“It healed”… but it doesn’t feel the same.
Many women experience lasting changes to the perineum after childbirth, especially following tears or an episiotomy. While healing is expected, some women continue to notice:
* A feeling of vaginal openness
* Discomfort during intimacy
* Tender scar tissue
* Difficulty with hygiene
* Changes in confidence
A perineoplasty is one option to restore the perineum and vaginal opening for women with persistent symptoms—but it’s not the right solution for everyone.
At Renewal Gynecology, we discuss the full spectrum of care, including pelvic floor physical therapy, hormone therapy when appropriate, regenerative treatments, and surgical repair when indicated.
You don’t have to simply accept that “this is just how it is after childbirth.” *xualwellness
