Close: preventing the leakage of urine, gases or feces.
Complement: Help improve sexual, digestive and during childbirth functions, through force and contraction.

In the case of the vagina, the fact is added that during childbirth it undergoes a great distension that breaks many connective and muscular fibers that are not fully repaired and that does not recover its original shape and size.
