Medical Video: Minimally invasive vaginal reconstruction
Vaginal surgery was originally developed as a reconstruction procedure to correct birth defects. Certain conditions (for example, Müllerrian agenesis or aplasia, vaginal agenesis, congenital adrenal hyperplasia) need to be corrected or corrected so that young women can grow up with the ability to urinate normally, have menstrual cycles, and be involved in sexual relations as adults.
However, in recent years, vaginal surgical procedures have also been used as cosmetic purposes. Vaginoplasty, commonly referred to as vaginal rejuvenation, is a procedure that can usually correct a loose vaginal muscle problem caused by childbirth or aging, and is a quick way to improve one's sexual life. This procedure usually strengthens the vaginal muscles, resulting in greater contraction strength and better control to allow stronger sensations during sexual activity. This cosmetic procedure is often combined with labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is a plastic surgical procedure to beautify the appearance of the vulvar lips, or labia.
All women who are considered healthy enough to undergo a surgical procedure can carry out vaginal rejuvenation. Therefore, more and more women, especially young women, choose to carry out this procedure only for aesthetic purposes or to achieve a more ideal sex life.
Vaginal rejuvenation is not the only solution
Vaginoplasty is not recommended for pregnant women or those who are planning a pregnancy. If a woman carries out this procedure before giving birth, the labor process will be far more difficult and painful, not to mention the labor process that might damage the results of vaginoplasty.
Vaginoplasty and other vaginal rejuvenation procedures should not be seen as a way for someone to make their body look 'normal'. The size, shape, color, and appearance of each vulva differ from one person to another. What's more, it's impossible to determine what a "normal" vagina looks like.
In addition, vaginoplasty should not be done only to satisfy the desire of the partner. If a woman feels comfortable with her body, her partner must also be so. Similarly, surgery should not be done as a way to "improve" relationships.
Vaginoplasty is a procedure that has a personal impact on your body. The decision to change the shape of the body must be made in such a way independently after weighing all the pros and cons.
To some extent, vaginoplasty can be the best solution for some women. However, this is not the only choice. Kegel exercises and other vaginal exercises can also be used to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Some vaginal creams sold on the market aim to cause swelling of the vagina to give a stronger and tighter impression. This cream can be used for a certain period of time to gradually increase sexual sensation, but there is no guarantee that each user will be satisfied with the results given.
But indeed, the main weakness of this alternative is that the end result will not be as fast or permanent compared to plastic surgery procedures.
Results may not be as expected
If you are considering vaginoplasty, make sure that you read all the risks and benefits and their weight on each other. If you decide that the vaginal rejuvenation surgery is according to your wants and needs, and consult with a specialist doctor for this procedure.
The risks associated with vaginoplasty are similar to many other general operations, including infection, bleeding, severe scars, and blood clots. However, this risk is usually rare as long as the patient is in good health. Other risks include nerve damage, vaginal collapse, and unbalanced natural lubricants, although this case is rare if you are handled by a skilled surgeon.
Some surgical scars are normal and will fade on their own as long as the patient takes the steps needed in the recovery process. If you decide to do vaginoplasty, the surgeon will discuss in detail the risks associated with your procedure and health.
The most common risk - and most importantly - to be considered when deciding on vaginal rejuvenation is that patients may feel dissatisfied with the outcome. Although many women claim that vaginoplasty has proven to be effective in improving the quality of their sex lives, there is actually no guarantee that the same applies to everyone.
Sometimes, this procedure can cause the vagina to not be as tight as expected, or even feel so tight that you may not be able to have comfortable sex with your partner. In this case, additional therapy or surgical repair will probably be needed to achieve the desired outcome.
