Vaginal narrowing
Vaginal narrowing is a procedure to correct vaginal width and perineal defects.
In the course of the vaginal narrowing procedure, the doctor removes excess tissue from the intimate area and corrects perineal defects that have a negative impact on sex life and cause frequent infections and profuse discharge. The indications for the procedure are primarily stretching of the vaginal circular muscles and damage to the pelvic floor muscles.
Vaginal narrowing – about the procedure
A difficult and long labor may require an episiotomy or various vaginal injuries, which can lead to excessive stretching of the vaginal orbicularis orbicularis muscles and damage to the pelvic floor muscles. As a result, the perineum may be lowered and the vaginal vestibule and vaginal entrance may become enlarged. Similar symptoms can also be the result of heavy physical exertion. Often, the only way to treat the above ailments is to perform a vaginal narrowing procedure.
What does the procedure look like?
Vaginal stenosis is a gynecological surgery performed under general or spinal anesthesia. Vaginal stenosis: the procedure is performed on the operating table in a gynaecological position. Immediately before the surgery, the doctor marks the lines of the planned incisions, which allows you to precisely determine the tissue fragments that will be removed. Then, during the operation, the doctor removes the excess posterior vaginal wall and corrects defects in the pelvic base muscles and bulbocangiform muscle. Finally, the doctor performs perineal plastic surgery. After the surgery, only a small external suture remains.
How long does the procedure take?
The operation usually takes 1-1.5 hours, and about 2-4 hours after its completion, the patient is launched. After the procedure, the patient can drink fluids and take easily digestible foods. The patient is discharged home the same day or the next day. The postoperative wound heals in 7-10 days, and you can return to your daily tasks after just a few days. On the other hand, the return to full activity usually takes place 4-6 weeks after the surgery.
Who is the treatment dedicated to?
Vaginal narrowing is recommended for women who have ruptured or stretched the vagina and perineum, most often as a result of long and difficult natural births. In addition, the procedure can be used by people whose changes in the intimate areas are the result of hard physical work.
Recommendations
Before vaginal narrowing, the laboratory tests indicated by the doctor should be performed and the blood type determined. After the surgery, it is recommended to:
- frequent washing under running water and with the use of a washing preparation,
- perineal care with a disinfectant,
- avoiding perineal tension and sitting for 7 days,
- avoiding physical exertion and lifting for 14 days,
- the use of oral agents to prevent constipation,
- ad hoc use of generally available painkillers,
- refraining from intercourse within about 6 weeks after the procedure.
Effects
The result of the procedure is a narrowed vagina and improved pelvic floor muscle tone. In addition, the perineum, i.e. the distance between the vaginal vestibule and the anus, is raised. During the operation, the doctor also removes excess vaginal mucosa. As a result of the procedure, the patient is able to feel the pleasure of sex more strongly, which significantly improves the quality of intimate life. Equally important, a narrower vaginal opening allows you to reduce ailments such as excessive vaginal discharge or inflammation.
Vaginal narrowing surgery is more and more often chosen by women who, as a result of a difficult childbirth, face the problem of lowering the perineum and enlargement of the vestibule and vaginal entrance. Performing the procedure allows them to regain health, satisfaction with their sex life and self-confidence.
