Vaginoplasty

After giving birth, it is normal for women to complain about vaginal laxity- the separating of muscles and stretching of the tissues are known to cause this. This lack of tone in the vagina -sometimes to the point of tampons falling- can understandably contribute to sexual dysfunction. Today, a lot of women with this issue get a vaginoplasty to tighten their vaginas.

If vaginoplasty is a procedure you are considering as well, read on; you will be able to find all the information you need on the subject in this article.

What is Vaginoplasty?

Vaginoplasty, also known as posterior colporrhaphy, is an operation that aims to tighten up the vagina. It brings together the separated muscles in the vagina, and the extra mucosa skin from the back of the vagina is removed during the procedure. For a more aesthetic look, the external skin can also be removed.

Once it is decided how much tightening is going to be needed, a wedge is marked in order to delineate the excess skin that is to be removed. Under the skin, the tissues are tightened with sutures. After the tightening of the vaginal canal, the mucosal skin is closed.

Many people prefer vaginoplasty to be done under general anesthesia, but it can also be performed under local anesthesia. Vaginoplasty can be used to treat certain medical issues, such as vaginal injury related to childbirth or complications from pelvic floor disease. After vaginoplasty, the patient has a tighter vaginal canal, which may help increase sexual pleasure during intercourse. Although, it should be still mentioned that tightening the vaginal tissue with surgical operation cannot guarantee enhanced sexual pleasure.

Who Can Get a Vaginoplasty?

You can consider getting a vaginoplasty if you;

• Want to repair childbirth defects or other injuries, in order to improve sexual function,
• If you were born with congenital abnormalities that affect your vagina’s development,
• If you need vaginal reconstruction- this may be after undergoing radiation, or excision of vagina to treat certain conditions, such as cancer.

Vaginoplasty Recovery

After getting vaginal surgery, patients may have a down time for a week or two. They may feel an ache for the first couple of days, and they should not use a tampon or have intercourse for two months. Some patients may be instructed to use dilators- this depends on the amount of tightening performed on the vagina.
