Vaginal Tightening
Vaginal tightening is a surgical procedure that tightens loose muscles of the vagina caused by childbirth, age, or hormonal reasons. This procedure promises to restore the strength and elasticity of the vaginal muscles, thereby enabling a better climax, better lubrication and pleasurable intercourse. Vaginal tightening is known to relieve problems like vaginal dryness and stress urinary incontinence, leading to increased confidence in women.

Women who give birth normally through the vagina:- Due to the muscles in the pelvic area and the muscles around the vagina being stretched to a great extent, the tightness of the vagina will be lost. As time goes on, the tightness returns but not to the previous birth conditions. If the woman feels that the tightness has not returned or the vagina is still loose and unable to feel the climax, she may opt for this procedure.
Aged Women:- As we age, estrogen levels decline. Especially for postmenopausal women. This results in dryness in the vaginal area and they feel difficulty and pain during intercourse.
Loss of sexual satisfaction:- Loss of vaginal elasticity and strength results in unsatisfying and painful intercourse. A reduction in the tightness of the genital walls reduces friction and sensation during sexual activity. Problems such as vaginal dryness and vaginal itching associated with a loose vagina can also make intercourse more uncomfortable and unpleasant for both women and their partners.
Urinary stress incontinence:- Loss of strength in the pelvic and vaginal muscles leads to loss of control over the bladder and urethral muscles. This can cause leakage of urine and is medically known as stress incontinence, which is another consequence of a loose vagina. Due to stress urinary incontinence, a slight pressure on the bladder can cause urine to leak, which can put you in very uncomfortable situations.
