The Truth About Female Genital Mutilation

Article No Comments »

MIAMI, FORT LAUDERDALE, PALM BEACH AND DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – Some have the misconception that labioplasty and hoodoplasty procedures are a form of female genital mutilation. They are not.

Cosmetic laser gynecology procedures such as labioplasty and hoodoplastyare consensual. Females get these procedures to ease pain during intercourse, decrease embarrassment and to better their sex lives.

Female genital mutilation has no health benefits for girls and women, and is done to intentionally alter the vagina for non-medical reasons. FGM can cause severe bleeding and problems urinating. Later in the woman’s life, potential childbirth complications and newborn deaths can occur.

FGM involves partial or complete removal of the external female genitalia. An estimated 100 to 140 million females around the world are living with the consequences of this procedure. Typically, this procedure is carried out on young girls between infancy and age 15.

“Female genital mutilation is a violation of human rights,” says Dr. Scheinberg, a vaginoplastysurgeon. “I want to raise awareness, and show that what I do is to benefit women-not harm them.”

The long-term effects of FGM include:

• Chronic bladder and urinary tract infections
• Infertility
• Complications during childbirth, and risk of newborn deaths
• Cysts around the female organs

Vaginal reconstructionexpert Dr. Scheinberg discusses the different types of FGM.

Type I: Clitoridectomy- This is the partial or complete removal of the clitoris.

Type II: Excision- The partial or complete removal of the clitoris and labia minora.

Type III: Infibulation- Making the vaginal opening narrower by creating a seal. The seal is created by cutting and moving the inner or outer labia.

Type IV: Other – Other procedures include pricking, piercing, scraping and cauterizing the vaginal area.

FGM is a common practice in western, eastern and northeastern regions of Africa, and in some countries in Asia and the Middle East. It is also common in immigrant communities of North America and Europe.

Severe pain, heavy bleeding, bacterial infections and open sores are just a few of the immediate complications for females undergoing FGM. This procedure can interfere with the natural function of their bodies.

“We offer a reconstructive surgery of infibulated scars, which are associated with type III genital cutting,” says Dr. Scheinberg. “Defibulation can alleviate some of the complications associated with this form of FGM.”

It is important for everyone to understand the difference between cosmetic gynecology and FGM practices. Labiaplasties and hoodoplasties are performed to benefit women. FGM is a form of torture, and is performed against the female’s wishes.

What Is The Urethral Sphincter?

Practice News No Comments »

MIAMI, WEST PALM, FORT LAUDERDALE AND DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – The vagina is made up of different muscles and tissues. It is important for a woman to understand what is going on down there.
The urethral sphincter consists of two muscles that can control the flow of urine through the urethra. These two muscles are called the external and internal urethral sphincter. When you contract these two muscles, your urethra is sealed shut.
The contracting of the external and internal urethral sphincter is also known as the Kegel exercise. Many gynecologists recommend you do these exercises to help tighten the vaginal walls during and after pregnancy.
Cosmetic gynecology surgeon Dr. Mark Scheinberg explains the two urethral sphincter muscles in depth.
External Sphincter Muscle
Located around the back, base of the bladder, and is made up of skeletal muscle. This makes it under voluntary control of the somatic nervous system.
The external sphincter muscle is also made up of three different parts, the sphincter urethra, urethrovaginal sphincter muscle and the compressor urethrae muscle.
Internal Sphincter Muscle
Located near the base of the bladder and adjacent to the urethra, the internal sphincter muscle is a continuation of the detrusor muscle. This is under involuntary control, and is the primary muscle that can restrict the flow of urine.
“Despite what many people may say, males do not have a stronger urethral muscle,” says Dr. Scheinberg, a labioplasty expert. “There is also not any difference between the amounts of urine each sex can hold in their bladder.”
As a woman, you need to urinate more because your bladder shares space with the uterus, which is why childbirth can wreak havoc on your bladder and the supporting tissues of the vagina.
Near the end of labor, the baby’s body will descend through the birth canal. When you reach the point of being 10 centimeters dilated, it’s time to push. The supporting tissues around the vagina can separate and weaken.
A weakened pelvic floor and surrounding muscles could cause the bladder to descend. Surgery to take up the bladder may be an option to correct this. Vaginal reconstruction surgery can tighten the vaginal walls and restore the natural shape.
If you are suffering from vaginal looseness due to childbirth, it can result in a lack of sensation during sex and lowered gratification.
Knowing your body inside and out can result in a better sex life for you and your partner.

Cosmetic Gynecologist Speaks In China

Practice News No Comments »

FORT LAUDERDALE AND DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – Last month, Dr. Mark Scheinberg, visited Hainan, China, and spoke at the 15th World Congress on Controversies in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Infertility.

During this speaking arrangement that took place Dec. 8-12, the cosmetic-plastic gynecology group was given a plenary session to introduce cosmetic gynecology. This was a first for this field of gynecology. The group consisted of Professor Adam Ostrzenski, of St. Petersburg, FL, Dr. Troy R Hailparn, of San Antonio, TX and Dr. Mark Scheinberg, of Deerfield Beach, FL.

