Vaginal Tightening, Kegel Exercises and Vaginal Spas
A spa experience is healthy but sometimes threatening to a woman. Exfoliating with bristly salt scrubs feels nice, but it can go as far as the – bottom. Self-tanners can be applied to your whole body, and that includes the breasts. Sometimes, even though a bit expensive, still we pay for the relaxation that spas could provide, and while relaxing, a person unknown to you cleaves hot wax between those legs of yours. And then, there came a “medspa” dedicated exclusively to the genital parts of women. Famously known as Phit or Pelvic Health Integrated Techniques, we asked its founding doctor Lauri Romanzi, MD to satisfy my curiosity.
The main reason for Phit is “pelvic fitness”. Kegel exercise is a great help for the control of urine and sexual satisfaction by strengthening the floor of the pelvic area. Since this concept is somewhat new and there are few opportunities for women to be educated about this, that’s when Phit came in. Aimed at training women control their urinary activity and have better satisfaction in bed is what we are after here. Says Romanzi. Not only that, aside from training in kegel exercises they provide Phit also offers (although a bit heavy on the pocket) laser remedies for the smoothing of cellulite up to the skin of the vagina’s outer labia. Well, pretty barbie down there must be pretty too. But we are not yet done, here comes another – labiaplasty and the vaginal tightening or recontouring the inner labia through surgery.
Vaginal tightening and vaginal rejuvenation is getting increasingly popular, proof is that in the US alone, more than four thousand operations had been carried out by professional medical practitioners. Well, compared to the almost half a million operations done for breast augmentations and liposuction, it is nothing. However, it caught the interest of of the American College of Health care professionals and Gynecologists (ACOG), prompting them to say that the procedures are not “medically indicated”. ACOG also issued a statement saying that there is no enough data to support the claims of the procedures as well as its implications. However, for Lawrence Reed MD, a New York based plastic surgeon, physical discomfort caused by friction can be relieved by re-shaping or through labiaplasty. Proof is, he performs this procedure at an average of twenty per year.
Since more women removes hair from their crotches, they are now seeing those that are unseen before Romanzi added. Well, as many women are getting to the extremes with their genetalia, I can stick with my daily Kegels routine for my own vaginal tightening. How about you?
