Vaginal Tightening

Vaginoplasty / Vaginal Tightening in Bangkok, Thailand

          Vaginoplasty is a standard gynecologic surgical procedure that aims to "tighten" a vagina.  The vagina has become slack or loose from experience, enlargement due to stressful expansion during childbirth, aging, or outcomes to fixing functional problems, such as urinary incontinence.

          Their results can often be loose, weak vaginal muscles. Even after exercise (Kegal exercise), the condition of the vaginal muscles may not improve. The patients will often describe vaginal looseness as a decrease in their ability to attain vaginal orgasms. The result is an immediate decrease in the size of vaginal muscles, resulting in more friction during sexual experiences.

  • A few days after surgery, recommend a gentle movement to avoid wound disruption
  • After the first two weeks, you will have light reddish bleeding out of the vagina; you should use a sanitary napkin for post-operative bleeding. In case of a lot of bleeding, swollen reddish wound, and high fever, don't hesitate to get in touch with the hospital or meet the doctor immediately
