After vaginally delivering twins over 8 years ago, I just knew that things were "not the same." My vagina felt stretched out, I leaked urine during exercise, and the tightness I had previously felt during intercourse with my husband was gone. It took years to acknowledge that this was a problem that I needed to address. I started with my ob/gyn, who recommended me to a physical therapist. The physical therapist helped me with vaginal exericises, but after 8 months of Kegels I still felt that I was not getting the tightness that I wanted.
I found out about Dr. Lisa Erhard through this website, and I made an appointment. At our first appointment, Dr. Lisa listened to my story and then did the MOST COMPLETE examination I have ever had! She confirmed that vaginal rejuvenation was a good choice for me because the muscles at my posterior vagina had basically been torn apart during childbirth. Listen gals, no matter how many kegels I did, this was not going to change without surgery!
I scheduled the procedure for the next month, and everything was completely explained. Although I was totally nervous, I was also so excited that I was going to change this issue that had been on my mind for years. I felt like I was finally taking charge back of my body.
When the day came for my procedure everything went exactly as it should. I was provided with medications to help manage pain, along with clear instructions for recovery. (Although I was definitely very sore- especially for that first week- my pain was controlled with medication.)
I am now almost 4 months post-procedure and I am so happy I made the choice to see Dr. Lisa and get myself back! I don't have the feeling that my vagina is wide open anymore, I am not leaking urine during exercise (and actively doing Kegels to keep it this way), but most important intercourse is amazing! The tightness and sensation that I remember is back.
If you feel like you should get yourself checked out, please do yourself a favor and do it. I can't believe I waited all this time.