Dr. Scheinberg, a Fort Lauderdale vaginoplasty specialist, discusses the topics he recently spoke about at this congress.

Clitoral Hoodoplasty
Reasons to get a clitoral hoodoplasty may be from a buried, hypertrophic-gaping or asymmetrical subdermal hypertrophy. Buried means the hood opening is slightly or completely closed. Hypertrophic-gaping means the foreskin of the clitoris is too long, thick or both. Asymmetrical subdermal hypertrophy means the thickness of the hood is uneven.

There are two techniques of a clitoral hoodoplasty. Restorative surgery is performed to rebuild a destroyed opening of the clitoral hood caused by skin conditions, or female circumcision, and bring back the lost prepuce without causing in nerve damage. Ostrzenski’s Hyrodissection with Reverse V-Plasty can be performed to correct this.

Reductive surgery decreases the length and thickness of the clitoral prepucial tissue. Ostrzenski’s Modified Hydrodissection with Reverse V-Plasty or Ostrzenski’s Subepithelial methods can be used during this technique
Labia Minora Labioplasty
Another topic of discussion included the different forms of labioplasty available, and ones that are unethical to perform. There are nine methods of performing labia minora labioplasty but only four techniques are applicable to use

Labia Majora Labioplasty
During the topic of labia majora labioplasty, Dr. Scheinberg, a designer labioplasty specialist,
explained the five labia majora labioplasty procedures that are applicable, and the two that are not. Horizontal Labia Majora Labiaplasty and Vertical Labia Majora Labiaplasty techniques are non-applicable to perform due to the scars left behind.

“I also discussed the different fillers available for the labia majora,” says Dr. Scheinberg, a vaginal reconstruction surgeon. “The natural and artificial fillers can provide you with a plump, youthful appearance.”

Do Kegel Exercises Work?

Article No Comments »

MIAMI, PALM BEACH AND DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – It is likely that you have heard of the Kegel exercise, but you may not know how important it is for your pelvic muscles.
A Kegel exercise, also known as pelvic floor exercises, strengthens the muscles surrounding your vagina, bladder and bowel. The plus side of this workout: it can be done anywhere, anytime because no one will be able to see you doing your Kegel exercises.

“This is a great workout if you’re pregnant, or already gave birth,” says Dr. Mark Scheinberg, a Florida vaginoplasty expert. “It also has some benefits if you’re suffering from stress incontinence.”
Pregnancy, childbirth, aging and weight fluctuations can all weaken the pelvic floor muscles. The muscles may start to descend, which is part of vaginal prolapse. Pelvic floor exercises can put off or reduce vaginal organ prolapse and other related symptoms.

“More than 30 million women suffer from conditions related to a weakened pelvic floor,” says Miami labioplasty specialist Dr. Scheinberg. “Kegel exercises can help strengthen these muscles.”

Through Thick And Thin

Article No Comments »

MIAMI, PALM BEACH AND DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – Women in Miami looking to get cosmetic-plastic surgery on their vagina may wonder about some of the medical terms.
The surgical correction and enhancement of the genital structure is called a labioplasty. However, there are different forms of labiaplasty. For instance, two techniques for labiaplasty are called thin labia, or labia minoraplasty, and thick labia, or labia majoraplasty. So what is the difference?

“The thin labia are the inner, external female genitalia that are hairless,” says Palm Beach vaginal rejuvenation specialist Dr. Mark Scheinberg, “It is also known as the labia minora.”
The proper aesthetic way to perform the thin labia operation is to reduce the size, preserve the edges, reshape the contours, create symmetry and a uniform color, and create a youthful appearance. This procedure has given many women embarrassed by their labial appearance, a new self-confidence.

What Is A Wide Vagina?

Article No Comments »

FORT LAUDERDALE AND DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – The sensation of vaginal looseness, or a “wide vagina,” can be the result of the aging process, too much stretching, and cutting of the vaginal wall, or supporting tissues during childbirth.

Typically, women describe the sensation of a wide vagina as an empty feeling during sexual intercourse. This sensation can be caused by non-existent or diminished vaginal ridges or rugae, the vaginal walls having bulging or stretching from the tears, and stretching of the orifice or entrance to the vagina.

During childbearing, for instance, the vaginal walls stretch to accommodate the growing child inside. Once the labor process begins, the vagina stretches to a width of 10 centimeters, or four inches.
As the child moves through the birth canal, ripping can and usually does occur. In some cases, the doctor may cut the perineum to get the child out quicker. It is not uncommon for a woman to suffer from vaginal looseness as a result.

“A tighter vaginal sensation can be accomplished,” says Dr. Mark Scheinberg, a Florida labioplasty expert. “This can be done by reconstructing all the defects and rebuilding the ridges.”
Vaginal rugae restoration and other repair techniques such as site-specific defect reconstruction can fix your vagina by correcting the damage and recreating the vaginal ridges. The natural shape and tightness can be restored.
