Medical Video: Vaginal Laser Therapy: Who Is It for and How Can It Help? | UCLAMDCHAT Webinar
Inevitably, the vagina will experience so many changes over time. Increasing age, menopause, and after giving birth are a number of reasons that can make your vagina relax.Apart from Kegel exercises, there is one other way available forvaginal tightening, i.e. by vaginal laser therapy.
What is vaginal laser therapy?
Sagging vagina occurs due to reduced firmness of the supporting tissue structure or weakening of the muscles around the vagina, which is caused by a lack of collagen. This problem can usually reduce the pleasure of sexual relations with a partner.
Vaginal laser therapy is claimed to be able to re-tighten the sagging vagina with just a few easy steps. During the process, the technician will "fire" the heat-producing laser into the tissue around the vagina which then stimulates the formation of new collagen.
The presence of new collagen finally tightens the sagging vagina. Every laser shot into the vagina usually won't hurt, just like a warm vibration. The process of therapy is also quite short, only 15-30 minutes.
But is it safe?
Vaginal laser therapy has been approved by U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2014.
One study that tested this method in 50 women for more than 12 weeks showed an improvement in reported complaints about changes in the shape and function of her vagina. In the study, 84 percent of women reported satisfaction with the procedure.
In another study of 120 patients, almost 90 percent of participants reported reduced pain during sexual intercourse following this procedure.
As for side effects, patients who undergo this treatment may initially experience vaginal discharge or slight bleeding spots, but these symptoms disappear in only 2-3 days.
What are the benefits of doing vaginal laser therapy?
1. Increase sexual satisfaction
After giving birth, over time, your vaginal tissue can become loose, loose, and reduce sensitivity in the vaginal area. This can cause a decrease in satisfaction during sexual intercourse.
Vaginal laser therapy can reshape new collagen tissue in the vaginal wall, increase the sensitivity of vaginal receptors, increase the ability to contract existing vaginal tissues, increase vaginal tightness, and increase sexual satisfaction.
2. Overcoming urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence is a term that describes urine leakage that occurs unwittingly during activities that can increase pressure in the abdomen such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising. This condition is caused by loss of strength in the urethra due to weak pelvic support structures.
Vaginal laser therapy reduces the symptoms of SUI and effectively restores normal urination because it increases vaginal wall thickness and strengthens the pelvic support structure.
3. Reduces pain due to vaginal atrophy
Vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) is thinning and inflammation of the vaginal wall due to a decrease in estrogen. Vaginal atrophy most often occurs after menopause, but can also develop during breastfeeding or when estrogen production decreases. For many women, vaginal atrophy can make sex painful.
Vaginal laser therapy according to a study can reduce symptoms of vaginal atrophy and reduce pain during intercourse. The study lasted 12 weeks and involved 50 women, at the end of the study, 84% of women felt their condition improved after vaginal laser therapy.
