"I pushed a woman who touched my pregnant belly" (@theaveragewifeau)
With all due respect to nature and what it knows how to do, to produce a living being through the body, to give birth to it alone and even to recover from the complex situation that the woman's body goes through, is a huge task.
However, it has consequences, and women need extra attention to recognize and treat conditions that remain after childbirth, in the condition of the vaginal system and the pelvic floor.
During childbirth, vaginal stretching occurs as a result of the baby's passage through the birth canal.
Factors such as the size of the baby, the number of births, the type of birth (vacuum, forceps and also caesarean section), will affect the amount of stretching that varies from one birth to another.
"The vaginal 'birth excesses' include, among other things: loosening of the pelvic floor, changes in the appearance of the vagina, urinary incontinence at various frequencies, unusual dryness in the vagina, itching, discomfort, and even pain during intercourse as a result of unsuccessful suturing and scarring," explains Dr. Fani Bar Levy, senior gynecologist and pioneer in the field of aesthetic-medical vaginal treatments.

Incontinence
Urinary incontinence is common among 1 out of every 3 women and childbirth is actually the main cause of the phenomenon of urinary incontinence at young ages.
During childbirth, the vagina expands and loosens, and during the period of childbirth and recovery, the vagina shrinks and returns to its previous dimensions, or as close to them as possible, and thus as a result of the birth process, the pelvic floor area weakens, and the medical muscles find it difficult to maintain urinary restraint, and this is where the problem of the difficulty of holding back to the point of leakage begins urine.
For years, urinary incontinence was considered a phenomenon that characterizes adult women, but this is not the case, and it is a common phenomenon among young women after giving birth.
This is a problem that affects daily life, social life, personal life, marital life and more.
How are you treated?
The innovative solutions today combine radio wave or laser treatments, for vaginal rehabilitation using advanced equipment, to strengthen the vaginal mucosa after childbirth.
The treatments are based on heating the muscle tissues that control the activity of the bladder in order to encourage their regeneration.
Vaginal injections of botulinum toxin - a short and easy temporary treatment - causes a delay in the contraction of the bladder muscle.
Weakening the bladder muscle reduces the involuntary contractions, and consequently prevents urinary incontinence.

Vaginal discomfort: dryness and itching
Many women experience general vaginal discomfort after childbirth, such as persistent itching, vaginal dryness, general discomfort.
All of these are mainly caused by the violation of the balance of the good bacterial population in the vagina and the flora of the vagina.
Besides this, of course, the very passage of the baby through the birth canal causes the stretching of the vaginal mucosa, a change in the position of the pelvic bones, the muscle fibers and more.
If for some women everything returns to normal, then for a significant part changes occur that do not return to the original state.
Changing the appearance of the vagina
Along with internal changes of the vagina, there is also the external change, which means that sometimes the visual of the vagina changes and does not return to its original state.
The stretching of the skin and the baby's passage through the birth canal sometimes leaves the inner and outer lips in a depleted state.
The contraction process of the woman's organs after childbirth, including the uterus and vagina, leaves the lips with a depleted appearance in some cases.
The external change in the appearance of the vagina has consequences for the woman's self-confidence and her sense of intimate comfort.
How are you treated?
Firming treatments:
these treatments are performed using energy-based technological equipment such as laser and radio waves combined with micro-needling.
These have the ability to produce the process of shrinking the tissue through heating, and this is actually how the process of shrinking and firming is carried out.
Labia reduction surgery (labioplasty):
Surgical operation performed with different techniques to correct the appearance of the vulva.
This is the fastest growing surgery in the last decade all over the world.
At the same time, it is a surgery for everything, and the decision regarding it should be considered and not reckless or subject to trends.

Pain during intercourse
One of the regular complaints among women after giving birth is pain during intercourse.
The main reason lies precisely in imprecise sewing, which causes poor-quality scarring.
The scar later causes pain during sexual intercourse and sometimes also when performing physical activity, and hence the short path to harming the marital and personal quality of life.
How are you treated?
Hyaluronic acid injections are intended for the vagina - the treatment is designed to improve the function of the vagina and prevent pain and discomfort during sexual intercourse, or during sports activities.
This is an easy and safe treatment, which allows the scar to be refined and gives immediate improvement.
