Experts warn: Birth incision can cause anatomical disorders

Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist Op. Dr. Sevtap Alkan shared the symptoms and treatment processes of vaginal enlargement, bowel and bladder prolapse.

“SURGICAL INTERVENTION IS CONDITION FOR 2nd AND 3rd DEGREE VAGINAL LASERATIONS”

“In normal delivery, we have to make a vaginal incision for the baby to be born healthy. During this incision, we also traumatize the arc-shaped muscle between the vaginal opening and the breech,“ said Op. Dr. Sevtap Alkan said, “As a result of the cutting of this muscle that provides pelvic support during birth, pelvic support also deteriorates. At the same time, sagging can occur in the bladder and intestines. Of course, it varies according to factors such as how many times this person gave birth, age, muscle structure, collagen structure, difficult or easy birth process. Patients may not feel these discomforts at their first birth, but after the 2nd and 3rd normal birth, they can understand with symptoms such as sexual problems with the partner, frequent urination, constipation, vaginal infections. Of course, the actual diagnosis can be made by physicians. Mild vaginal anatomical disorders can be corrected with laser, but surgical intervention is required for 2nd and 3rd degree disorders. Vaginal disorders that occur after birth can also be congenital. These genital disorders can be corrected with both surgical operations and laser treatment. The recovery period of this operation is also very fast.

“PATIENT WHO HAS THE OPERATION SHOULD NOT HAVE A NORMAL BIRTH AGAIN”

Sevtap Alkan, who underlined that patients who want to have a vaginal tightening operation must first complete the number of births, and if not, the next type of delivery should be cesarean section. Otherwise, the vaginal tightening operation will be meaningless, because we restore pelvic support to the pelvis with this vaginal tightening operation. „This operation is a radical permanent solution,“ he said.

“FEMALE MOTHERS DO NOT HAVE TO WEAK THEIR BABIES FOR THE OPERATION”

The average duration of breastfeeding for the mother is 1 to 1.5 years. The mother is also suitable for vaginal tightening like other operations during this breastfeeding period. Stating that breastfeeding mothers do not need to wean their babies for the operation, Op. Dr. Sevtap Alkan said:

“The healing of normal postpartum stitches is 2 to 4 weeks on average. Although there are some exercise and medication applications for pelvic support and vaginal recovery, it is very difficult for the mother to apply this in practice. It is argued by physicians that exercise and drug use are not effective. If patients feel insecure and aesthetically inadequate in their sexual life, they can have an optional vaginal tightening operation if they do not have any organic complaints. In this process, if the patient has urinary incontinence, intestinal problems, and infection complaints, the operation has become mandatory. Breastfeeding mothers do not need to wean their baby to have this operation. They can return to their daily work 3 days after the operation and to normal in their sexual life within 40 to 45 days.
