Vaginoplasty in Turkey
What is Vaginoplasty?
Vaginoplasty is a vaginal rejuvenation surgery performed to correct vaginal hyperlaxity, stretching of vaginal canal tissues, tone and fix the capacity of vaginal muscles.
Vaginal hyperlaxity, one of the reasons of vaginoplasty, is a frequent phenomenon after birth, especially in long, complex, instrumented deliveries and/or newborns weighing more than 3,000 g.
Vaginal hyperlaxity is caused by a deficiency in the tonicity of the perineal muscles. Women suffering from it, first of all, experience a decrease in sensitivity during sexual intercourse and abundant discharge of water from the vagina after bathing.
It is common to associate the enlargement of the labia majora with hyaluronic acid infiltrations to improve the smoothness and hydration of the vulva or other vulvar rejuvenation techniques such as labiaplasty to remove over-aged skin at the labia minora level.
Before Vaginoplasty Operation
Although vaginal enlargement usually occurs after normal delivery, genetic predisposition is also an important factor. If the skin is thin and its elasticity is more than usual, it is seen that there is an increase in the vagina after the birth. Although it is not a visual aesthetic loss, this situation can be the main source of many problems such as difficulty in keeping urine as a result of relaxation of the vaginal muscles, and unwanted sounds during sexual intercourse. This problem, which is generally encountered in women who have given birth more than once and normally, is eliminated by narrowing the posterior wall of the vagina.
Before the surgery decision, your doctor will perform your physical examination to evaluate your suitability for the operation. During this physical examination, you are expected to provide information about your medical history and general health status.
Your doctor will inform you about the risks, benefits, and post-operative care requirements of the operation. Following your doctor's recommendations will reduce the risk of complications. Before the vaginoplasty operation, it is important to follow that:
- This process is needed to be done after the menstrual period is over.
- If the patient is using hormone-containing drugs, these drugs should be stopped 3 weeks before the procedure, and they can start taking their medications again 2 weeks after the procedure. In patients using aspirin, It should be discontinued at least 3 days before.
- Existing vaginal infection must be treated before the surgery.
- The patient should not eat or drink anything 6 hours before the procedure.
After Vaginoplasty Operation
The process after vaginoplasty is very important for the success of the treatment. After the patient who had vaginal tightening surgery was discharged,
- General hygiene rules and genital shade cleaning should be meticulous.
- Dressings should be done in accordance with physician recommendations.
- Prescribed drugs should be taken on time and in full.
- The pool or sauna should be avoided for about 3 weeks.
- Should abstain from sexual activity for at least 6 weeks.
Stitches placed after vaginoplasty surgery fall off on their own after about 2 weeks without the need for any intervention. For this reason, there is no need to consult a doctor to have stitches removed. After 1 month after the operation, the vaginal area returns to its normal state, and the patient can return to his normal sexual life after 45 days.
Although the tightness of the vagina region is mostly preserved after vaginoplasty surgery, re-enlargement can be seen due to reasons such as recurrent births, and aging albeit with a low probability. To prevent such a repetition, exercises to strengthen the vagina muscles are very useful. Thanks to the trainings called Kegel exercises, both the vagina muscles and the muscle structures in different parts of the body can be strengthened. Such exercises also keep women away from problems such as urinary incontinence in later ages.
Is There Any Scar After Vaginal Tightening Surgery?
Whether or not there will be any scars in the vaginal area after the surgery is one of the most frequently asked questions by women who are considering surgery. There is no trace left after the operation, and it is impossible to even see a sign that the individual has undergone surgery. The fact that the surgery does not have significant complications is also very comforting for women. Vaginoplasty operations, which have simple risk factors such as short-term spotting, light bleeding and edema, are operations that patients can return to normal life in a short time if the individiuals follows the doctor's recommendations. Mild bleeding and edema formations that can be seen after the surgery disappear within 10 days.
The Effect of Vaginoplasty Surgery on Sexual Life
It is the friction of the clitoris to the penis that makes the woman reach orgasm during sexual intercourse. If the vagina becomes loose due to birth or a different reason, it becomes difficult to get sexual pleasure because the amount of expected friction decreases. After the vaginoplasty surgery, because the penis enters a narrower vagina, the friction time to the clitoris is prolonged, and it is possible for women and men to reach a more satisfying sexual pleasure. Many female patients complain that they could not have an orgasm before vaginoplasty, and that they started to experience orgasm in addition to the increase in pleasure from sexual intercourse after the surgery. For this reason, vaginal tightening surgeries make a great contribution to maintaining a healthier sexual life.
