Why is Vaginal Reconstruction Needed

Any woman whose vaginal region has been altered by birth or otherwise may benefit from a vaginal reconstructive surgery. Vaginal reconstruction surgery can assist with the bulging of the rectum into the vagina (rectocele) or bulging of the bladder into the vagina (cystocele). As a result of this surgery it may also approve appearance.

What to Expect With Vaginal Reconstruction Surgery

With vaginal reconstruction surgery , there are three basic steps: pre-surgery, the surgery itself, and post-surgery. Before the surgery, you will undergo an assessment to determine for the surgeon what approach or approaches he will take, as well as to cover all of the various risks and benefits with the surgery. The ultimate goal is to enhance the quality of life for women.

The surgery itself and what exactly happens will be unique and specific for each woman. There may be the removal of some skin, there might be the use of stitches, it may involve removing excess tissue or abnormal structures, as well as other needed procedures. After the surgery the doctor can provide a more detailed explanation of what happened and why the various procedures were done.

There is a short recovery period post-surgery. The recovery time typically ranges between 6-8 weeks for exercise and sexual intercourse, however most other daily activities can be resumed within a day or two. Your doctor will explain the postsurgical care needed for your situation and when you can engage in normal activities.
