Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Which is faster to recover between natural childbirth and Cesarean section? Can the vagina return to its original state after natural childbirth? If so, how long does it take for the vagina to recover? Does a Cesarean section not change the original size and elasticity of the vagina?Doctor's answer:
Hello, a cesarean section generally does not change the original size and elasticity of the vagina. Natural childbirth can affect the original size and elasticity of the vagina. The recovery is usually not very good. If you have had a cesarean section with your first child, it is best not to have a natural birth for the second child. During contractions, the pressure inside the uterus is very high, and a natural birth can easily lead to uterine rupture, which can endanger the lives of both the mother and the child. Therefore, it is best not to have a natural birth.
