What is vaginal tightening?

Vaginal tightening surgery can be considered for those who are dissatisfied with their sexual life due to vaginal relaxation caused by vaginal delivery, old perineal tears, poor wound healing after episiotomy, or congenital reasons. Vaginal tightening surgery can improve sexual problems caused by vaginal relaxation, but it cannot solve sexual problems caused by psychological or other reasons.

How is the postoperative condition?

This type of surgery is usually performed in an outpatient hospital operating room using local anesthesia. Gauze will be placed in the vagina to prevent hematoma formation. Some people may be allowed to go home, while others need to stay in the hospital for observation.

What should I pay attention to after the operation?

The patient needs to stay in bed for 12 to 24 hours after the operation, take oral antibiotics to prevent infection, and take a sitz bath with 1/5000 potassium permanganate solution twice a day for 7 to 10 days. The stitches will be removed one week after the operation. In the early stage, you should avoid exerting force, bending over and lifting heavy objects. Generally, you can return to work 1 to 2 weeks after the operation, and resume physical exercise after four weeks. No sexual intercourse for 6 weeks.

How effective is the surgery?

The effects of vaginal tightening may be dramatic or only mild, depending on the degree of vaginal laxity before the surgery, but the results are long-lasting. It should be pointed out that vaginal tightening surgery can improve sexual problems caused by vaginal relaxation, but it cannot solve sexual problems caused by psychological or other reasons.

From this we can see that whether or not to go to the hospital for vaginal tightening surgery after childbirth needs to be decided based on the actual situation of the mother after childbirth. In normal times, you must not blindly insist on surgery in order to restore the vagina. This is not only irresponsible to your own body, but also to your family.
