Perineal And Vaginal Health

Every mother needs to be educated on her perineal and vaginal health after giving birth. It is so sad that most mothers give birth and experience so many issues regarding their vagina, and are not given any education or resources on it until they reach back out to their doctor!

How about we talk about perineal and vaginal health? Learn all about it below!

What Is the Perineum?

Do you know where your perineum is found? Why is it important to understand regarding your postpartum health? How do you best care for your perineum?

Let’s talk about what your perineum is and where it can be found.

The perineum is the thin piece of skin that is between your vagina and anal canal. It helps bodily functions such as peeing, pooping, sex, and giving birth. It contains several nerve endings that help with sexual arousal.

Another super important function of the perineum is that it supports the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support your bladder, colon, and reproductive organs. If your pelvic floor muscles are weak, those organs can “sink” or “bulge” out of the body. This is called a prolapse and needs medical attention.

Preventing And Caring For Perineal Tearing

This is definitely a topic I wish I knew more about before and after giving birth! I suffered from a 3rd, almost 4th degree tear. Four years later, I am still suffering from the consequences of that tearing! Because of that bad tear, I have scar tissue inside my vagina. Additionally, my pelvic floor muscle is super weak. Having a weak pelvic floor can lead to all sorts of health issues such as involuntary peeing, increased risk of hemorrhoids, and organ prolapse. You can learn more about the pelvic floor in my article What Is the Pelvic Floor.

When people tell you, “It’s better to tear during labor than getting an episiotomy,” what are they actually saying? If you have a small tear, you may not need stitches and your body can heal by itself! That is ideal and what people are referring to when they advice to tear. If you get an episiotomy, your perineum will be cut and need stitches. If you do tear, what are you suppose to do about it after delivery? How do you care for that part of your body and help it heal on the inside? This topic will be discussed in greater detail in my article Perineal Tears: Prevention And Care.

Vaginal Health Postpartum

Your vagina is a super incredible part of your body. It can stretch wide enough to bring a baby into the world, and it shrinks back to its original size to help support your pelvic floor!
