Does a vaginal birth after a second pregnancy cause vaginal relaxation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If you have a natural birth for the second child, there may be some impact. You can perform postpartum vaginal tightening exercises after giving birth, which can help with vaginal recovery. When the baby passes through the birth canal, it expands the vagina, which may lead to vaginal relaxation. There's no need to worry too much.
