How to Prevent Vaginal Relaxation? Let’s Start with Pelvic Floor Muscles

Dear postpartum moms, today, Sheyera would like to share an important topic with you: how to prevent vaginal relaxation. Is vaginal relaxation caused by pelvic floor muscle weakness? Many people often believe these two are the same, but the relationship between them is not as simple as it seems.

1. Understanding the Pelvic Floor Muscles and the Vagina

The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles, like a spring mattress, located at the base of the pelvis. They quietly and diligently work to support key physiological functions in a woman’s body. Often, in women’s health, people mistake “pelvic floor muscle weakness” and “vaginal relaxation” as the same issue. Although closely related, they are not identical.

From a medical perspective, the pelvic floor muscles support essential organs such as the bladder, uterus, and rectum, control urination, defecation, and even sexual satisfaction. This group of muscles contracts and relaxes to perform these tasks. Strong pelvic floor muscles not only tighten the vagina but also enhance sexual response and satisfaction.

The vagina is a fibrous muscular canal that connects the external genitalia to the uterus, and its elasticity and tightness partly depend on the support of the pelvic floor muscles.

2. The Connection Between Pelvic Floor Weakness and Vaginal Relaxation

Pelvic floor muscle weakness is not just caused by childbirth but can also result from factors like obesity, chronic coughing, and constipation, all of which increase abdominal pressure.

With age, pelvic floor strength naturally declines, which can lead to Pelvic Floor Dysfunction (PFD), one symptom of which is vaginal relaxation. This condition can manifest in various ways, including a reduction in sexual satisfaction, urinary incontinence, and even vaginal prolapse.

Some common causes of vaginal relaxation include:

• Childbirth: During delivery, the pelvic floor muscles can stretch or tear, leading to both pelvic floor and vaginal relaxation.
• Menopause: The decline in estrogen can cause vaginal tissues to thin and lose elasticity, contributing to a wider vaginal diameter.
• Obesity and Heavy Lifting: These activities increase pressure on the pelvic floor, accelerating muscle relaxation.

While pelvic floor weakness and vaginal relaxation may occur simultaneously, they are distinct issues. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can help correct vaginal relaxation.

3. How to Prevent Pelvic Floor Weakness and Vaginal Relaxation

01- Kegel Exercises

Kegel exercises are a simple and effective way to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. This exercise involves contracting, holding, and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. Regular practice can significantly improve muscle tone and function.

02- Lifestyle Adjustments

• Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight reduces pressure on the pelvic floor.
• Avoid Heavy Lifting: Prolonged standing or lifting can strain the pelvic floor muscles.
• Balanced Diet: A diet rich in protein and collagen supports muscle and skin elasticity.

03- Electrical Stimulation with Biofeedback

Electrical stimulation can help regulate neuromuscular function. For those with weak pelvic floor muscles, electrical stimulation aids in passive muscle contraction. This technique is particularly helpful for women who struggle to perform Kegel exercises independently, allowing them to regain control over their pelvic muscles gradually.
