What Is The Truth About Vaginal Rejuvenation?

Posted on

You have likely heard of vaginal rejuvenation but might have some questions about it. There is a lot of misinformation out there about the procedure and its results. To help you with determining if vaginal rejuvenation is right for you, here is the truth about a few myths you heard about the procedure:

Vaginal Rejuvenation Is Only Beneficial for Male Partners

Some people mistakenly believe that the only person who benefits from the procedure is the male partner of the woman. However, the procedure is more about the woman's own sexual pleasure, self-esteem, and health improvement.

The procedure can help women who are experiencing elasticity and dryness problems as a result of aging. This can lead to a better sexual experience for both partners. In addition to this, the procedure can help with medical problems, such as incontinence.

The Procedure Is Painful

Although vaginal rejuvenation sounds as if it would be a painful procedure to undergo, it is pain-free. The procedure is painless enough that your doctor will likely not use an anesthetic. It does not require going to the hospital to complete.

Your doctor can perform the procedure in his or her office. You might experience a small amount of discomfort during the procedure due to the heat of the laser, but it is not enough to require a numbing agent.

Recovery Can Take Months

Some women hesitate to undergo vaginal rejuvenation because they believe it will take months to recover. However, this is not true. There is a recovery period, but you will likely be able to resume your regular activities within a few days.

The recovery is not too difficult either. You will have to use ice packs in the first couple of days to help minimize swelling. After a few days, you are free to return to your normal routine as long as the incisions are not impacted.

There are some activities that you will have to refrain from longer though. For instance, your doctor will recommend that you do not use tampons or have sexual intercourse until your recovery period has completed. Once the period has passed, you should not have any other restrictions.

Your doctor can provide additional information about vaginal rejuvenation and conduct an assessment to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Once you have the right information about the procedure, you can decide if having it is right for you.
