The various type of treatments recommended for a loose vagina are:
1. Non-surgical treatment: The different types of non-surgical treatments include:
a) Kegel exercises: These are pelvic floor muscle exercises that can be performed to tighten a loose vagina.
b) Pelvic tilt exercises: These types of exercises can be performed by standing straight with the butt and shoulders against the wall and pulling the belly button in towards the spine.
c) Creams, gels, and pills: There are several vaginal tightening gels, creams, and pills available in the market that claim to tighten the vaginal wall. But they do not help in relieving any symptoms associated with a loose vagina, like urinary incontinence. It is important to consult your doctor before using any of these products.
d) Vaginal cones: The muscles of the pelvic floor can be strengthened by using a vaginal cone, which is a tampon-sized object that can be inserted into the vagina.
e) Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES): A probe is used in this procedure to send an electric current through the pelvic floor. The electrical stimulation provided causes the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles
f) Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser treatment: This procedure involves inserting a probe into the vagina to heat the vaginal tissue gently and contract the existing collagen fibers to stimulate the production of new collagen.
g) Radio-frequency therapy: The procedure involves the use of a small disposable wand to deliver pain-free radiofrequency energy to heat the vaginal tissue gently, causing little or no discomfort. The procedure helps in the treatment of loose vagina, vaginal dryness, and incontinence, and to improve bladder control.
2. Surgical treatment:
Vaginoplasty: This is a type of surgery performed to tighten a loose vagina. This procedure is done under sedation, local anesthesia, or general anesthesia. It involves either pulling the pelvic floor muscles closer together and removing any excess and loose skin, or a combination of both. This results in a restructured and tighter vagina.
