The candidate for female genital surgery

There are many reasons for women to consider the female genital surgery, but childbirth is the most frequent reason. The pelvic anatomy can be affected during delivery. During delivery different lesions may affect the tissues in the vaginal canal. A mother who has just given birth hardly can notice these changes that she considers as a part of the labor delivery. However, as time passes, the woman may feel unwanted changes in her genital area.

The most frequent alterations resulting from childbirth are associated to pelvic floor damage which may cause genital prolapse (descent of tissues or organs into the vagina), vaginal amplitude, and potential incontinence.

Some pathological conditions of the vagina may also be treated through surgery. In these cases, the vaginal rejuvenation may restore the shape of these areas, permitting greater sensation during the sexual experience. Labia majora may change as women age. Since female genitals are “exposed”, the wearing of tight clothing and certain activities (e.g. riding bicycle) may cause discomfort in patients with sagging labia. But hypertrophy of labia majora can also cause infections, vaginal pH alteration, and skin irritation. Hypertrophy of the labia majora may also affect the woman´s appearance and her way of dressing. Since this is an erogenous zone of sexual arousal, surgery is performed in such a way that the form and the function are preserved.
