Vaginal Tightening
During life, most women experience decreased vaginal sensation, most commonly with a feeling of a widened vagina. Vaginal laxity, as it is called, is a common complaint among parous women. Although women report that reduced sexual sensation is the most common specific symptom of vaginal laxity.
The goal of these procedures is to reconstruct (or to narrow) the lower third of the vagina, which includes ''the orgasmic platform, internal and external vaginal diameter (introitus) and the perineal body.'' The procedure enhances vaginal muscle tone strength and control, and decreases internal and external vaginal diameters.
In vaginal tightening procedures, portions of mucosa are excised from the vaginal fornices (via scalpel, needle electrode, or laser) to surgically ''tighten'' the lower third of the vagina.
