If they don't stretch out, then why do some doctors offer complimentary tightening surgery on postpartum mothers?

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

Weirdly, it's actually the same reason that banks used to refuse to let single women have credit cards

Ouch. That is so fucked up. I am older and have been structurally tight (skin too tight at opening) sex hurts when it goes on too long. The "husband stitch" is abusive. And doctors do it because they do episiotomy, which is also awful because that cut doesn't heal as well as a repaired natural tear and you might not tear at all.

Complimentary tightening surgery my ass. That doesn't help mothers at all.

Rehab with kegels does help and obviously if you tear, a repair. The midwife recommended working up to fisting before having a baby and man I wish I had taken that advice.

But being tight right at the opening of the vagina just hurts, there is no advantage to it.

Because infants are larger than penises. Hope this helps!

Seriously Jenna.. get it together

I don't know, but I read that vinegar not only clears any bad smells but also tightens it up.

I don't think you know what you're talking about or your fellow downvoters. I read that in a reputable publication over well about three decades back and I take their word over some naysayer online with no backup information or sources.

Not only that but I've had women tell me it's true that vinegar cleans smells and tightens the area. You are not a reputable source.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

When it comes to women's health advice, I think modern naysayers are more reputable than any source was in the 1900s

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

I read this in the late 90s. And I'm still siding with them over some bandwagon jumper on her off the fucking internets. You're not a reliable source. Someone else said something that sounded authoritative so perhaps nevertheless.

Also I don't give a shit. I was just sharing what I read from an authoritative source, you can piss all the way off.

This ..line of thinking is why my step father wouldnt let me or my sister shower while on the rag in our teens. He had some old ass info, ignored doctors, and me and my sister suffered at the hands of his misinformation. He wouldnt even buy us tampons or pads and we used paper towels. I have no idea why he said we couldnt shower while having a period. The man was a fool and now lives in isolation. anyway..

ita okay to be wrong, but its not okay to spread that info. it can harm women.

I shared something I read from a reputable Source at the time that was confirmed by other people that I had talked to, you say it's wrong whatever it's wrong.

There's a nice way to correct somebody if you think they're wrong.

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

tell me the source!?

Willful ignorance isnt cute

[-] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I already went through this with somebody that was not insulting me personally. I don't care what you think.

[-] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Youre not right about this. Im sorry. Some women do douche, but most doctors will advise against using anything like this. Mild soap externally is all that is recomended by most Obgyns.

This info you have is old wives tales, not modern science.
