Perineorrhaphy, also called perineoplasty, is a female cosmetic genital surgery that works on the perineal muscles and tightens the vagina. The perineum is the visible area between the vagina and the rectum. It undergoes tearing during childbirth, and episiotomies are cut.

The idea behind perineorrhaphy is reconstructing the vaginal introitus by decreasing the size of the vaginal opening and making the region appears normal. The surgery involves the removal of excess skin and loose skin tags. The underlying muscles are sutured, bringing the perineal body closer together. It gives a more snug feeling in the vaginal opening.

Why do you need Perineorrhaphy Vaginal Tightening?

The vagina may lose elasticity due to a number of reasons. One of the most prominent reasons is childbirth, wherein the vaginal muscles stretch and the vaginal opening losses. Normal delivery leads to perineal lacerations, making the vagina unusual. Other than this, a few more reasons that may require perineorrhaphy vaginal tightening are:

• Sensation of wide vagina due to perineal lacerations
• Incorrectly repaired episiotomy techniques
• Less pelvic support
• Urinary incontinence

These are some of the reasons which may lead to sexual dysfunctions like decreased libido, increased vaginal dryness, and inability to achieve orgasm. In such cases, perineorrhaphy vaginal tightening reduces the size of the vaginal opening and tightens the muscles.

Who may experience perineal lacerations?

Women under following heads may get perineal lacerations-

• Those who have had multiple childbirths
• Women who gave to large size babies
• Those who have experienced some injury during childbirth especially during the long, exhausting hours of labor in the pushing stage
• Women whose episiotomies are not healed appropriately that was performed at the time of childbirth

How does perineorrhaphy vaginal tightening help?

It is a surgical approach that reinforces the pelvic floor at and inside the introitus. The perineum is elevated, and the perineal body is reconstructed that tightens the vagina and corrects the posterior compartment defects. The downward angle of the vagina that leads to penile pressure against the clitoral complex is corrected, helping in reaching clitoral orgasm.

Since perineorrhaphy vaginal tightening is a surgical procedure, it is very important to consult only an experienced surgeon for the same. You should consult with the doctor about the procedure and the risks involved in the treatment.
