Who should consider vaginoplasty (vaginal tightening surgery)?

If you are a woman in good health and with reasonable expectations then vaginoplasty is an option.

There are several reasons for choosing vaginoplasty which are:

• Stress incontinence

This can happen as a result of childbirth. The vaginal muscles can become slack during delivery and this can cause an involuntary loss of urine. You may notice this if you sneeze, laugh or cough.

This procedure can tighten the vaginal muscles which can enhance the amount of pleasure given, and received by the woman during lovemaking. This will also improve your sex life as a whole.

Having loose vaginal muscles can be both distressing and embarrassing. This can affect self-worth to such an extent that the patient feels unable to enjoy a normal lifestyle which can lead to depression.

Other reasons include repairing damage to the vagina and a prolapsed pelvis.

The vagina can be torn which can be felt as a pulling or rubbing sensation when wearing tight fitting clothes.

A prolapsed pelvis is where the muscles at the base of the pelvis are weakened as a result of childbirth which then causes pressure on the vagina. The result of this is pain and discomfort.
