• Congenital abnormalities: Some women are born with conditions that affect the development of their genitalia, such as vaginal agenesis or cloacal anomalies.


• Trauma or injury: Women who have experienced trauma or injury to their genitalia may require vaginoplasty to restore function and aesthetics.


• Gender confirmation: Vaginoplasty is often performed as part of gender confirmation surgery for transgender women.


• Sexual function: Vaginoplasty can help improve sexual function for women who experience discomfort or pain during intercourse.

Vaginoplasty Procedure

The vaginoplasty procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia, and may take several hours to complete. The exact technique used will depend on the individual needs and goals of the patient, but generally involves the following steps:

• Creation of the vaginal canal: The surgeon will create a vaginal canal using existing tissue or skin grafts, and may use a dilator to help maintain the shape and size of the canal during the healing process.


• Clitoral hood reconstruction: If desired, the surgeon may also perform clitoral hood reconstruction to enhance sexual function and aesthetics.


• Labiaplasty: The surgeon may also perform labiaplasty to reduce the size or asymmetry of the labia majora and labia minora.

Recovery and Results

After vaginoplasty, patients will need to take several weeks to recover. During this time, they will need to avoid strenuous activity and sexual intercourse to allow the tissues to heal properly. Patients can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort during the initial recovery period, but these symptoms can be managed with pain medication and other supportive care measures.

The results of vaginoplasty can be dramatic and life-changing for many women. Patients can expect to experience improved sexual function, enhanced self-esteem, and a better quality of life following the procedure. Contact Dr. Subhash Center for Plastic Surgery in Kakinada
