How to recover quickly after a normal birth

For most pregnant women, cesarean section and natural birth are their main considerations when choosing the method of delivery. Compared with caesarean section, children and pregnant women born naturally tend to have stronger physical fitness and better resistance and immunity, so natural birth is also the way most expectant mothers choose to welcome their baby. However, normal childbirth can also cause certain damage to the female vagina. So, how can we recover faster after normal childbirth?

How to recover quickly after a normal birth, mainly the recovery of the vagina

The vagina itself has a certain repair function, and the expansion phenomenon that occurs after delivery can be restored within 3 months after delivery. But after all, the muscles in the vagina are damaged by squeezing and tearing, so it takes a longer time for the vaginal elasticity to recover. Postpartum mothers can use some methods to enhance elasticity recovery and promote vaginal firming.

Method 1: Exercise

1. Hold your urine: During the urination process, consciously hold your urine for a few seconds to interrupt urination, and then continue urinating after a short pause. Repeating this process for a period of time can increase the tension of the muscles around the vagina.

2. Anal lifting exercises: When you feel the urge to defecate, hold your stool and do anal lifting exercises. Repeating this exercise frequently can help train your pelvic muscles.

3. Contraction exercise: Lie on your back, relax your body, gently insert a finger into the vagina, then contract the vagina and clamp it for 3 seconds, then relax, and repeat several times. The time can be gradually increased.

4. Other exercises: When walking, consciously tighten the inner side of the big toe and perineum muscles, then relax and repeat the exercise.

Through these daily exercises, the tension of the pelvic muscles and the muscles around the vagina can be greatly improved, which helps restore the elasticity of the vagina and is helpful for sexual life. In addition to restorative exercises, postpartum mothers should also ensure that they take in essential nutrients to ensure muscle recovery.

Method 2: Surgery

Every mother's situation is different, and their physical recovery is also different. Some mothers do not get enough rest or are too tired. Even with exercise, their vaginal recovery is not satisfactory, which affects their sexual life. In this case, surgery can be used to repair it. When you feel that your vagina is severely loose and affects your sexual life, you might as well try vaginal plastic surgery.

Vaginal repair surgery, also known as vaginal tightening, is a very common gynecological plastic surgery abroad. China has also launched this type of service in recent years. This is a minor operation and will have no negative impact on future pregnancy and childbirth. However, when choosing a medical institution, mothers should choose a large regular hospital for surgery to ensure the effectiveness of the surgery.

Vaginal tightening surgery is actually a very small operation in genital plastic surgery. It is simple to operate and can be completed under local anesthesia. It does not require hospitalization. The quality of sexual life will be significantly improved after the operation. Patients only need to go to the hospital for relevant preoperative examinations during the non-menstrual period, especially gynecological examinations, and have the surgery within 7-10 days after the menstrual period. They can resume normal married life after two months.

Risks of surgery

Complications of vaginal tightening surgery include vaginal bleeding, vesicovaginal fistula, and vaginal-rectal fistula. The causes of complications are not only related to the individual differences of the mother, but also to the doctor's technical level. Surgery to restore the vagina is only chosen as a last resort.

Surgery-related matters

Time of operation: The operation should be performed away from the menstrual period, and it is best to choose the first day after the menstruation ends. Preoperative preparation: No special preparation is required before surgery.

Postoperative precautions: You will generally stay in the hospital for 2 days for observation after the operation. The doctor will do all the disinfection work for you to prevent wound infection. After returning home, pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum; rest for about 1 week; avoid sexual intercourse within 3 months after the operation.

Vaginal tightening surgery carries the risk of infection, and you will need to take antibiotics and other medications to fight infection after the surgery.

Method 3: Drug method

Vaginal tightening with medication

There are some vaginal tightening products on the market. The principle is to apply some drug ingredients (or certain chemical substances) inside the vagina to cause contraction of the vaginal tissue.

The advantage of this product is that it works quickly, but the disadvantage is that it is effective while you are taking it, but once you stop taking it, vaginal relaxation will return, which means that the effect is not long-lasting. Moreover, the use of drugs often causes certain harm to the human body.

Vaginal tightening injection

Vaginal tightening liquid injection method, this method uses some liquid to make the vaginal tissue necrotic and scab, thereby creating a tightening feeling. It is currently difficult to find relevant records of this method in textbooks. Therefore, patients should choose carefully.

Pharmaceutical filling

Filling method, the materials used are some colloidal biological agents, such as Ingelfarin, Omnidin, etc. Because the vaginal wall is rich in blood supply, the tissue swells during injection and the amount of medicine filled in is very small, so there is the disadvantage of uneven elasticity of the vaginal wall after injection. Also, because these objects cannot fuse with the human body, although there is no rejection, they are unstable and the long-term effect is not very good.
