COSMETIC GYNAECOLOGY
Cosmetic gynaecology is an upcoming sub speciality in the field of gynaecology. The area of special focus not only includes cosmetic procedures to enhance the aesthetic appearance of the vulvo- va**nal region, but also the functional va**nal repairs to enhance or help to restore s*xual function following the changes that may occur due to child birth and / or with aging.
Cosmetic gynaecology fields include two aspects—
1. Non- surgical procedures
2. Surgical procedures
Non- surgical procedures are carried out with the help of Lasers, RF ( Radio Frequency), HIFU or HIFEM machines. These are non invasive, OPD base procedures and anaesthesia is not needed.
The most commonly performed non-surgical procedure in cosmetic gynaecology is in Urinary Incontinence and it is carried out by Laser or HIFU. Urinary Incontinence is a very common problem in the post- menopausal age either due to some hormonal deficiency or following multiple normal va**nal deliveries wherein the bladder neck becomes weak. Thus mild Urinary Incontinence symptoms can successfully be treated with the help of Laser or HIFU.
The next common problem is va**nal laxity. Again this is due to post menopausal status or following normal va**nal deliveries. This is due to some amount of va**nal laxity which again can be treated with Laser or HIFU.
Other problems which can be solved with the help of non- surgical procedures are Post partum toning of pelvic floor after va**nal delivery, Dry va**na, Lichen Sclerosis in post menopausal age, Vaginismus, Dark skin of v***a, decreased Libido or Stress mark reduction etc.
Surgical or Invasive cosmetic procedures include surgeries like Labioplasty, Hymenal reconstruction, va**nal tightening , TOT for severe Urinary Incontinence etc.
