Many women have heard of vaginoplasty but aren’t sure if the procedure is a good fit for their needs or where to begin. The team members at K & K OB-GYN & Cosmetics are passionate about providing science-backed information and guidance to the women in their care.
If you live in or around the Midtown East neighborhood in Downtown Manhattan or the Brighton Beach area of Brooklyn, New York, we’re here to provide information about the latest women’s health treatments and services.
Let’s begin with the basics. Vaginoplasty is a type of surgery that focuses on restoring or reconstructing your vaginal tissues. The most common type of patient who seeks vaginoplasty is a woman who has gone through one or more vaginal births and has noticed changes in vaginal function after becoming a mother.
That said, the process can also be helpful to women who experience age-related vaginal changes, and who want to feel more like themselves when it comes to vaginal function and comfort.
A healthy sex life is an integral part of your overall health and wellness. Vaginal intercourse is an experience shaped by friction between two partners. Too much friction can be uncomfortable for both parties, but too little friction can also be a problem.
Women who’ve gone through pregnancy and childbirth often experience changes in their vaginal walls. Multiple pregnancies can lead to even more pronounced differences in the way your vagina feels and functions.
Vaginoplasty helps to regain a “tighter” and more narrowed vaginal canal. This can increase pleasure for both you and your partner during vaginal penetration.
Far too many women accept vaginal changes as just another part of growing older, or as the inevitable results of giving birth. But there’s no reason to accept a decrease in sexual enjoyment just because you’re a mother or are a certain age.
Vaginoplasty has the power to reverse those changes and help you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
Some women seek vaginoplasty after having certain cancer treatments that alter their vaginal tissues. If you’ve gone through radiation or surgery as part of your cancer treatment, vaginoplasty can help restructure and restore your vaginal function.
Vaginoplasty also corrects certain congenital conditions that affect the vagina. If you were born with excess tissue in your vaginal canal, surgery can remove it. It’s also possible to alter the length of your vaginal canal to make penetrative sex more enjoyable.
Some women are born without a vagina, or with severe abnormalities in their vaginal region. Vaginoplasty can help by using your existing skin and other tissues to create or restructure your vagina.
If you’re interested in learning more about how vaginoplasty can help improve your quality of life, the best place to begin is with a personalized and private consultation.
From how to prepare for surgery and what to expect in recovery, to the timing and expense of various treatment options, get all the details you need to make an informed decision about your care. Call K & K OB-GYN & Cosmetics or book online today.
