Sophia Singh, a 42-year-old marketing director...
Sophia Singh, a 42-year-old marketing director and mother of two, had a difficult vaginal delivery with her second child that resulted in a severe third-degree tear. Despite initial repair, she was left with significant scar tissue and narrowing of the vaginal opening (introital stenosis). For years, Sophia experienced painful intercourse (dyspareunia), which strained her marriage and caused her to avoid intimacy. She also had discomfort with tampon use and routine gynecological exams. Her OB/GYN recommended a plastic repair of the introitus to reconstruct the vaginal opening, remove the painful scar tissue, and restore normal anatomy. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. The recovery involved several weeks of soreness, strict hygiene protocols, and the use of topical estrogen cream and vaginal dilators to prevent new scar tissue from forming. Six months post-procedure, Sophia reported a dramatic reduction in pain and a restored ability to enjoy a healthy sexual relationship. Emotionally, she moved from feeling broken and resigned to a state of regained confidence and physical wholeness, significantly improving her self-esteem and marital connection.
