So many great events in life can wreak havoc on your pelvic muscles. Pregnancy, childbirth and overeating are all culprits. For women especially, it is almost a necessity to perform pelvic exercises as we age.

Will I See Results with Pelvic Exercises?
Your pelvic floor muscles are like any other muscle in your body–without exercise, they can become weak. Add to that any one of the events discussed above and you may end up with a damaged pelvic floor. Pelvic exercises are done to strengthen your pelvic floor area and regain its elasticity.

For women with bladder control problems, these exercises can literally work miracles. By going through the motion of tightening and then relaxing your muscle, you will tone and reshape it, allowing you to have better control over your bladder as well as enhanced stimulation during intercourse. Even exercising just five minutes a day can make a huge difference in your incontinence symptoms and sex life.

As with any exercise program, it is important that you train the right muscle. With pelvic exercises, this is extremely important. You may want to ask your gynecologist to help you find the muscle and instruct you in the proper way to perform the exercises.

Here’s an article I dug up about Vaginal Rujuvination Surgery.  The procedure is extreme and you may have other options before going to this extent.  Consult with your doctor about other options.
 
Vaginal rejuvenation surgery (or vaginoplasty) is the reconstruction of the vaginal vault and perineum. This procedure makes the vagina smaller and strengthens the pelvic floor, enabling patients to achieve greater sexual fulfillment. It is increasingly becoming one of the most requested plastic surgeries today.

Facts about Vaginal Rejuvenation Surgery 
With age and life’s events, such as pregnancy and childbirth, vaginal tissues and the pelvic floor become weak and saggy. This is especially true after pregnancy since the vagina becomes stretched and often loses its ability to contract or squeeze the pelvic muscles on command. Vaginal rejuvenation will tone the vaginal muscles, resulting in better strength and control, thus improving sexual experiences.

This surgery is a procedure in which the vagina is made smaller and the PC muscles are made stronger. This surgery can also give the vagina a younger appearance–less sag, and less visible wear and tear. And since the patient will regain control of her PC muscle, she will not only increase her sexual satisfaction, she will avoid suffering from the condition of incontinence.

Lasers are used for the surgery to perform exact, aesthetic incisions. This technique means the procedure is relatively bloodless and can be performed on an outpatient basis. Vaginal rejuvenation will also build up the area located between the vagina opening and the anus, resulting in more sensation experienced during intercourse.
