Advice
There are loads of things that make a person feel good about their body, even though some of them are topics we tend to avoid. Intimacy is an integral part of feminine well-being, it impacts a person’s self-confidence, comfort and the way they view their body. Being an incredibly personal subject, it’s time to talk about vaginoplasties without any taboo.
Vaginoplasties are rarely spoken about openly, as the topic causes a fair amount of discomfort. It’s an extremely personal procedure that allows people to be more comfortable with intimacy and even feel more at ease in their body, yet it’s often shrouded in judgement.
What Is a Vaginoplasty?
Without going into the complicated technical details, a vaginoplasty is a type of surgical intervention that may be undertaken when a woman experiences difficulties, discomfort or a loss of tonicity in the vagina.
There are numerous reasons that people decide to undergo such a procedure. It’s not necessarily just to change the way their body looks, it can also be to rediscover pleasant sensations and have a more peaceful relationship to one’s intimacy.
Why Some Women Consider Getting a Vaginoplasty
Each woman has their own reasons for considering a vaginoplasty. After giving birth, or due to personally feeling like something has changed down there. More discomfort, less sensations, sometimes a general unease that’s hard to describe but very present.
It’s not always an aesthetic choice. It can also be about feeling better in your body, feeling more at peace, or even reconciling with a part of you that tends to be pushed to one side.
An Intimate, Yet Not Superficial Subject
As soon as the topic of changing the female body comes into the conversation, many people have the same thought: it’s futile, unnecessary or just not important. Although when it comes to intimacy, comfort and how you feel are super important factors.
Feeling uncomfortable, less at ease, constrained by your body, none of this is inconsequential. Wanting to improve your intimate life isn’t ridiculous. On the contrary, it can contribute to your overall well-being, on the condition that the choice is yours alone.
Are There Any Alternatives to Surgery?
Before resorting to surgical intervention, there are some things you can do to increase perineal tonicity and improve comfort during intimacy:
- Kegel exercises: this consists of contracting then relaxing the pelvic muscles in order to gradually build up strength. They’re often recommended after giving birth or in cases where muscle tone is reduced.
- Perineal rehabilitation: this is done with a health professional, whose goal is to help you have better control and muscle tonicity in the perineal region.
- Ben Wa balls: these accessories activate the pelvic muscles when inserted, and can also contribute to reinforcing the muscles in the perineum when used regularly.
- Low intensity sports: things like yoga, Pilates or other sports that focus on core strength can help to tone the pelvic area.
Although these approaches can’t replace a vaginoplasty when it’s required in the case of a serious anatomical issue, they can be interesting alternatives for women looking to improve muscle tone in the pelvic region without resorting to surgery.
Make Sure the Decision Is Yours
This is an essential point. Such an intimate undertaking should never be dictated by outside opinions, pressure or unrealistic beauty standards. There’s no ideal female body, especially when it comes to intimacy.
However, if a woman feels the need to alter something in order to feel more at ease in their body, then they have the right to do so, without judgement.
Vaginoplasty isn’t a ‘trend’, nor is it a topic that we should avoid discussing. Above all, it’s a personal, intimate topic that can be linked to the search for comfort and well-being.
There’s no need to overdo the conversation. Simply talking about it like any other normal conversation and reminding people that part of feminine well-being is also feeling confident in those intimate moments too.
