VAGINOPLASTY - Vaginal Tightening Surgery

This is also known as vaginal tightening and is the name given to the cosmetic procedure which tones and tightens up loose vaginal muscles often caused by childbirth.


This procedure also enhances sexual pleasure and gratification.

What is ‘vaginoplasty’?
This is a cosmetic procedure which tightens the muscles of the vagina which have become slack as a result of childbirth. It can also enhance lovemaking for women hence why it is often known as a ‘designer vagina’.

In the case of childbirth the muscles of the vagina loosen and stretch during delivery. These ease the passage of the baby. However, the problem arises when these expanded muscles stay weak and loose which can cause long term problems. These include stress incontinence and sexual dysfunction.

Vaginoplasty can be performed with other procedures such as a labiaplasty (surgery conducted on the inner or outer lips of the vagina).

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.

Improving the appearance of female sex organs

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.

Boost confidence and self-esteem

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.

Vaginal Tightening Info

The vast majority of women will develop some sort of vaginal related problem during their lifetime. This is especially true of women who have children, or even multiple children. Childbirth places enormous strain on the vaginal muscles. And most often these muscles will never return to their normal elasticity without being worked out and repaired. Moreover, as women age the muscles that support the urethra and uterus also become weak if not worked out regularly with vaginal tightening exercises. This can result in stress urinary incontinence and uterine prolapse.

Fortunately, there are vaginal tightening exercises that can be done to help you dramatically tighten up your vagina. There are many that will help you target and strengthen all of the most important muscles in the vagina that will help you prevent problems as you age.

If you’re worried about your sex life, then vaginal exercises will certainly help please your man and yourself very quickly. The PC muscle is the most important muscle to work out if you want to experience stronger and more frequent orgasms. You can learn to isolate the PC muscle and work it out consistently. Just like all the other muscles, it will become exponentially stronger. This muscle, however, will greatly benefit you in the very near future. You see, as it becomes stronger, so will your orgasms. And you will also feel much tighter to your lover. Not just that, but you will be able to clamp down on his manhood and make him explode with awesome intensity.

How can I tighten my loose vagina

Tighten loose vagina...

Dear Alice,


I have given birth to three children. My last child was delivered without an episiotomy. I have noticed a change in the size of my vagina as a result of this. I am too embarrassed to have sex because I feel too loose. Is this common with multiple childbirths? I am too ashamed to ask anyone this. Please let me know if there is something that can be done to repair my womanhood.



Dear Reader,


It can be embarrassing to discuss these issues, but many women have experienced the exact same concerns, particularly after having several children. Your medical practitioner won't be surprised to hear that you've got these concerns, so it makes sense to bring up your worries at your next appointment, or make a special appointment to talk things over before you are examined.


You say you are embarrassed to have sex because you feel too loose. Is this something that your partner told you, or did you come to this conclusion by squeezing, or trying to squeeze, your fingers if you put them inside of you, using the muscles of your vaginal opening? Maybe inserting a tampon clued you in? Childbirth can bring changes in a person's body and sexual response. Every now and then, accommodations, such as trying various positions, having different expectations, or using lube, need to be made. Sometimes medical assistance can be helpful. Talk with your partner, although it may be embarrassing or hard to do, about what you both notice and/or worry about. These unexpected changes are part of a person's life and it's normal to accommodate them over a person's life span or a long-term relationship.


Are you having any trouble holding your urine? Often women who have the sensation that their vagina is stretched also notice that they leak urine, especially when they laugh, sneeze, or cough.


Kegel exercises strengthen pelvic floor muscles, the muscles that stretch during childbirth. They help improve sexual pleasure (more intense orgasms) by making the muscles stronger and more elastic, and they can improve bladder tone so that you don't leak urine. They won't, however, actually make your vagina smaller, but they can make the opening tighter.


Here's how to do Kegel exercises:


When you're peeing, clench (without your hands) your muscles to stop the flow of urine for about four seconds. Then release those same muscles to let the urine flow again. These are your pelvic floor muscles; these are the muscles you'll be exercising when you do Kegels.
If you want to check and make sure that you're using the right muscles, put a finger or two into your vagina. Tighten the muscles. If you can feel your fingers being squeezed (even just a little), then you've located the right muscles.


About five to ten times a day, repeat the Kegels ten times per session.
It can take up to 8 to 10 weeks to notice improvement, and there will most certainly be improvement. Like any kind of weight lifting or muscle building exercises, Kegels take time to make a difference! (Adding a vaginal barbell to your regular Kegel exercise routine can help. They are available at specialty stores that carry sex toys or sexual enhancement items.)
If you do Kegel exercises enthusiastically and regularly, and notice no change at all, ask your health care provider about other methods to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, including:


Vaginal cones
These objects are weighted, tampon-sized devices that a woman puts into her vagina and holds there. A set of cones increases gradually in weight. One starts with the lightest cone, inserts it into the vagina, and squeezes the muscles to hold it in place. This is done twice a day, for about fifteen minutes per session, while going about one's usual activities. When a woman is successful at keeping the cone in place, she can move on to the next heavier cone, working her way up to the heaviest.


Electrical stimulation (called NMES or Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation) 
This method uses a probe in the vagina to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor with an electric current, which causes the muscles to contract and relax. Treatments are performed every one to four days and last about 20 minutes per session. Depending on the situation, one might do these treatments for a few weeks, or longer. Some health care providers perform these sessions in their offices; others prescribe home units for their patients.


NeocontrolTM 
This is a special chair that uses magnetic fields to stimulate the muscles of the pelvic floor. These treatments are usually administered by a technician or nurse in a urologist's office in 20 to 30 minute sessions, twice a week, for about eight weeks.


If you have severe problems due to vaginal stretching, some health care providers will recommend surgery; this is usually a last resort. Laser procedures and more complicated ones to re-position your bladder are available. You and your provider will figure out what makes sense for you.


There is nothing to be ashamed about — this is a common experience for women, as well as information you need to know.


Alice
