What is Vaginal Tightening (Vaginoplasty)?
Enlargement of the vagina can occur in many women as they age and undergo interventions such as pregnancy and vaginal delivery. Vaginal enlargement can both affect sexual life and increase the incidence of vaginal infections. Complaints such as gas coming out of the vagina can be seen. For this reason, many women prefer vaginoplasty.
Why Does the Vagina Enlarge?
The vagina, which is the organs where women perform their basic body functions, is 9 cm long on average. This average length of the vagina can vary between 8 and 10 cm.
Vaginal enlargement is very common in menopause and after normal births. Estrogen hormone, which is actively secreted during the fertile period, helps to strengthen the muscle and connective tissues in the pelvic structures. However, due to the decrease in estrogen levels after the menopause period, the strength in this pelvic region is lost. Due to normal delivery, loosening of the muscle and connective tissues in the vaginal area causes the vagina to expand.
