With the surgical field, which is called Vaginoplasty in the medical language, it is aimed to correct the deformations that occur in the genital organs of women and to give them a more aesthetic form.

Since these surgeries are in the field of gynecology, they are performed by a gynecologist.

Why Does the Vagina Enlarge?

Vagina; advancing age, normal birth or multiple birth, abortion, sexual intercourse, etc. expands as a result of actions. The most important cause of enlargement is the birth process. Especially during difficult births, the muscles and connective tissues in the genital area are torn, which causes permanent enlargement of the vagina. In addition, during normal delivery, the baby does not go down and cesarean section application causes enlargement of the vagina. Some women have a genetically increased structure of vaginal connective tissue elasticity due to congenital reasons. Even if these people have never given birth, they may not get enough pleasure during sex and may feel this relaxation.

With vaginoplasty developed for all these situations, the genital organs of women are corrected and given a tighter structure, so women have a higher level of pleasure during sexual intercourse.

The name of vaginoplasty, which is performed by many gynecologists, among gynecological operations is 'colporaphy posterior', which means posterior repair. The standard size of the vagina, which is 8-9 centimeters, is brought to this standard size in case of enlargement. In vaginoplasty surgery, triangular shaped excess tissue is removed with incisions made in the inner part of the vagina. Afterwards, the operation is terminated with transverse sutures and narrowing is achieved. Thus, the posterior wall of the organ is narrowed from the entrance to the end.

Why Does the Vagina Enlarge?

Problems Caused by an Enlarged Vagina

The enlargement of the vagina over time causes the lack of sexual satisfaction during intercourse and as a result, the loss of self-confidence in people. This situation, which is a very important issue within the scope of bilateral relations, is one of the biggest obstacles to a healthy union. Sexual life, which is an extremely important issue for a healthy union, leads to breakups at the point where it does not make the partners happy.

Another negative situation caused by the enlargement of the vagina is the problems that directly concern health. Having a wide mouth, the vagina becomes more prone to many diseases.

Vaginoplasty Surgery

The aim of these surgeries is to bring the enlarged vagina to its normal size. Therefore, the operations of a woman who has given birth and a woman who has never given birth are different. Vaginal tightening surgeries are two-stage, both internal and external. According to the size of the enlargement, a narrowing of 7-8 cm is achieved from the inside, so that the length of the vagina does not decrease, only the width of the canal is completely narrowed.

Vaginoplasty operations are extremely simple operations, but there are still some issues to be considered. Particular attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the genital area after the operation, and this area should be kept dry at all times. Since the strains that may occur during defecation may adversely affect the vagina, it should be fed with foods and beverages that will keep the risk of constipation to a minimum.

Partial bleeding can be experienced in this area for an average of 2 weeks after the operation, this is expected, but if the bleeding is severe, a doctor should be consulted. During the treatment period, it is very important to use the drugs prescribed by the doctor and to apply the dressings. During this period, physical activities should be kept to a minimum, heavy gymnastic movements should be avoided and sports activities should be suspended.

Complications that may occur after vaginoplasty surgery are the risk of bleeding and infections. However, if the doctor's instructions are followed, as long as the person takes good care of himself and rests, the risks of these complications will disappear.

Will there be re-expansion after surgery?

surgical vaginoplasty is not an expected situation. However, if the patient is at a very young age and gives birth or deliveries in the future, re-enlargement may occur. Under normal conditions, surgical vaginoplasty is a permanent procedure and the need for repetition is not an expected situation.

Vaginoplasty Surgery Be Performed During Childbirth?

It is not possible to perform this surgery during or immediately after birth. Since pregnancy is a very difficult process on its own, many physiological changes occur at this stage. The baby passing through the cervix during delivery has a high risk of developing edema here. During pregnancy, bleeding occurs in the uterus, risks of infection occur, and bleeding increases in the timeframes close to delivery and during delivery. In other words, if pregnancy means a very critical process, it is extremely dangerous to perform this surgery during childbirth.

Laser Vaginoplasty

Vaginal tightening with laser; It is applied in patients who experience bladder and uterine prolapse, if they are in a condition that will interfere with satisfaction during sexual intercourse. In the majority of these patients, unpleasant situations such as urinary incontinence are experienced during sudden reflexes such as heavy lifting, laughing and coughing. All of these problems are solved with laser therapy.

Pain during sexual intercourse occurs in patients who have an infection in the uterus and especially in cases of vaginal dryness that occurs during menopause. With the laser process, which is a very useful operation in the solution of these problems, the uterine canal is narrowed, rejuvenated and wetting is provided. Laser vaginoplasty is a very useful treatment for all non-virgin women who have an active sexual life and can be easily applied.

Laser Vaginoplasty Successful?

Another curious subject is how much narrowing the laser provides. With the laser, blood supply in the vaginal wall and an increase in the amount of collagen are provided, thus rejuvenation and a much more elastic structure is obtained in the vagina. Another important contribution is the elimination of dryness in the vagina due to some reasons. By balancing the pH of the vagina with the laser, vaginal infections are prevented.

Considering all these results, laser vaginoplasty surgery is a very useful application. These operations, which are painless and without the need for anesthesia, are in demand because they keep both risk factors and complications to a minimum, since they are not included in the scope of surgery. After an average of 3 weeks from the application, partners can have sexual intercourse.

Vaginoplasty and Labiaplasty Surgeries

In addition, since the surgical requirements of each person are different, the price range may vary. Before the operation, patients should be examined, have one-on-one meetings with the specialist gynecologist, and convey their complaints to the specialist, so a road map for the operation is drawn and the surgical requirements are determined.
