A member asked:

Does childbirthing really loosen up the vaginal canal or it's just a myth?if it's true, is kegel exercise effective to tighten it again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes and Yes: Yes childbirth can stretch the vagina after multiple births especially if episiotomies or vaginal tears are not properly repaired. Kegel's exercises can at least improve the PC muscle at the vaginal opening, so that one can hold onto "what bumps in the night".
