From a gynecological perspective, it is completely normal for the tissue in the intimate area to change over the course of a woman's life. Factors such as vaginal births, hormonal changes during menopause, or a natural loss of elasticity in the connective tissue can lead to a weakening of the vaginal muscles, slackening of the tissue, and drier mucous membranes. This affects not only sexual experience but also everyday functions such as bladder and pelvic floor function. Many patients report reduced sexual desire, insecurity during exercise, or even mild incontinence in this context.

Treatment options

Surgical procedures

In some cases, such as pronounced tissue weakness or anatomical changes following multiple births, surgical intervention may be advisable and necessary. This allows for targeted tightening of the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissue, or the removal of excess skin. These procedures are individually tailored to the patient's anatomical characteristics and wishes.
