A sequel of difficult childbirth or a vaginal/perineal tear from childbirth can create an unusually “open” vaginal orifice, which can lead to irritation from tight clothing, self-consciousness and diminished sexual enjoyment.

A plastic procedure to remove the scarred or lax opening, repair and elevate the perineum and bring the stretched levator muscles closer together is called perineoplasty.

Perineoplasty produces a normal approximation of the lax vaginal opening and elevates and tightens the muscles so that you can use Kegels exercises or Athena™ more effectively to provide more sensation and “gripability” at the vaginal opening.
