The birth of a child is a deeply moving and, despite the pain, a wonderful moment in a woman's life. Nevertheless, it also brings with it physical changes that are not always easy to accept. One of the most common "problems" that women face after giving birth is the change in vaginal tissue and the effects on physical sensation. In this article, we will show you how the Viveve® method can make your vagina tighter again. Our experts in the Acura clinic in Weert are at your side with advice, action and discretion.
What effects do pregnancy and childbirth have on the vagina?
Hormonal changes modify the vagina
Having a baby can have a significant impact on the vagina, both during and after labour. During pregnancy, your body experiences hormonal changes that lead to an increase in blood flow in the pelvic area. This results in a temporary swelling of the vaginal walls and increased elasticity.
Childbirth stretches the vagina and affects the vaginal muscles
During natural childbirth, the vagina stretches considerably to allow the baby to pass through. This process can lead to injuries to the vaginal muscles - especially if the labour is difficult or prolonged.
Loss of collagen in the vaginal tissue
The strain during pregnancy and childbirth can not only affect the muscles, but can also lead to injuries to the vaginal tissue - including the connective tissue, which contains collagen. Collagen is an essential structural protein found in the connective tissue of the skin, muscles and other tissues (such as the vagina).
It is possible that the body does not produce enough collagen during the recovery and postnatal recovery phase. It is also common for the existing collagen to be persistently weakened by the stresses of pregnancy and childbirth. This can lead to a reduction in the structural support and elasticity of the vaginal tissue. This can cause the vagina to lose tone and firmness, which is known as vaginal laxity.
Vaginal condition after pregnancy and childbirth: what are the disadvantages for a woman?
Physical effects
- Sexual sensation
A looser vagina can impair the sensations during sexual intercourse. This is because it may offer less friction and therefore less stimulation during the act. - Incontinence
Weakened vaginal muscles can lead to a reduction in control over the pelvic floor muscles. The result of pelvic floor weakness is often incontinence (in varying degrees).
Psychological effects
- Self-esteem
Some women feel insecure or less attractive because of the changes. They often feel that their vaginal function is no longer what it was before pregnancy. - Sexual dissatisfaction
Reduced sexual satisfaction due to the altered sensations during sexual intercourse can have a negative impact on general well-being.
Tighten the vagina: Collagen build-up with the Viveve® method
Vaginal laxity essentially means that the vagina is less taut or tight than before. There are various treatment methods to counteract this problem. For example, those that aim to promote the production of collagen in the vaginal tissue are interesting. The Viveve® treatmentwhich we offer at our Acura clinic in Weert, is one such method. By stimulating collagen production, it attempts to tighten the vagina and improve general well-being in the intimate area.
The Viveve® treatment is a non-surgical method of vaginal rejuvenation. It is based on the application of radio wave energy, which we deliver into the tissue of your vaginal wall in a controlled manner. The radio wave energy heats the tissue of the vaginal wall and thereby stimulates the formation of new collagen. This is intended to tighten it and revitalise the tissue as a whole.
The treatment can be carried out quickly and usually only requires one session, which lasts around 30-45 minutes. We perform it on an outpatient basis at our Acura clinic in Weert. Compared to invasive surgical procedures, it is much less stressful. After treatment, many women report an improvement in vaginal tightness, sexual sensation and general well-being in the intimate area.
