex, otherwise it is easy to cause infection and wound rupture. Because each mother has a different physique and recovery situation, it is best to go to the hospital for a reexamination and get the doctor's consent before starting sex.

Tips: I hope mothers will think more about their own health. There are many ways to solve the problem of sexual intercourse, but the health of mother and baby is the most important!

What should you pay attention to during sex after a normal birth?

1. Pay attention to hygiene

Before starting sexual intercourse after a normal birth, both men and women should carefully clean their genitals and vulva. The mother should also wash after sexual intercourse to prevent bacterial infection.

2. Be gentle

Sexual intercourse after a normal birth is usually performed when the perineum and vagina have just healed and recovered, and the new tissue is still relatively tender, so the husband must be patient, gentle, and avoid being rough.

3. You can use some safe lubricants

If the mother's vagina is dry during sexual intercourse after a normal birth, she can use some safe lubricants to help improve her sexual life.

4. Use condoms to prevent pregnancy

Some mothers who have a normal birth begin to ovulate before their menstruation resumes, so they should take good contraceptive measures. The interval between two pregnancies should preferably be more than one and a half to two years. And breastfeeding mothers should try to use condoms for contraception, as the drugs may enter the breast milk and affect the baby.

5. Keep the mother’s nipples clean

After sexual intercourse, the mother's nipples must be kept clean to avoid affecting the baby's breastfeeding.

6. Stop immediately if you feel uncomfortable

If you feel uncomfortable during sexual intercourse, stop immediately to avoid causing unnecessary harm to the mother after a normal delivery.

How to prevent vaginal relaxation after normal delivery

After a normal birth, pelvic floor exercises and Kegel exercises are good ways to prevent vaginal relaxation. They can exercise the pelvic floor muscles, increase the tension of related muscles, increase elasticity, and help the vagina recover better.

Anal levator exercise:

The levator ani exercise refers to regularly lifting and contracting the anus, and then relaxing it. You can do it while standing, sitting, or walking. Do the levator ani exercise about 50 times each time, and continue for 5-10 minutes.

Kegel exercises:

Stand up, cross your hands over your shoulders, point your toes at 90 degrees, and squeeze your heels as wide as your armpits. Hold for five seconds, then relax. Repeat this action more than 20 times.

What to do if vaginal relaxation occurs after childbirth

1. Vaginal relaxation after normal delivery can generally recover on its own after 3 months, especially in young women, who basically return to the standard before normal delivery.

2. After a normal birth, perform pelvic floor exercises and Kegel exercises every day to assist in recovery.

3. Due to age, personal constitution and other reasons, some mothers’ recovery is not ideal, and even through anal lifting exercises and Kegel exercises they still cannot reach the ideal level. At this time, vaginal repair surgery may be necessary to solve the problem.
