Overview:

Vaginal laxity or looseness is one of the common symptoms after childbirth. A majority of women deal with the issue in their daily lives. Often afraid to disclose or discuss the issue due to social taint.

The vaginal laxity or looseness arises due to the stretching of the vaginal canal during the birth of the baby. It can also happen after a c – section. The collagen layer of the vagina thins away with age and delivery.

Many patients are coming out with their concerns as a result of women’s empowerment and increased openness and readiness to discuss female intimate issues.

What Factors Contribute to Vaginal Laxity?

Vaginal laxity can occur for a variety of reasons, the most prevalent of which being childbirth and ageing.

Aging is a natural process. As we become older, we lose collagen fibres, which makes our skin and other tissues thinner and more prone to damage and rips. Menopause also leads to the aggravation of these symptoms.

During labour, the infant moves through the birth canal, causing the excessive stretching of the vaginal wall fibres and therefore looseness. It can even happen after a caesarean section.

The degree of vaginal laxity worsens as the frequency of childbirth increases.
