Things About Your Vagina After Birth That Are Completely Normal 


After giving birth, a woman may go through a variety of physical changes. Puerperal (postpartum) bleeding, edema, and possible pain are a few of them. Changes in hormone levels can affect lubrication levels, and differences in vaginal color and elasticity are common. However since every woman's experience is different, any concerns or questions should be shared with a doctor for specific advice and guidance.

While I can provide information, it's important to note that individual experiences vary. Here are additional aspects that some women may find normal after childbirth:

While I can provide information, it's important to note that individual experiences vary. Here are additional aspects that some women may find normal after childbirth:


Changes in Odor: Hormonal shifts can alter vaginal odor temporarily.

Temporary Numbness: Some women may experience numbness in the perineal area.

Increased Sensitivity: The genital area might be more sensitive initially.

Vaginal Discharge Changes: The type and amount of discharge can vary.

You might rip in your vagina.

The question is not if you will feel hurt, but rather, how much soreness you will experience. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that ripping at the vaginal entrance occurs in more than 53% of deliveries. You may experience pain in your vagina and perineum for four to twelve weeks, depending on the extent of the tearing. Large rips may require sutures to close the wound after birth or, in extreme circumstances, surgery. You will have a perineum bruise even if you don't rip

Constipation: Frequently caused by things like hormone fluctuations and painkillers.

Hair Loss: Hormonal changes during childbirth may have an impact on hair development in different regions.

You can have fewer orgasms.

Once you resume having sex, you could notice that your postpartum orgasms are weaker. It's not all in your head. Weaker orgasms are a result of the same weakening pelvic floor that's producing leaking, which is another reason to continue doing Kegel exercises. Your orgasm should eventually return to its former, earth-shattering form.

Known as lochia, postpartum hemorrhage is a normal aspect of the healing process.

Swelling: Often brought on by trauma and increased blood flow during labor.

Discomfort: It's common to have soreness or pain.

Modifications in Lubrication: Vaginal moisture levels can be impacted by hormonal changes.

Tone and Elasticity Changes: The vagina may feel different after giving birth because of the stretching that occurs.

Hemorrhoids: Pressure during birth may be the cause.

Perineal Discomfort: Pain is frequently experienced in the region between the vagina and the nus.

Contractions: The uterus keeps shrinking until it reaches its pre-pregnancy dimensions.

Emotional Changes: Mood swings may be influenced by hormonal changes.

Stitches: You can have stitches if you have an episiotomy or tears.

Engorged Breasts: After giving birth, breast alterations are typical, even if they have nothing to do with the vagina.

Delayed Periods: If you're nursing, it may take some time for your menstruation to return.
