| Vaginal Surgery |
The vagina is a like a loose tube. It is suspended in the tummy by uterus above. It is further held in place by a set of muscles and fascia around it.A vaginoplasty is a surgical procedure that tightens the vagina. This is done by removing excess vaginal lining and tightening the surrounding soft tissues and muscles.
During delivery of a baby the vagina and surrounding tissues and muscles become stretched. After delivery the vagina may return to a more "normal" size, but it often fails to return to its' pre pregnancy diameter. Generally, the more vaginal deliveries, the worse the condition gets.
Many women will complain of decreased sensation and sexual satisfaction during intercourse. A loose vagina may interfere with the sexual pleasure to both the partners. Extreme of looseness will give rise to prolapse.. Kegel exercises are often recommended but rarely succeed in restoring vaginal tightness.
Vaginal tightening surgery will tighten the vagina and surrounding tissues yielding a vaginal tightness similar to before the patient had children. |
