Why does the vagina become loose after giving birth?

Patient's question:

After giving birth, does it become loose? I feel my vagina is quite loose now, and I don't know if it's because of giving birth to my baby.

Doctor's answer:

After giving birth, the birth canal will naturally become loose due to the child's pushing. This is a normal phenomenon. As long as there is no organ prolapse, it generally does not interfere with sexual life, so there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended that you practice kegel exercises daily and engage in more pelvic floor muscle contractions. Also, pay close attention to maintaining good hygiene in the perineum area. Since a loose vagina is more prone to bacterial infections, special attention should be given.
