Vaginismus Surgery

Vaginismus surgery is a minor procedure for women whose vaginismus is severe or has not improved with other treatments. Depending on your health and needs, the surgery for vaginismus may include:

• Releasing restrictive hymenal tissue
• Treating scar tissue or anatomical tightness
• Reducing pelvic floor hypertonicity
• Botox injections to temporarily relax the muscles

Vaginimus surgery reduces the muscle contractions, making penetration easy, and restores normal sexual and gynecological health. For the best results, the surgery is often combined with guided dilation and pelvic floor therapy.

You might be a good candidate for vaginismus surgery if you:

• Have primary or secondary vaginismus that affects sexual intercourse, tampon use, or gynecological exams.
• Have tried conservative treatments without sufficient improvement
• Experience severe anxiety, pain, or burning during attempted penetration.
• There are anatomical restrictions contributing to the condition.
• Need a long-term solution with medically guided support.
• Are physically healthy and emotionally ready for treatment

A consultation with our women’s health specialists at CosmeSurge will help determine if this approach is right for you.

Vaginismus surgery can bring important changes, such as:

• Greater comfort and reduced pain during penetration
• Improved vaginal muscle relaxation
• More predictable results compared to non-surgical therapy alone.
• Better sexual confidence and quality of life
• Ability to undergo gynecological exams and tampon use without fear
• Complete support after surgery from therapists and women’s health experts

Vaginismus surgery is usually done as a day procedure with local or general anesthesia. The treatment may involve:

1. Personalized pre-surgery consultation

Your doctor will review your symptoms, medical history, and any previous treatments you have tried. You may also meet a pelvic floor therapist to help you get ready for recovery.

2. Surgical steps

Depending on your condition, the surgeon may:

• Remove or release tight hymenal or vaginal tissue.
• Address scar tissue from previous infections or trauma.
• Inject Botox to relax the pelvic floor muscles.
• Gently dilate the vaginal opening.

The surgery usually takes 30 to 60 minutes and is minimally invasive.

3. Post-surgery guidance

Almost 90% of women find relief and comfortable vaginal penetration within 8 to 12 weeks. After the surgery, you should learn to use vaginal dilators. Our pelvic health physiotherapist will guide you through a personalized dilation plan, teach you specific relaxation techniques, and help you practice pelvic floor exercises to maintain your results.

Most people recover quickly and can return to light activities within one to two days.

Common aftercare recommendations:

• Use prescribed medications to reduce discomfort.
• Continue gentle vaginal dilation as advised.
• Attend pelvic floor physiotherapy sessions.
• Avoid sexual intercourse or tampon use until cleared by your doctor.
• Keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.

Most people fully recover and notice steady improvement within four to six weeks.
