Vaginal Tightening (Posterior Colporaphy)

Many women experience changes in their intimate area after childbirth or with increasing age. The tissue loses its elasticity, the vagina may feel wider than before—often associated with a feeling of “not being the same as before.”

This can have very different effects: Some women experience reduced sensitivity during sexual intercourse. Others suffer from a feeling of pressure or a foreign body sensation, or notice that sports and everyday activities become more uncomfortable. This often leads to feelings of shame, which can affect self-confidence and also have an impact on relationships.

A vaginal tightening (posterior colporhaphy) can help restore the natural balance. It gives many patients a new body image, more self-confidence, and the opportunity to enjoy intimacy freely and carefree once again.
