Vaginal Laxity

What is vaginal laxity?

Many women experience vaginal laxity after childbirth, which can impact self-confidence. Vaginal laxity is when a woman’s vaginal canal loses its ability to stretch back to its original shape, leaving the vagina feeling wider and more “loose”. This new body can make a woman self-conscious with herself and it can even be uncomfortable to wear certain clothing.

How can vaginal laxity affect one’s life?

Vaginal laxity can directly affect a woman’s self-esteem and positive body image as her body has gone through a dramatic change. She often feels as though her body no longer looks or functions the same way it once did. She may avoid certain clothing items like leggings or other tight fitting clothing.

When a woman isn’t happy with how her body appears, it can cause emotional distress as well. Dr. Guerette is aware that vaginal laxity impacts a woman’s emotions, relationships, and body image and he works his hardest to restore each of these areas of her life.
