Vaginal rejuvenation restored my self-esteem.

For many years, I had been self-conscious about my body. As a wife and mother in my early forties, my body changed after childbirth and I didn’t realize how much until my husband had pointed it out. I was devastated hearing my insecurities come out of my husband’s mouth, and I knew it was time for a change.

I was curious if there was even a procedure that could help me. My sister worked in an OB/GYN office and she told me there are gynecologists who specialize in surgeries to repair and restore the vagina. I’d always assumed I would need a surgeon but hearing that there are providers who have the expertise to perform vaginal rejuvenation was a huge relief.

I started to research all my options and found RealSelf.com, a website where I could see aesthetic procedure ratings and even reviews from patients who have received treatments. The website also showed me the providers who specialize in these treatments.

After doing some research, I found Dr. Michael Litrel of Vaginal Health Center on RealSelf and discovered vaginal rejuvenation appeared as a strong option. Dr. Litrel’s reviews were fantastic, as well as his before and after photos and patient testimonials. And of course, he has extensive experience with vaginal rejuvenation surgery. I also read he is a double board-certified urogynecologist, a subspecialty in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS). All this information looked great, and I knew I needed to reach Vaginal Health Center for more information.

I was nervous to make the first step, but I called Dr. Litrel’s office and spoke with the surgery scheduler.  We spoke more than once because I had a lot of questions. All my questions were answered, and I felt ready to schedule a consult with Dr. Litrel to see if this was the right move for me. I remember still feeling nervous, but after Dr. Litrel heard my insecurities he assured me what I was going through was normal. His re-assurance and experience put my worries at ease.

Dr. Litrel explained that for some women, like me, my body after childbirth doesn’t return to 100%. During a vaginal delivery, the vagina and vaginal stretches and typically return to pre-pregnancy size, but not for every woman. This was a huge relief, and I knew I had hope. My decision was made, and I knew I was in the best hands.

My vaginal rejuvenation was a success! The day after my surgery was pretty rough, but Dr. Litrel prepared me for the discomfort. The pain deescalated as each day passed, and by the fourth day, the pain and pressure were gone. Since I work a desk job, I was back to work six days after my surgery. My healing schedule was right on track, and I was hoping to be healed completely in time for my upcoming cruise with my husband. I was so excited!

I was healed completely ten weeks after my procedure, and sex with my husband was amazing. We decided to wait until our cruise to have sex again. I was curious and kind of nervous for the first time, and I wondered how it would feel. Honestly, I felt almost like I did pre-baby, and my husband said he could tell a huge difference too.

Before my procedure, I had a hard time reaching orgasm. But now, I have multiple ones in each session! Even though recovery wasn’t all easy, gaining my self-esteem back is well worth it. On top of feeling desirable again, I no longer have to worry about leaking urine after I sneeze. Just another benefit from my procedure I didn’t expect! I can honestly say that vaginal rejuvenation has revived my marriage.

I have never had a doctor like Dr. Litrel and I am so grateful for him. After my surgery, he checked on me constantly and made sure I had no worries. He made sure I was always comfortable and patiently answered every question I had. I would encourage anyone to have this procedure that is experiencing any of the insecurities I had. I highly recommend vaginal rejuvenation at Vaginal Health Center!
