Vaginal rejuvenation

[panamania79 2]

There is a doctor in Providence who does the operation and he is forever adverising it on 100.3 Latina FM.I wonder if he has people who want to do the operation.

Going under the knife is just crazy, IMO...

Kegel exercises: Who can benefit

Pregnancy, childbirth, excess weight, chronic coughing and just getting older can all take a toll on your pelvic floor muscles. So can a genetic predisposition to weak connective tissue. When your pelvic floor muscles weaken, your pelvic organs descend and bulge into your #######, a condition known as uterine or vaginal prolapse. The effects of pelvic organ prolapse range from uncomfortable pelvic pressure to leakage of urine or feces. Fortunately, Kegel exercises can strengthen pelvic muscles and delay or maybe even prevent pelvic organ prolapse.

Kegel exercises are also recommended during pregnancy. Well-toned pelvic floor muscles may make you more comfortable as your due date approaches. You may be less likely to develop urine leakage and hemorrhoids — both common near the end of pregnancy and prone to persist long after you've given birth.

Finally, Kegel exercises — along with counseling and sex therapy — may be helpful to women who have persistent problems reaching orgasm.

Find the right muscles

To make sure you know how to contract your pelvic floor muscles, try to stop the flow of urine while you're going to the bathroom. If you succeed, you've got the basic move. Or try another technique: Insert a finger inside your ####### and try to squeeze the surrounding muscles. You should be able to feel your ####### tighten and your pelvic floor move upward. Then relax your muscles and feel your pelvic floor move down to the starting position. As your muscles become stronger — and you become more experienced with the exercises — this movement will be more pronounced.

A cautionary note: Don't make a habit of starting and stopping your urine stream. Doing Kegel exercises with a full bladder or while emptying your bladder can actually weaken the muscles. It can also lead to incomplete emptying of the bladder, which increases your risk of a urinary tract infection.

If you're having trouble finding the right muscles, don't be embarrassed to ask your doctor for help. He or she can provide important feedback so that you learn to isolate and exercise the correct muscles.

Perfect your technique

Once you've identified your pelvic floor muscles, empty your bladder and get into a sitting or standing position. Then firmly tense your pelvic floor muscles. Try it at frequent intervals for five seconds at a time, four or five times in a row. Work up to keeping the muscles contracted for 10 seconds at a time, relaxing for 10 seconds between contractions.

Be careful not to flex the muscles in your abdomen, thighs or buttocks. To get the maximum benefit, focus on tightening only your pelvic floor muscles. Also, try not to hold your breath. Just relax, breathe freely and focus on tightening the muscles around your ####### and rectum.

Repeat three times a day

Perform a set of 10 Kegel exercises at least three times a day. The exercises will get easier the more often you do them. You might make a practice of fitting in a set every time you do a routine task, such as checking e-mail or commuting to work.

You can also vary your technique. Try doing sets of mini-Kegels. Count quickly to 10 or 20, contracting and relaxing your pelvic floor muscles each time you say a number. Or slow it down, gradually contracting and releasing your pelvic floor muscles one time. As you contract, visualize an elevator traveling up four floors. At each floor, contract your muscles a little more until you reach maximum contraction at the fourth floor. Hold the contraction and then slowly release the tension as you visualize the elevator traveling back down. Repeat 10 times.

Some doctors recommend exercising the pelvic floor muscles with weighted vaginal cones about the size of tampons. By contracting your pelvic floor muscles, you hold the weight in place in your #######. Start with a light weight and gradually work up to a heavier one.

That's ridiculous.

[Peikko 1,575]

The excercises????

I swear by Kegel! Kegel, Kirche, Kuche!

Hank Moody: Well, your breasts are obviously real... and... eh... you have an abundance

of pubic hair, which is really nice and... eh... there's no evidence of vaginal rejuvenation

[Peikko 1,575]

Of course, you meant the operation...whatever floats your boat.

[MissStacey 1]

What exactly does the operation do? I didn't see a link on what Vaginal Rejuvenation is.

The name 'rejuvenation' is bloody misleading.

[panamania79 2]

That's ridiculous.

I agree.I just couldn't stop laughing when I heard it advertised on the radio.

I have read that it makes one a virgin again.

Really? I thought it was more like a "face lift" down under.

Isn't it always?

How silly. I suppose since that can't claim that it would enhance a woman's pleasure, they imply that will bring them back their youth. Plastic surgeons are like the used car salesman of the auto industry.

[MissStacey 1]

Nah- Not gonna do it.

I love my ####### the way it is.

[Kazan' Tiger 1]

I sort of like loose and broken in. Just like a comfy pair of leather slippers.

I think with vaginal reconstruction they tighten things back up. A hymenoplasty is when they redo the hymen. One of the bodies in my anatomy class had a prolapsed uterus, SO cool! Would suck for marital relations though
