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 hoodoplasty are 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 vaginoplasty surgeon. “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 reconstruction expert 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.

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.

Perineoplasty Procedure Offered at the Center for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Gynecology

Article No Comments »

DEERFIELD BEACH, PALM BEACH, FORT LAUDERDALE AND MIAMI, FLORIDA – The perineum is the spot between your vagina and rectum. This area can be stretched, cut or torn during your lifetime.

A perineoplasty, or perineorrhaphy, involves repairing the individual muscles that were torn by finding the tough connective tissue surrounding the muscle and sewing them back together individually so the muscle stays together.

They have to be done individually or pain and recurrent separation can recur. This only repairs the outside.
“The tough connective tissues have to be put back in the same direction they were torn, usually ten or more different tears are present,” says Dr. Mark Scheinberg a Palm Beach vaginal rejuvenation expert. “By doing this the muscle will be repositioned and tightened without having to put sutures through the actual muscle, which causes much less pain and gives lasting results.”

What Is A Hoodoplasty?

Article No Comments »

MIAMI, PALM BEACH, FORT LAUDERDALE AND DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – Are you one of the many women who feels self-conscious about the way they look down there? Is the skin covering your clitoris overgrown, too dark for your liking and reducing sensation and pleasure? It can be fixed.

The clitoral hood is a fold of skin that protects the clitoral glans and develops as part of the labia minora. It can be partially or entirely attached to the clitoris resulting in the clitoris being hidden. This can cause pain prior to and during intercourse or act like padding that reduces contact and pleasure.

A hoodoplasty procedure can transform a thickened, discolored or elongated clitoral hood to a natural look and allow more sensation. Dr. Mark Scheinberg, a vaginoplasty/vaginaplasty surgeon, explains three classifications for clitoral hood characteristics. Read the rest of this entry »

Types And Causes Of Vaginal Prolapse

Article No Comments »

DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA – Many women may suffer from symptoms of vaginal prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.
Difficulty controlling urine and changes in bowel habits are typically the two most common symptoms.

“Vaginal prolapse is a problem in which structures such as the uterus, bladder, urethra, small bowel, or the vagina itself begin to fall out of their normal positions,” says Dr. Mark Scheinberg, a vaginaplasty/vaginoplasty expert. “Without treatment, the structures may prolapse farther.”
Dr. Scheinberg, a vaginal rejuvenation/reconstruction specialist, explains the different types of vaginal prolapse.

Rectocele, Or Prolapse Of The Rectum
This form of prolapse involves the back wall of the vagina. When it weakens, the rectal wall pushes against the vaginal wall. This may result in a bulge and could become noticeable during bowel movements. This may occur as a result of injuries sustained during childbirth. Read the rest of this entry »
