Giving birth has been granted to women by God Almighty with an incredible and miraculous reproductive function in order to continue the human race. Fertility and giving birth; While it provides the woman with the very valuable title of motherhood, on the other hand, it causes some permanent problems in the female body. Especially recurring and frequently intermittent pregnancies wear out the female body.
What are its effects on the breasts?
Both during pregnancy and after birth, breast tissue is under the influence of different hormonal increases. During pregnancy, the breast is prepared for breastfeeding with growth hormones, estrogen and prolactin hormones. Milk glands grow and mature. This condition occurs simultaneously as breast enlargement. Immediately after birth, under the influence of the oxytocin hormone, the breast gains the ability to secrete and flow out the milk it produces. The most important stimulator of the oxytocin hormone is the act of 'breastfeeding'. The breastfeeding process varies from mother to mother. However, breastfeeding for the first 6 months is strongly recommended for child health.
The effects of breastfeeding on the breast vary depending on the duration of breastfeeding as well as hormonal changes. Hormonal changes return to normal after my breastfeeding period ends. Three types of changes can be seen in the breasts after breastfeeding. 1- Growth (Hypertrophy), 2- Shrinkage, deflation (Atrophy, involution), 3- Loosening and sagging (ptosis), These negative changes on the breast, Breast Reduction (Reduction), Breast Augmentation (Mastopexy) or Breast Lift (Mastopexy) ) and combinations of these surgeries. These surgeries should be performed 6 months after stopping breastfeeding.
What are the effects of giving birth on the abdominal wall?
Especially repeated pregnancies cause the abdominal wall to expand and sag permanently. Uncontrolled weight gain during pregnancy and being less active during this process are the most important factors that increase sagging.
At this point, it is necessary to mention the effect of cesarean section or normal birth on the abdominal wall. In a normal birth; The uterus, which has expanded up to 40 times its own volume, contracts violently under the influence of the oxytocin hormone and pushes the baby outwards. This contraction also occurs after birth. Its action continues for a while and the uterus returns to its previous state. Birth by Caesarean section does not allow the uterus to contract and recover under the influence of oxytocin. In addition, the direct cutting of the abdominal muscles restricts the mother's active movements for a certain period of time. For this reason, it should be expected that there will be more looseness and sagging in the lower abdomen after cesarean section.
These negative changes in the abdominal area can be corrected by Liposuction, Mini and Full Abdominoplasty surgeries.
What are the Effects of Giving Birth on the Genital Organs?
Negative effects on genital organs are more common in women who give birth vaginally and more than once. The most important complaint in these women is vaginal enlargement; While it reduces the quality of sexual intercourse, it can cause serious incompatibility and problems between partners. However, deterioration in the appearance of the female genital organ and sagging of the inner and outer lips are other permanent changes.
