A loose vagina can also cause disease

In the past, people had many children, and most of them were born naturally, with "one baby for each leg". Giving birth was easy, but it "ruined" women - the girls who used to have slender waists like willows, after becoming mothers, had thicker waists and bigger buttocks, and even more embarrassingly, their "lower parts" became loose.

An old lady once complained to Li Qiang, director of the Department of Gynecology and Plastic Surgery at the Plastic Surgery Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, that sometimes when she exerted force on her abdomen, air would come out of her vagina like it was leaking air, which was very embarrassing. "Most middle-aged and elderly women who have had natural childbirth will have similar situations. However, influenced by traditional concepts, although they know that it affects their sex life, most of them do not pay much attention to it and do not know that there is any way to improve it." But sometimes, it really doesn't work to ignore it.

There was once an old lady who suffered from long-term stubborn constipation. She visited several departments including the anorectal department and tried all kinds of laxatives such as acupuncture and medication, but to no avail. Finally, a doctor reminded her that this was constipation caused by vaginal relaxation, and she could go to the plastic surgery department for a vaginal tightening surgery, which could also improve the quality of her sex life. Upon hearing this, the old lady, who was over 50 years old, blushed and got angry. What does this have to do with the vagina? And vaginal tightening? Isn't this just hooliganism?

In fact, these two places are quite closely related.

"The female vagina and large intestine are adjacent to each other front and back." Li Qiang spread out a diagram and explained to the reporter while gesturing. The main tissues that maintain the tightness of the vagina are the muscles and fascia of the pelvic floor, but vaginal delivery will damage the muscle fascia to varying degrees. Moreover, with age, the fascia slowly degenerates, muscle tension decreases, and the vagina becomes more loose. As a result, the rectal wall protrudes toward the vagina, occupying space and forming a rectal protrusion. Stool cannot pass downward easily and is trapped in this dead corner, thus causing chronic constipation.

Many elderly women with constipation feel a distended perineum but are unable to defecate. This is the reason.

Think about it, a loose vagina is like a house that has been in disrepair for a long time, it is loose and sagging, the load-bearing wall in the middle has become thinner, the house is not solid, and the room next door will naturally invade this side, and the furniture in the house will tilt and collapse. In addition to the rectum, the neighbor at the back, the urethra or bladder, the two neighbors in the front, will also bulge out to join in the fun, resulting in stress urinary incontinence. This is why older women often have trouble holding their urine when they sneeze, laugh or jump, which sometimes leads to difficulty urinating or recurrent urinary tract infections.

In fact, it is not difficult to solve this problem. Li Qiang said that a small incision is made at the perineum, and the torn fascia is sutured and tightened layer by layer to achieve the effect of tightening the front end of the vagina. This method of rebuilding the perineal muscle tension is a three-dimensional repair. Simply put, without damaging the vagina and rectum, the load-bearing wall between the two is repaired, the vagina is tightened, and it can basically be restored to its pre-delivery state. This not only solves the constipation problem, but also improves the quality of sex life, killing two birds with one stone.
