Most of you will probably not talk about the following topics in small talk in the office or in the living room.
Yes, dear women, this time we wanted to talk to you about the vulva area, the vagina and the fact that there are changes in it following childbirth, age and more.
Dr. Amos Shapira, director of "Layoft - the Israeli Center for Vaginal Plastic Surgery" and director of the vulvar and vaginal plastic surgery unit at Atidim Hospital, explains that in recent years there has been a dramatic increase in the number of women applying for vulvar and vaginal surgery.
According to him, "Over 20 years ago, Viagra was discovered, which revolutionized the sex life of many couples. Men who suffered from problems with sexual function, due to medical problems or performance anxiety, returned to full function. In contrast, the women, who also experienced various changes in sexual function, realized Because they too can improve their sex life by improving the appearance and function of the vagina and vulva."
What, then, are the most recognized problems in the field?
Dr. Shapira details and explains about the accepted methods of treatment:
The problem: birth defects
Anyone who has had a vaginal birth knows that beyond the great joy that the birth process brings, it is a medical process whose consequences sometimes last days, months and even years after the birth of the baby.
During childbirth, before the baby is born, an episiotomy is sometimes performed.
Suturing the cut may cause a painful and unsightly scar.
Also, there are women who complain about the expansion of the vagina after childbirth, which naturally affects the level of friction and their sex life.
This phenomenon may also cause the swelling phenomenon - vaginal wind - during intercourse, which is accompanied by the sound of swelling caused by the abnormal level of friction, which causes discomfort.
The solution:
nowadays it is very easy to repair the perineal buffer area and narrow the entrance to the vagina through a short surgical procedure.
The problem: change in pigmentation in the anus area
Due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, pigmentation changes occur in the anus.
Hemorrhoids may also appear in the area.
After the birth, the rectal area remains dark in color and the disappearance of the hemorrhoids leaves small pieces of skin - skin tags - in the area, which cause physical and aesthetic discomfort.
The solution:
the dark shade can be removed by a medical process called anal bleaching.
The problem: unaesthetic appearance of the labia
A well-known phenomenon, unrelated to childbirth and pregnancy, is dissatisfaction with the appearance of the labia majora (outer) and labia minora (inner).
The solution:
a simple surgical repair with which the labia can be reshaped and adapted to the desired appearance.
The problem: accumulation of fatty tissue in the area above the vulva
Mons pubis is an accumulation of fatty tissue in the area above the vulva.
This phenomenon is also caused after a drastic weight loss, and leaves excess fatty tissue in the area above the labia called "Venus hill".
The solution:
liposuction from the area in question.
The problem: an incomplete hymen
In various sectors where free sex before marriage is seen as a negative act, the chances of women who are not virgins to establish a relationship after the removal of the hymen are harmed.
The solution:
surgery to fuse the hymen which leads to the desired bleeding during intercourse on the wedding day.
"Surgeries to repair the vaginal and vulva area are available and safe," concludes Dr. Shapira.
An aesthetic improvement of the area leads to an improvement in sexual function, an increase in confidence and self-image, and comfort."
