The vagina is the female reproductive organ, which is known as the "reservoir" and has an average length of 8-9 cm. Vaginoplasty is a posterior repair surgery applied to the vagina by gynecologists. Vaginoplasty, which provides narrowing of the enlarged vagina for various reasons, helps to normalize the size of the vagina by removing the excess parts. In this way, it provides treatment of problems such as inability to enjoy sexual intercourse and urinary incontinence, which occur due to the enlarged vagina size. As a result of this operation, in which the posterior wall of the vagina is narrowed, the self-confidence problems and reservations of the person are eliminated.
The reproductive organ in women enlarges by experiencing trauma as a result of active use such as vagina and pregnancy. Birth is a stressful period for the female body in general, but this stress is felt most intensely in the vagina. The structure of the vagina, which expands a little due to pregnancy, is exposed to a trauma that it has not encountered before during childbirth, and although the size of the vagina narrows a little after birth, it may not return to its original state. In particular, factors such as frequent birth, having a difficult pregnancy and giving birth to a large baby all have an effect on vaginal enlargement.
This process, which results in vaginal enlargement, is not only encountered in women who have given birth, but sometimes the original structure of the vagina may be wide or prone to enlargement. Weak connective tissues in the vagina increase the risk of enlargement and sagging. For this reason, different reasons such as genetic predisposition may be effective in vaginal enlargement. Vaginal enlargement can also be mentioned in cases such as:
Vaginal enlargement is a major self-confidence issue for women. Since the enlarged vagina reduces sexual pleasure, it is a serious problem that can cause reluctance and subsequent disagreements between couples. If the person cannot share his or her problems with anyone, it may cause psychological problems and unhappy thoughts. It also carries the risk of developing into more serious problems such as vaginismus, where sexual intercourse is not possible. For this reason, it is extremely important to treat the vaginal enlargement as soon as possible and to regain the self-confidence of the woman.
In vaginal enlargement, the quality of sexual intercourse decreases. Due to the enlarged vagina volume, the penis cannot be grasped well and different problems begin to arise in the sexual life of couples. These problems can cause serious problems such as separation and divorce. In addition, there is an increase in the rate of vaginal gas incontinence in women due to the enlargement of the vagina, which is especially socially undesirable. It also increases during intercourse and develops out of control, which negatively affects the concentration of couples. Sometimes, uncontrolled gas discharge is experienced in situations such as doing sports, brisk walking and sneezing. Such situations are restrictive problems that damage women's self-confidence and cause them to be unable to move freely in society. All of these problems due to vaginal enlargement can be eliminated with vaginoplasty.
Contrary to popular belief, vaginoplasty is not performed as an aesthetic operation and is therefore performed by gynecologist physicians. The application that provides restructuring of the vagina greatly affects the function of the vagina and is performed under general or local anesthesia. Vaginoplasty can only be done by numbing the lower part of the waist, but in some cases, general anesthesia may be more appropriate for the patient's psychological comfort. Depending on the anesthesia to be applied, it is recommended that the patient come to the procedure hungry or full.
If an epidural, that is, anesthesia from the waist down, is to be performed, there is no harm in the patient's being full for the procedure, but at least 12 hours of fasting is required before general anesthesia. During the operation, all the expanding tissues in the vagina are removed, the loosened muscle structures are repaired and the vagina is restored to its original state. During this procedure, there is no need to make an incision from the abdomen and the incisions are limited to the vagina. For this reason, there is no visible stitch scar problem after the procedure, and the reduction rate in the vagina is determined according to the needs of the person and is decided by the physician. After the application, which takes about 30 to 60 minutes, the opened incision is closed with dissolving stitches and there is no need for stitches to be removed afterwards.
Vaginoplasty is a procedure where recovery is fast and trouble-free, with the physician's recommendations being followed. It is normal to see complaints such as pain, ache, bruising and swelling for 1-2 weeks after the surgery, but the patient can start to move comfortably in the ongoing process. The final results of the surgery appear within a few months and some suggestions are made to the person in order to overcome this process in the most ideal way:
Taking such protective measures accelerates the healing process and allows the patient to return to his normal life as quickly as possible. In addition, the acquisition of behaviors that increase the quality of life, such as adopting a healthy and regular lifestyle, paying attention to eating habits, and having a sleep pattern, also positively affects the healing process. Such habits are good for the health of the vagina, as they reduce the effects of aging as well as stress factors.
