Question 1

does the vagina feel looser after childbirth?

Accepted Answer

In many women yes: Because child birth does stretch it out and while it regains the majority of its former tightness , it is never quite the same after vaginal delivery, that is why many women have elective c-section now - to preserve the vagina from being stretched or from tearing  also vaginal delivery in many women can lead to vagina and uterine prolapse and urine incontinence later in life taha can be fixed.

Question 2

can the vagina return to normal after childbirth?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Barring trauma during birth the vaginal walls will contract to their normal condition.

Question 3

will my vagina remain stretched out after childbirth?

Accepted Answer

Probably not...: Probably not, your vagina will change from before you had children...But chances are it will not stay the same as when you were pregnant and delivering the baby. Generally speaking for most women, you will get close to normal about 6 weeks after a vaginal delivery.

Question 4

is air coming out of vagina after childbirth dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: You  need to see your provider to be sure. If you are talking about right after childbirth, the vagina was open and especially if you had a repair, may have some air that is coming out. If it has been a while (more than a few days), you may have a hole between your rectum and your vagina, which would need to be fixed at some point (sometimes we wait a few months to see if it will heal).

Question 5

i was wondering does the vagina deform after childbirth?

Accepted Answer

Probably: Childbirth is traumatic to the pelvic floor.  The vagina is very elastic and will return to near normal after delivery.  Some women have very little detrimental effect on the vagina and pelvic floor as a result of a vaginal delivery - others end up with significant utero-vaginal prolapse and eventually require surgical repair for the pelvic relaxation.

Question 6

do men notice a difference in a vagina's feel after childbirth?

Accepted Answer

Some do.: Every body is different which means that every vagina is different too. Some women feel a difference in how their body looks and feels after a baby.  I have a few women who come in and complain that their partners find it very different.  Most don't find it bad, just different.

Question 7

can sex be pleasurable months after a vagina tear from childbirth?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, it is just not the size of vaginal orifice, there are other nerve fiber which are involved in pleasure.

Question 8

can the vagina get tighter after its been loosened from childbirth?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal tightness: To tighten the vagina i suggest trying kiegel exercises which strengthen the pelvic diaphragm. There is an operation called vaginal rejuvenation which can accomplish the same thing surgically.

Question 9

is there a way to tighten my vagina after childbirth?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal rejuvenation: Yes, but i would think long and hard before doing it.  It's typically referred to as vaginal rejuvenation (as if your vagina needs rejuvenating) and involves surgery to tighten the introitus (vaginal opening) and, if necessary, correct loose or sagging walls.  It can lead to painful scarring and painful intercourse and is not recognized by the american congress of obgyns.

Multiple causes: Poor nutrition, smoking, too much sex or over sized dilators.  Genetically some peoples have weaker tissue.
