Background: The demand for vaginal tightening surgery has increased. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate sexual life satisfaction among patients who had undergone vaginal tightening surgery.
Methods: Patients who had undergone vaginal tightening operations from January 2019 to December 2020 were reviewed. We analyzed the clinical data retrospectively.
Results: A total of 105 patients got vaginal tightening operations. Of these, 102 patients (97.1%) were satisfied with the outcome of this surgery. The main operative indications were perineal appearance and sexual functional unsatisfaction. Of these, two patients (1.9%) had complications of postoperative operative site bleeding, which were recovered with additional simple suture techniques. No serious complications occurred.
Conclusion: Vaginal tightening surgery is a safe and effective operation for improving sexual life and cosmetic perineal appearance.
Keywords: operative indications, vagina, vaginal tightening surgery
