For most women, the primary cause of changes in vaginal tissue is the process of pregnancy and childbirth. Welcoming a child into the world places enormous strain on your body, causing changes in your vagina that can linger long after your little one arrives.

Loss of vaginal tightness or vaginal laxity is common among women who are mothers. It can decrease sensations during sex and change the level of satisfaction you have from sexual intimacy.

Vaginal changes can also occur as a result of hormonal shifts during menopause. Many women find they create less vaginal lubrication as they age, making sex uncomfortable or even painful.

Urinary incontinence can also occur due to changes in vaginal tissue. Far too many women accept these changes as inevitable when there are treatments that can help.

Vaginal revitalization is a term that describes treatments that improve vaginal tightness, lubrication, or appearance. There are many different approaches to choose from at Washington OB-GYN & Washington Wellness.

V-shot

The V-shot is an injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) sourced from your blood that stimulates your body’s natural ability to regenerate cells. It revitalizes vaginal tissue to improve lubrication, sensation, and overall sexual health.

Laser and radiofrequency therapies

Laser and radiofrequency therapies can deliver impressive results without the same risks and recovery time as surgery. These treatments stimulate your body to produce new collagen, which plumps and tightens vaginal tissue and improves vaginal lubrication.

Surgical vaginoplasty

Surgical vaginoplasty is a procedure that can dramatically improve vaginal tightness, but it does require a recovery period.

Labiaplasty

Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to improve the appearance of your external genitalia. There are also laser and radiofrequency-based options for reducing the size of your labia.

Many revitalization techniques that use laser or radiofrequency energy require no anesthesia or advanced preparation and no significant recovery time. Surgical techniques may require local anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.

A degree of tenderness and swelling is normal after vaginal revitalization, but your body quickly adjusts. You should refrain from sexual activity as the healing process takes place, and you may receive medication to reduce the risk of infection or control your discomfort.
