This is the surgical procedure
for vaginal relaxation, which occurs when the vaginal supports
lose their tone, strength and control.
The vagina becomes
quite roomy and slack, as its supporting muscles and tissues
have become stretched and torn during childbirth. Unfortunately,
it does not usually return to its pre-pregnancy state and
Kegel's pelvic floor exercises do not always help. Thus,
the vagina is no longer at its best possible sexual functioning
state. Many women complain of loss of sensation during
sexual intercourse, which reduces sexual satisfaction for
them, and also for their partners. It is quite common for
this to be the source of disharmony and
resentment. Worse still, the emotional toll with loss
of self-esteem and confidence can result in fear
of entering another relationship or even guilt, self-blame or
depression.
Some women complain of vaginal air-trapping or vaginal
wind, which can be very embarrassing. It can occur on its own and sometimes
during sexual intercourse. The same goes for vaginal water trapping,
with annoying dribbling of fluid long after coming out of the bath or pool.
Vaginal tightening surgically restores the stretched or damaged supporting tissues
and the muscles of the perineum. The stretched and excess vaginal skin is removed
resulting in immediate reduction in vaginal size, which should allow more friction
and return of sensation during sexual intercourse.
After The Procedure
You should expect some swelling and discomfort following the procedure.
Following discharge from hospital you will be taken back home if you live locally,
or your hotel to begin your recovery period. You will have sutures that may need
to be removed if they are not dissolvable. Your surgeon will advise you about
this also. Most patients notice a significant improvement in the bruising and
swelling after the first two weeks but it can take some time for everything to
settle completely. You will want to book about 1 to 2 weeks off work.
