You are probably not alone if you have a loose vagina and are looking for treatments to turn them back to how they were when you were young. Having an unattractive vagina can lead to a decline in your sex life and make you lose your confidence in yourself.

The loosening of vaginas is normal for women who have had multiple vaginal childbirths or for older women. This is a common issue and can be treated through vaginal rejuvenation.

This article will go into detail what vaginal rejuvenation treatment entails and everything concerning it.

What is Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Vaginal rejuvenation, also called vaginoplasty, is a broad term used to describe several vaginal corrective procedures that women undergo to tighten their vagina that has become loose due to childbirth or age-related problems.

As a result of aging, childbirth, or genetics, the tissues surrounding a woman’s vagina might start to lose their elasticity and strength. This can lead to several issues ranging from urinary incontinence (leaking urine) to vaginal dryness and lack of sexual pleasure.

Many women seek treatments for this issue and try to improve and restore the functions of their vaginas. Vaginal Rejuvenation is one such treatment for restoring the functions of the vagina. It has both surgical and non-surgical treatment options.

Often times, women choose to undergo vaginal rejuvenation for cosmetic reasons. This can sometimes be a psychological issue because a loose and saggy vagina can cause women to lose confidence in themselves.

But this does not mean that all women should undergo this method to be more attractive. They should be clear about the fact that they are doing tech treatment for themselves and not for their partner or anybody else.

How Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Work?

In this treatment, the mucous membrane, the vaginal canal, and other parts of the vagina are treated with reconstructive plastic surgery and cosmetic procedures.

Vaginal openings play a vital role in childbirth and in providing sexual pleasure to women. This opening can sometimes occur during childbirth when the internal and external muscles of the vagina at stretched too much or as one ages.

Vaginal rejuvenation is a procedure to tighten the muscles around the vagina. It also removes the excess muscles around the vagina and gives the vagina a more attractive look.

What are the Advantages of Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery?

There are several advantages women can get through vaginal rejuvenation. Some of them are given below.

  • Make the vagina more firm and tight.
  • Help with urinal incontinence (leaking urine).
  • Increase moisture and lubrication.
  • Increase the sensitivity of vaginas.
  • Help with painful intercourse.
  • Strengthen weak vaginal muscles.

Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation

Vaginal rejuvenation can be very beneficial for women in so many aspects of their life. Below are some of the benefits women get through this treatment.

1. It helps women regain their confidence

Like it or not, a woman’s body is one of the main boosters of her self-confidence. Lacking any attractive features can sometimes cause insecurity and discomfort to women. Undergoing this treatment can help women regain their self-confidence.

2. Correct urinary incontinence

Constant vaginal births can make the vagina loose and cause premature urination or unintentional leaks in women as they grow older. This treatment can make the vagina tighten and prevent unexpected leaks.

3. More comfort in movements

Having enlarged or slack labia can often cause friction while walking or moving around. Vaginal reconstruction surgery can restore this issue.

4. Improved sexual pleasure

Vaginal rejuvenation can give women and their partners more sexual stimulation and improve their sex life. The vaginal tissue in the vagina can even lessen the pain.

Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation Options

Vaginal rejuvenation is an umbrella term that has a series of treatments under it. Anesthesia will be administered before the start of the surgery. Some treatments that can be done through surgery are given below.

  • Vaginoplasty: Surgery done to repair the vagina after childbirth.
    Vulvoplasty: Surgery done to alter the size and shape of the outer lip of the vagina (labia majora).
  • Labiaplasty: Surgery done to alter the size and shape of the inner lip of the vagina (labia minora).
  • Clitoral hood reduction: Surgery done to remove extra tissue around the clitoris.
  • Monsplasty: Surgery done to remove the fatty tissues from the pubic bone area.
  • Perineoplasty: Surgery done to strengthen the perineum (space between the vagina and anus).

Non-Surgical Vaginal Rejuvenation Options

Non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation is non-invasive and often involves two methods: radio frequency and laser methods. These are both energy-based treatments where they heat the tissues to cause the formation of collagen.

  • Radiofrequency: Radiofrequency or RF treatments produce electromagnetic waves similar to those produced by a microwave (but with less effect) and heat the tissues lining the vagina.
  • CO2 Laser: In this treatment, a wand is inserted into the vagina to heat the vaginal tissues. These tissues are made to produce more collagen due to the heat and become more firm and tight.

Does Vaginal Rejuvenation Have any Complications?

Just like any other treatment, vaginal rejuvenation also has some side effects that women have to take note of. The risk for surgical treatments is higher than for non-surgical treatments. Some complications involved with this treatment are

  • Pain,
  • Infection,
  • Bleeding,
  • Scarring,
  • Disfigurement, and
  • Painful sex.

Is Vaginal Rejuvenation Right for You?

If you have loose or sagging vaginal muscles due to childbirth, aging, or weight loss, you are a candidate for vaginal rejuvenation treatment. Older women who have urinal incontinence due to old age are also candidates for this treatment.

In general, the candidates who opt for the surgical method of vaginal rejuvenation should be mentally and physically stable and in good health. They should have a clear and optimistic view of the treatment they want to undergo.

Also, candidates who have problems due to the rubbing or pulling of an enlarged labia lips against clothing can also undergo a non-surgical vaginal or outer vaginal rejuvenation treatment.

NOTE

Girls under the age of 18 should not undergo vaginal rejuvenation treatments. With their body just growing and with their vagina still developing, undergoing this surgery can cause adverse effects on the girl’s genitalia and sexual functions. 

Conclusion

At the end of the day, it is important to remember that each woman’s body is different, and they develop in their own unique way. There is no need for women to feel inferior or less attractive just because of a loose vagina. In some cases Vaginal itching, which can often occur during various life stages, such as pregnancy or menopause, is another aspect of women’s health that should be approached with understanding and compassion. It’s essential to recognize that these natural changes are part of the female experience and, when necessary, seek proper medical advice for managing any discomfort or concerns.

However, if they wish to undergo the treatment, they can always seek the help of their fertility doctor and discuss with them the appropriate way to approach the issue?

Frequently asked questions

If you had a surgical treatment, you should wait for several weeks before you can engage in intercourse. This is to give the scars time to heal and the stitches to dissolve.

In the case of non-surgical treatments, you should wait for at least three to five days to have intercourse. Check for any signs of infections or bleeding, and refrain from using tampons or inserting anything into your vagina.

The duration of each treatment differs according to the type of treatment you undergo. For surgical treatments, it would take anywhere between one to two hours. For non-surgical treatments, the duration is anywhere between five to thirty minutes.
