Patient History: The pictures below show a successful professional in her mid 50s who was recently divorced a year earlier. She had suffered traumatic childbirths with lacerations and torn episiotomy, had symptoms of incontinence and pelvic fullness and pressure, and a feeling of constant constipation. Bowel movements gave her a bulge she could both see and feel. She had to push on this bulge coming out of her vagina to complete the emptying of her bowels. Quite bothersome to this lady was the lack of sensation and a very loose feeling during intercourse. She could not feel her partner. Bladder studies showed her to have stress incontinence. She requested pelvic reconstruction and vaginoplasty.
Outcome: Patient resumed a normal and active lifestyle both professionally and personally. She was able to resume intimate relationships about three months after surgery. She felt more friction during intercourse and had a satisfying sex life.
