Vagi̇noplasty From a Partner's Perspecti̇ve

Objectives Sexual harmony between partners and surgical interventions that can be performed in the genital area to improve this harmony have increased social awareness in recent years. In this study, we aimed to show the preoperative and postoperative changes in partner satisfaction in vaginoplasties performed for aesthetic or medical reasons. Methods This study was planned retrospectively. Patient information was scanned in the database of our clinic and demographic data of the patients were recorded. The partners of the patients who underwent vaginoplasty were interviewed and the Male Sexual Health Questionnaire Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD), Golombok Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale and New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) were applied for preoperative and postoperative periods to evaluate sexual functions and the data were recorded. Results In this study, preoperative and postoperative MSHQ-EjD ejaculatory function and ejaculatory difficulty levels were not significantly different. In the Golombok-Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale, relationship quality was evaluated in eight subgroups, and it was found that the levels of Frequency, Communication Touch, Satisfaction, Empotence and Quality of Sexual Relationship were significantly higher in the postoperative period, while Avoidance and Premature ejaculation scores were significantly lower. Conclusions In this study, it was found that sexual life satisfaction increased in the partners of women who underwent vaginoplasty for aesthetic or medical reasons.
