Patient's question:
During delivery, it was a normal birth, but my baby was quite chubby at that time, making the birth quite difficult, so it took a long time for the delivery to finally occur. At first, I didn't pay much attention, but later I noticed that there was no sensation during intimacy with my husband, and he said it was due to relaxation. However, even after so much time has passed, there hasn't been any significant recovery. What could be the reason for this?What kind of help is needed: How can vaginal relaxation be addressed to make the vagina tighter?
Doctor's answer:
During labor, as the fetal head enters the pelvis, it compresses the pelvic floor fascia and muscles, as well as the associated supportive structures. Additionally, the ligaments that support the uterus are also subjected to significant stretching. If the labor process is not smooth, and if forceps or other assisted delivery methods are used, the pelvic floor fascia and muscles may be completely torn, and the ligaments supporting the uterus may become. It is recommended that you first perform pelvic floor muscle exercises or exercises to strengthen the pelvic muscles. Alternatively, you can visit a pelvic floor rehabilitation center at the hospital for physical therapy treatment, which can help stabilize the condition of vaginal relaxation.
