What is Vaginal Tightening?
Vaginal tightening or vaginal rejuvenation tightens the vaginal muscles if they have become loose and stretched due to childbirth or age. It is done by removing the excess skin lining and by repairing the softer layers of tissue. The procedure is generally sought by women after completing child bearing or the ones who want improvement in vaginal tone not happening through Kegel exercises.
Women who choose the procedure usually do so because of vaginal laxity following childbirth. What it can realistically achieve varies between patients, and your surgeon will discuss the likely outcome in your case before recommending surgery. The procedure can also be combined with labiaplasty thereby improving both the look and feel of your vagina.
- After childbirth, some women find the vaginal muscles feel looser than before. Some also experience stress incontinence, which means leaking urine when they cough, laugh or exercise.
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy is the first thing to try. It helps a great many women, it carries none of the risks of surgery, and a surgeon will normally want it ruled out before recommending an operation.
- Where laxity remains after that, vaginal tightening shortens the stretched muscle and removes excess lining. This can improve comfort and sensation, though how much it changes varies from one patient to another.
- Women who come to us about this often say the change has affected how they feel about themselves. That is a reasonable thing to want addressed, and it is also a reason to be open with your surgeon about what you are hoping for, so that expectations are settled before surgery rather than after it.
- Prolapse of the pelvic organs, or an injury sustained during delivery, is a separate gynaecological problem. It can sometimes be repaired at the same time, but it needs its own assessment and is not what a cosmetic tightening procedure is for.
