Vaginal laxity is a condition that can result from childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, or previous vaginal surgeries. This condition can negatively affect sexual life quality and psychological health. Symptoms may include decreased sexual satisfaction, communication problems during intercourse, loss of self-confidence, and urinary incontinence.

Vaginal laxity generally occurs due to the loss of vaginal muscle elasticity and the widening of the vaginal canal. Women who have had multiple childbirths, those with low estrogen levels after menopause, or those who have undergone previous vaginal surgery are at higher risk.

Vaginal laxity can affect not only sexual life but also overall daily life quality. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are very important.

The symptoms of vaginal laxity may vary from person to person. The most common symptoms are:

• Reduced Sexual Satisfaction: Loss of vaginal tightness and constriction can decrease pleasure during intercourse.
• Sexual Communication Problems: Pain or discomfort during sexual activity may occur, negatively affecting sexual communication.
• Psychological Distress: Issues such as low self-confidence, shyness, and anxiety may be experienced.
• Urinary Incontinence: Weakening of vaginal muscles can negatively affect bladder control.
• Pelvic Support Deficiency: Vaginal laxity can lead to uterine or bladder prolapse, making daily activities more difficult.

Symptoms can be mild or severe, but intervention is recommended if they reduce quality of life.

The main causes of vaginal laxity are:

• Childbirth: Vaginal muscles stretch and lose elasticity during vaginal delivery. Multiple births increase this effect.
• Aging: As age progresses, vaginal muscles weaken, the vagina may widen, and the feeling of tightness during intercourse decreases.
• Hormonal Changes: Decreased estrogen levels during menopause lead to thinning and weakening of vaginal tissues. This can cause vaginal laxity and vaginal dryness.
• Previous Vaginal Surgeries: Vaginal surgeries may weaken the muscle tissues.
• Genetic Factors and Congenital Conditions: Some women may naturally have weak muscle tissues, resulting in vaginal laxity.

The combination of these factors leads to widening of the vaginal canal and loss of tightness.

The diagnosis of vaginal laxity is made based on the patient’s complaints and a physical examination. The doctor measures the vaginal width, evaluates muscle tone, and inquires about issues experienced during sexual activity.

If necessary, ultrasound or advanced imaging methods are used to examine the vaginal muscle structure and surrounding tissues in detail. This ensures appropriate patient selection for surgery and allows for a personalized treatment plan.

Preoperative preparation is critical for a successful surgery and recovery process.

• Psychological Preparation: Patients are provided with detailed information about the surgical process, recovery, and expectations. Anxiety and concerns are reduced, increasing the patient’s confidence in the surgery.
• Physical Preparation: Pelvic muscle exercises and general health checks are performed. Blood tests, infection screenings, and vaginal hygiene measures are conducted.
• Lifestyle Changes: Smoking, alcohol, and heavy activities are limited before surgery. Balanced nutrition strengthens the immune system and shortens recovery time.
• Physical Exercises: Pelvic floor muscle exercises help ensure faster postoperative recovery and maintain muscle tone.

These preparations enhance surgical success and reduce the recovery period.

The surgery is generally performed in the following steps:

• Administration of Anesthesia: Local or general anesthesia is applied.
• Tightening of the Vaginal Wall: The stretched tissues are corrected, and the vaginal canal is narrowed.
• Placement of Stitches: Stitches are placed to support both aesthetic and functional healing.
• Recovery and Follow-Up: The patient is monitored postoperatively, and physical therapy is applied if necessary.

The procedure usually takes 1–2 hours, and most patients can be discharged on the same day or the following day.

Classic vaginal tightening surgery is a procedure that surgically corrects vaginal laxity. During the surgery, vaginal wall tissues are tightened, and the vaginal canal is narrowed. This procedure enhances the feeling of vaginal tightness and constriction, improving sexual life quality.

The natural anatomical structure is not harmed during the surgery. Stitches are placed to support healing and maintain aesthetic appearance. Minimally invasive surgical techniques accelerate the postoperative recovery process.

• Rest: Rest is recommended for the first few days, and heavy activities should be avoided.
• Pain and Discomfort: Mild pain is normal and managed with prescribed pain relievers.
• Sexual Activity: Usually safe to resume 4–6 weeks after surgery with doctor approval.
• Stitches and Hygiene: Stitches may be absorbable or removed during a follow-up examination; hygiene is important.
• Physical Exercise: Pelvic floor exercises help maintain muscle tone and accelerate recovery.

Postoperative follow-up is critical for preventing possible complications and ensuring complete healing.

• Increased Sexual Satisfaction: Vaginal tightening enhances pleasure during intercourse.
• Reduction of Sexual Communication Problems: Pain and discomfort during sexual activity decrease.
• Reduction of Psychological Distress: Self-confidence improves, and feelings of shyness and anxiety are reduced.
• Reduced Risk of Urinary Incontinence: Strengthening vaginal muscles supports bladder control.
• Improved Pelvic Support: Strengthened vaginal muscles decrease the risk of uterine and bladder prolapse.

After surgery, vaginal muscles are strengthened, and the canal tightness increases, improving both sexual life and overall daily life quality.

• Increased Sexual Satisfaction: Vaginal tightness and constriction improve, enhancing pleasure during intercourse.
• Psychological Improvement: Self-confidence and self-esteem increase, leading to a healthier sexual life.
• Daily Life Quality: Urinary control and vaginal support are enhanced.
• Long-Term Success: Regular follow-ups ensure the durability of the results.

After surgery, patients feel better both physically and psychologically, and their sexual life becomes more satisfying compared to before.

Is the surgery painful?
Anesthesia is applied during the surgery, so you will not feel pain. Mild discomfort may occur during the recovery period and is managed with prescribed pain relievers.

How long is the recovery period?
Full recovery usually takes 4–6 weeks, but factors such as age, overall health, and vaginal tissue elasticity can affect the duration.

When is it safe to resume sexual activity?
With doctor approval, sexual activity is generally safe 4–6 weeks after surgery. This timing may vary depending on the condition of the stitches and the speed of recovery.

Is there a risk of complications?
Infections, bleeding, or stitch-related issues are rare. Regular follow-up minimizes these risks.

How often should I perform exercises after surgery?
Pelvic floor exercises are recommended daily. Regular exercise maintains muscle tone and accelerates the recovery process.
