Dear Dr Patti
Since I had my son four years ago, my vagina has been stretched out of shape. Because I feel so much larger there's not much feeling, and it's harder for me to reach orgasm. What can I do to make my vagina smaller? Are operations successful?

When a woman gives birth her vagina, which is also the birth canal, stretches to accommodate a baby's head and shoulders. Normally, after several weeks or months, her body regains its form, inside and out. For some women, that requires doing pelvic floor exercises, which strengthen and contract the PC, or pubococcyceal, muscles. These are the ‘love muscles’ which can help pump your vagina back into shape.
I suggest you first discuss this carefully with your GP. I am not an expert on gynaecological surgery and there may be surgical procedures that can tighten this area of your musculature.
In the meantime, start doing pelvic floor exercises every day. Here’s how: Firstly, to help you find these muscles, sit on the toilet and take a pee, stopping mid-flow. The muscles you use to do this are the PC muscles. Now, without peeing, squeeze these muscles tightly for about two seconds, then release for two seconds. Repeat this 20 times, take a break for about a minute, then repeat the process twice. That adds up to 60 repetitions a day and you should start to see results within about three weeks.
Make sure that you and your partner continue to be intimate without necessarily having sexual intercourse. Remember that usually it is a woman's clitoris, not her vagina, that is the key to orgasm. So make sure you focus on that area for pleasure. Above all, keep those fires burning.
