Pre Operative Question Answer

Can vaginoplasty increase the risk of infection?

It is important to note that like any surgical procedure, vaginoplasty does carry a certain risk of infection, although the chances are relatively low when performed by a skilled surgeon in a sterile environment. To minimize this risk, strict hygiene protocols are followed, including the use of sterile instruments and a thorough pre-operative assessment to ensure you are in good health. Additionally, antibiotics are typically prescribed before and after surgery to further reduce the risk of infection. By adhering to post-operative care instructions and maintaining good personal hygiene, you can help further minimize the risk. It is essential to have a detailed discussion with your surgeon, who can provide personalized information based on your specific medical history and circumstances.
