Our approach

Medical first, aesthetic second.

Many women live for years with discomfort after childbirth, dryness after the menopause, rubbing from enlarged labia or tightening that makes intimacy painful, and never mention it. These are common, treatable and nothing to be embarrassed about.

Because Dr Alrashed is a gynaecologist first, every consultation starts with the medical picture: an examination if you want one, a check for anything that needs treating in its own right, and the established treatments where they work better. Then we talk about what you want to change, what each option involves and what result is realistic.

Treatments

What we offer.

Surgical · day procedure

Labiaplasty

What it is
Reduction or reshaping of the inner lips (labia minora). Many women ask because of rubbing, discomfort in clothing, during exercise or intercourse, difficulty with hygiene, or because the lips are uneven. Labia vary widely and are almost always normal — the decision is yours, made with full information.
What to expect
A day procedure in our own theatre at Oxford Medical, with local anaesthetic or sedation, and you go home the same day. Expect swelling and tenderness for one to two weeks; most women return to desk work within a week and avoid intercourse, tampons and strenuous exercise for about six weeks.
Risks
Bleeding, infection, the wound opening, scarring, asymmetry, a change in sensation, and the result not being what you hoped. Removing too much tissue cannot be undone, which is why we plan conservatively.
Energy-based · in clinic

Vaginal laser rejuvenation

What it is
Treatment with the Fotona laser, which gently heats the vaginal wall and vulva to stimulate new collagen, without cutting the skin. It is used for a feeling of looseness after childbirth, for dryness and discomfort after the menopause, and for mild leakage of urine on coughing or exercise.
What to expect
A course of short sessions in the clinic, usually a few weeks apart, with a numbing cream rather than an anaesthetic. Most women feel warmth or mild discomfort, return to normal activities the same day, and avoid intercourse for a few days afterwards.
Risks
Temporary discomfort, discharge or spotting; rarely burns, scarring or pain. The evidence is mixed: some studies show benefit, but trials comparing laser with a placebo treatment have not consistently shown a difference, and long-term results are not known. We explain where it may help and where the established treatments are better.
Injection · your own blood

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP)

What it is
A small sample of your own blood is spun to concentrate the platelets, which are then injected into the vulval or vaginal tissue. It is used for skin conditions of the vulva such as lichen sclerosus, for dryness, and is sometimes combined with laser.
What to expect
A blood test, a numbing cream and a few injections, all in one visit of under an hour. Mild swelling and tenderness settle within a few days.
Risks
Bruising, swelling, and rarely infection. Because the platelets are your own there is no risk of allergy. The evidence is still emerging and results vary from woman to woman.
Injection · temporary

Hyaluronic acid fillers

What it is
A gel of hyaluronic acid — a substance the body makes itself — used to restore volume to the outer lips (labia majora) after weight loss, childbirth or with age, and in some women to ease vaginal dryness.
What to expect
Injections in the clinic with a numbing cream, taking about half an hour. The result is seen straight away and usually lasts nine to eighteen months, as the body slowly absorbs the gel.
Risks
Swelling, bruising, tenderness or small lumps; rarely infection or a filler blocking a blood vessel, which needs prompt treatment. Hyaluronic acid can be dissolved if needed.
Injection · muscle relaxant

Botulinum toxin (Botox)

What it is
Relaxes muscles that are tightening when they should not. In gynaecology it is used for vaginismus — where the vaginal muscles tighten involuntarily and make intercourse or examination difficult or impossible — and for some kinds of pelvic floor muscle pain.
What to expect
Injections given under sedation or anaesthesia, usually alongside a programme of graded dilators so the benefit lasts. The effect builds over one to two weeks and lasts several months.
Risks
Temporary weakness of nearby muscles, and rarely a change in bladder or bowel control while it lasts. Its use in gynaecology is outside the product licence, which we explain before you decide.
Surgical · after childbirth

Post-childbirth restoration

What it is
Repair of the area between the vagina and the back passage (perineum) when a tear or episiotomy has healed in a way that causes looseness, discomfort, pain with intercourse or a change in appearance.
What to expect
A day procedure in our own theatre, under sedation or anaesthesia. Recovery is similar to labiaplasty: about six weeks before intercourse or strenuous exercise. It is best done once you have finished having children, or discussed carefully if you have not.
Risks
Bleeding, infection, the wound opening, scarring, and pain with intercourse if the repair is too tight — which is why the plan is made with you, step by step.

Medical treatment, not a promise. Results differ from woman to woman, and for some of these treatments the research is still developing. Dr Alrashed will tell you what is known, what is not, and when another approach would serve you better.

Common questions

Before you book.

Who carries out the treatments?

Every treatment is carried out by Dr Karema Alrashed, a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology, at Oxford Medical Kuwait. She sees you from the first consultation to your follow-up.

Is the consultation private?

Yes. You are seen by a female doctor, in a private room, and nothing is shared with anyone — including family — without your consent. You may bring someone with you or come alone; it is your choice.

Do I have to decide at the first visit?

No. The first visit is a conversation and, if you wish, an examination. You leave with the options, the risks and the alternatives in writing, and decide in your own time.

Are there alternatives to these treatments?

Often, yes. Dryness after the menopause usually responds to vaginal oestrogen or moisturisers, leakage of urine to pelvic floor exercises, and vaginismus to a graded dilator programme. We discuss these first where they are the better choice.

Can unmarried women have these treatments?

Treatments on the outer area, such as labiaplasty and fillers to the outer lips, do not involve the vagina. Anything that does is discussed with you individually and in confidence before any decision.
