Laser Vaginal (Tightening) Rejuvenation It is well documented in the medical literature that having children naturally can lead to an increase incidence of vaginal relaxation. When this relaxation becomes severe doctors refer to this as prolapse. Dr. Miklos's & Dr. Moore's comprehensive website: www.tvtsling.com is dedicated to various types of vaginal prolapse and their associated symptoms. This website remains the largest website in the world dedicated to urogynecologic and vaginal relaxation conditions. However, many patients especially younger patients who have had children may begin to experience vaginal relaxation early on. Though they may not have any prominent symptoms such as: pressure, painful intercourse, bulging from the vagina, they do voice their concern that they no longer experience the same pleasure they once did with intercourse. Consistently these women all say the same thing, "my vagina is too loose", "I have less friction during intercourse" or "I just don't feel anything during sex". Sexual gratification for the female according to Masters and Johnson is directly related to the amount of frictional forces generated. Improve Your Sexual Experience Most of these women attribute their problems to childbirth. They can remember what "it used to be like" prior to having children. They often tell the doctor that "sex is just not the same" because "I feel stretched out". Women with these conditions can make these statements because they have a point of reference or something to compare it to, they can remember what it used to be like and how it is different now. Many of these women explain that it is often takes longer to have orgasms since they feel less friction and some of these patients can't have orgasms at all (despite them previously and still having the same partner). Despite telling their personal physicians including Ob/Gyn, other primary care physicians, and health care providers that Kegel exercises i.e. pelvic floor exercises just do NOT work! Many patients tell us that my doctor says this is normal or it is a normal part of aging or more arrogantly "there is nothing wrong with you"---No one is listening ....Until now !! A small group of surgeons through out the world do understand there is a problem because in the majority of cases the patient's anatomy has changed. The patients are experiencing the first symptoms of vaginal/pelvic floor prolapse i.e. relaxation Vaginal Rejuvenation can be the answer to your problem. Vaginal Tightening Most patients who complain of diminished sensation or friction during intercourse and have no other symptoms such as vaginal bulging, pressure, painful intercourse can have a one hour surgical procedure designed to enhance friction during intercourse. Vaginal rejuvenation will effectively enhance the tautness and tightness of the vaginal walls by decreasing the vaginal diameter. However, the surgical technique required for each individual patient varies depending upon the amount and type of vaginal relaxation found. Of interest to many patients is vaginal rejuvenation is NOT considered a medical necessity and therefore insurance companies will not pay for sexual enhancement surgery unless there is a medical diagnosis prevalent for your condition. Most cosmetic vaginal surgeon’s i.e. vaginal rejuvenation specialists will not accept any insurance for the surgery, anesthesia, operating rooms or any of the ancillary services. Dr. Miklos & Dr. Moore have found that approx 90% of patients who desire vaginal tightening actually have medical indications for the surgery. This indication is known as vaginal prolapse (aka relaxation). Symptomatic prolapse comes in many forms including: vaginal vault prolapse, cystocele, rectocele, enterocele and urethroceles. Patients with symptomatic prolapse also tend to have diminished sensation with intercourse. Fixing the prolapse usually enhances the friction at the time of intercourse. Learn more about prolapse and their surgical treatment at the world wide webs most comprehensive website www.tvtsling.com If on examination it is determined that your condition is a medical necessity, then the insurance company will usually bear SOME of the cost of surgery, as well as the anesthesia fee, operating room expense and ancillary services. Approximately 90% of patients going to surgery with Dr. Miklos & Dr. Moore will be able to utilize their insurance for SOME COVERAGE of the costs of surgery. There is no way of knowing whether your condition is considered a medical necessity unless you have a thorough exam by a competent physician first. Most other vaginal rejuvenation centers do NOT utilize insurance in any form or manner to help in the payment surgery for the enhancement of sexual friction. RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
