Abstract
Stretching of the vaginal tissue caused by natural factors as aging or childbirth is the primary cause of vaginal laxity and loss of sexual satisfaction in women. Such medical condition can lead to physical and/or psychological health problems that impact relationship happiness. This prospective study investigates the treatment of vaginal looseness and sexual dissatisfaction with a noninvasive radiofrequency device. We enrolled 51 patients (average age 44.43 ± 9.85 years) who reported vaginal looseness symptoms and sexual dissatisfaction. They received 3 treatments with the Exilis Ultra 360 device (BTL Industries, Boston MA, USA) spaced by one week. Each session consisted of separate consecutive intravaginal and extravaginal application using the disposable tips. Therapy parameters were set according to the manufacturer's recommended protocol. Patient sexual satisfaction was evaluated by the Female Sexual Distress Scale-Revised questionnaire (FSDS-R) and the degree of vaginal looseness was measured by the Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ) at the baseline and 90 days post treatments. Patient comfort during each procedure was assessed using a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Signed informed consents were obtained from all patients.
