i need answers too.. How can it expand so much to allow a babys shoulder to pass through and then get soo small enough to wrap a diick?
Re: How Does The Vagina Heal Back After Birth (photo) by Nobody: 9:29pm On May 28, 2017
Yes I heard in most cases during childbirth, the vagina tears all the way to the anus and sometimes it is induced by the doctor to allow the baby's fat head to come out. Mehn, thinking about this alone makes me cringe and consider going through CS for all my deliveries.

The vagina dilates to 10cm during childbirth and it's hella elastic and stretches out to accommodate or to push out the baby.

The vagina is an elastic passage for birth,
The birthing process is controlled by hormones
The cervix which is the end of the vagina and the beginning of the uterus Ooen for the passage of the baby. The hormone allows for the opening of the cervix and the expansion of the vagina for passage of the baby
God is great!

I believe this article will clear the confusion and answer the questions

HOW THE VAGINA IS MADE FOR CHILDBIRTH
Though it’s hard to imagine, a baby really is able to make his way through the birth canal and out the vaginal opening. Your body is made to do this! In fact, it’s been preparing for this moment since the beginning of your pregnancy by releasing these pregnancy hormones:

Estrogen, which increases blood flow to the folds of the vagina so that this elastic connective tissue is better able to expand and stretch during childbirth as you push.
Relaxin, which helps your body to relax and loosen the ligaments and joints in your pelvis so it’s able to expand and create space for your baby to make his grand entrance.
VAGINAL STRETCHING DURING BIRTH
Just how much vaginal stretching you experience depends on many variables, including:

The size of your baby
Your genetics
Whether or not you did pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy to tone those muscles in advance of childbirth
The circumstances of the birth (how long you pushed and whether forceps or vacuum extraction were used, to name the most common factors)
How many deliveries you’ve had before (meaning how toned or previously stretched your vaginal opening already is — each progressive birth will likely stretch your vagina a tiny bit more)
If you have a vaginal delivery and the perineum does not tear:
You can expect to feel sore and uncomfortable immediately after delivery. Even if your perineum was left intact during baby’s arrival, the area has still been stretched and bruised. Most women tend to feel some mild to not-so-mild vaginal discomfort for about three to five weeks. The pain may be worse when you cough or sneeze, and you may even find it hurts to sit down for a few days — but the pain should dissipate with each passing day.

If the perineum tears during delivery or you have an episiotomy:
You’ll feel sore and experience some burning due to the laceration (which usually requires stitches). The wound will take about seven to 10 days to heal and may be tender for several weeks, so try to take it easy if you can. If the stitches heal easily, you should expect the pain to be gone within six weeks. Learn more about tears and lacerations here.

If you have a Cesarean section:
If you don’t push beforehand, you shouldn’t expect any stretching of the vagina after birth. If, however, you push before the C-section, the baby puts a lot of pressure on your perineum, cervix and entire vaginal area (and your practitioner will be stretching and massaging the perineum to help open the pathway). So your vagina may very well get strained as you push — especially if you’ve succeeded in getting the baby close to crowning — and you may experience some vaginal stretching and discomfort post-delivery. But if the baby’s head never makes its way through the vaginal opening, stretching should be minimal.

No matter how your birth went down, your doctor will likely tell you to hold off on sex until about six weeks post-birth — though your practitioner may give you the green light sooner or later than that. You’ll also need to avoid inserting tampons (or any other foreign object) until you’ve had your six-week postpartum appointment with your practitioner and she’s determined that you’re completely healed. Doing so before the vaginal area has healed could cause an infection. In the meantime, try these tips to relieve postpartum perineal pain.

WILL YOUR VAGINA EVER BE THE SAME?
The million-dollar question every woman wants to know: “Will my vagina be the same after birth?” Though this may not be quite what you want to hear, the answer is: not exactly. But it may be very close! One of the great things about the vagina is that it has not only the elasticity to expand but also the capacity to recoil. Though an obstetrician or midwife will be able to tell that you’ve had a vaginal delivery by doing a physical exam (they are trained to be able to spot this, after all!), you may not feel (or see) any difference. Depending on how much it was stretched, the vaginal opening may return to a point very close to its original structure given enough time and pelvic floor exercises.

Will your partner notice? Unless you experience a major birth trauma (such as a third- or fourth-degree tear to the outer vagina), your partner shouldn't notice much of a difference. In fact, some couples find that having a baby makes them feel closer so that they enjoy sex even more.

WHAT YOU CAN DO TO GET YOUR VAGINA BACK AFTER BIRTH
The best way your vagina rebounds from birth is to start doing pelvic floor (Kegel) exercises during pregnancy to keep the muscles in that area as toned and taut as possible. It may help you avoid tearing during delivery — and it will certainly make it easier for those muscles to bounce back post-delivery. Perineal massage the month before your due date helps too.

Once you give birth, start doing your Kegels again as soon as you’re comfortably able — it’s the best way to get your vagina back as close to its pre-birth shape and size as possible. Kegels strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor, help resolve postpartum urinary incontinence (an issue one in three women experience after delivery) and make sex more pleasurable (once your practitioner gives you the all-clear to get intimate, that is!).

For the best results, do Kegels five minutes a day, three times a day during pregnancy and after birth. If that seems like too much of a hassle, simply do Kegels any opportunity you have — while sitting and breastfeeding or while checking email. The effort will be worth your while. If you want to take it a step further, you may want to check out vaginal exercisers, devices that help you do Kegel exercises.

No matter what measures you take, rest assured that your vagina was built to handle childbirth and be up and in business again soon.

There's a genetic and cellular mechanism in the body termed apoptosis also know as programmed cell death, therefore helping in the involution of the uterus and the decrease in the vaginal lumen and this is in synergy with the propensity of the Vagina to be somewhat elastic.
