Vaginoplasty to Decrease Laxity from Childbirth?

I would like to know if vaginoplasty would be a good option for me. 19 yrs ago, I had a difficult vaginal delivery. I was in labor for 56 hours, and pushed for over 6 hours. After delivery, I had over 200 stitches inside and outside of my vagina. I had another vaginal birth 3 years after that one, and then a C-section 12 years ago (she was stuck in the vagina canal).

I have never had a problem until now. I am in good shape: I'm slim and I exercise. I also do my Kegels. Recently, I feel "big" down there--really big. My husband and I have a great sex life until now. When I walk I feel like the air gets in there and like I said, I feel "big." Can someone please help me? I can't stop thinking about it and it's changing my sex life and drive. What do you think?

You may be a candidate for Vaginoplasty

The final decision can only be made after a complete examination From the way you describe the "AIR GETTING THERE" you might be a good candidate for vaginoplasty with muscle repair or tightening.

You need a surgical evalutation

You really need to see a surgeon to determine what your problem may be and what surgery (if any) can help you. From reading your story it is really unclear what is going on.

Sounds like you may need reconstructive surgery

There are many reasons for this and one may be generalized pelvic laxity and perhaps cytocoele, recotcoele or uterine prolapse. You may want to discuss this with your gynecologist but you may need the expertise of a urogynecologist. Given your history of obstetrical trauma, you would be a likely candidate for this condition and may need suspension or other procedures.
