After vaginoplasty there is a risk of vaginal stenosis or vaginal shrinking.
The vaginal expander may reduce this risk.
Starting 8-15 days after surgery, the practitioner mayadvise a patient to start douching using a non-scented vaginal douche at least1-2 times per week, depending on the amount of vaginal discharge experienced.If the patient notices she is having a lot of vaginal discharge, it is recommendedto increase the douching schedule.
It is also very important to keep the external vaginadry. The patient can place an absorptive pad between the vaginal lips to absorbexcess moisture.
The patient can have sexual intercourse 1 to 2 months after the vaginoplasty treatment ends, unless she experiences a lot of bleeding or pain. It is important that the patient feels comfortable when having sexual intercourse. It is recommended that she talks to her sexual partner about changes and side-effects that she experiences.
Measure the length of the vagina. Choose the length of the device:
90 mm or 120 mm. Open the packaging. Don’t use sharp tool.
Insert the device in the vagina.
Fill the device with water or saline solution and clamp.
90 mm = 100 ml
120 mm = 130 ml
Unclamp, empty the device and remove it.
The cuff is inflated. The urethra is compressed. The patient is continent.
When the patient wants to urinate, he squeezes and releases the pump located in the scrotum.
The pump deflates the cuff. The urethra is no more compressed. The patient can urinate. The bladder is emptied.
After 2 to 3 minutes, the cuff automatically re-inflates, compressing the urethra. The patient is continent once again.
