Having children can be very stressful to a woman’s body. Most of the effects of pregnancy and childbirth go away with time, like extra weight, unwanted hair and darkened skin. But there are things that take longer to get back to normal or never really return to the way there were before.

A woman’s vagina is a very intimate and special area for her. This is the part of her body that brings her babies into the world. Women see this as a beautiful and natural part of life. Many women also see this part of their body as what makes them a woman. It is intimately connected with her first memory of becoming a woman. It is the erotic and sensual part of her.

Childbirth and age often cause the vagina to change shape, lose sensation or functionality. Some women are born with deformities of the vagina. Some women have muscles that distort the anatomy of the vagina. All of these naturally occurring issues can lead to pelvic pain, difficult or painful bowel movements, and stress incontinence.

Pain in the pelvic area can range from light cramps to severe pelvic pain. This is unwanted, inconvenient, and worrisome. Stress incontinence is an embarrassing symptom to endure.

Women affected by vaginal issues often experience painful or unsatisfactory intimacy with their partner. Some women simply do not reach climax because of the shape of their vagina. Others experience pain that deters them from enjoying intimacy with their lovers.

Many women have lived their entire lives assuming there was nothing they could do to correct the issues surrounding that deeply personal part of their anatomy. They have lived with embarrassment, sometimes shame and guilt, feeling that they cannot satisfy their partners. These issues sometimes lead to depression and low self esteem.

Some women even resort to living with physical and emotional pain. The delicate nature of the issues affecting their bodies is simply too embarrassing to talk with a doctor about. Some women even come to the conclusion that they were not meant to enjoy intimacy, pain free lives, and dry undergarments.

Vaginoplasty: Vaginal Restructuring and Rejuvenation

Fortunately it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a simple procedure that can correct vaginal abnormalities. Not only will these patients enjoy pain free lives, they can have normal and enjoyable intimate relationships.

The procedure is called vaginoplasty and it is often used in gender reassignment surgery. It can be paired with a bladder lift if stress incontinence is one of the accompanying symptoms. This procedure restores the normal anatomy of the vagina. The walls of the vagina are tightened and the opening will also be restored to normal size.

Vaginoplasty will reduce or eliminate pelvic pain. In addition to alleviating pain, the procedure also restores a normal and fully enjoyable level of intimacy. The bladder lift, if needed, will end the stress incontinence that the patient has been experiencing. The use of pads or adult diapers may be eliminated entirely.

This procedure is done under light intra venous sedation. Most of the patients can return to work in less than one week. Women who want a pain free, beautiful and healthy body will be pleased with the results and ease of the vaginoplasty.

One very important thing for these women to keep in mind is that the doctor they choose should be not only a gynecologist, but a plastic surgeon as well. The doctor should also have urology knowledge. Vaginoplasty is a relatively simple procedure that can change a woman’s life for the better.
