More than 50% of women over the age of 51 and more than 15% of younger women struggle with vaginal dryness. At Modern OBGYN Care in Pembroke Pines, we want you to know that you don't have to live with these frustrating and embarrassing issues.
In today's blog, we're covering a groundbreaking, noninvasive solution that uses radiofrequency energy to help promote better natural lubrication and enhanced sexual and urinary wellness.
One of the most common causes of vaginal dryness is decreased estrogen production, which can occur during menopause, after childbirth, or while breastfeeding.
This hormonal shift can thin the vaginal tissues and reduce natural lubrication. Other factors, including some cancer treatments, immune disorders, or even stress, can also contribute.
For many women, dryness isn’t the only concern. Itching, burning, urinary leakage, or pain during intimacy are all common, especially after starting menopause.
These symptoms, and others affecting vaginal, urinary, and pelvic health, are often part of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). The syndrome affects up to 70% of post-menopausal women and at least 15% of pre-menopausal women.
Fortunately, we now have an effective, non-hormonal solution in Votiva by InMode®.
We offer Votiva by InMode, a gentle, effective vaginal revitalization treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production in and around the vaginal tissues.
Collagen helps strengthen and firm the tissues, improve elasticity, and enhance circulation.
All these things can combine to help enhance vaginal lubrication and improve your comfort level.
But Votiva's effects aren't limited to the relief of vaginal dryness. It can also help with:
For many women dealing with frustrating symptoms after pregnancy or during menopause, Votiva offers a simple, noninvasive solution that really works.
Before your Votiva treatment, we’ll ask you to arrive clean and follow any brief instructions we provide, such as avoiding topical products in the area that day. We'll ask you to empty your bladder beforehand to ensure a comfortable procedure.
For the procedure, you’ll lie in a comfortable position, similar to a routine pelvic exam. We provide a privacy drape and make sure you're relaxed before treatment starts.
Your doctor uses a special slender applicator, gently placing it just inside your vagina to deliver radiofrequency energy in controlled pulses.
The session typically lasts around 30 minutes, with most women feeling only mild warmth or gentle pressure.
After your doctor does a quick post-treatment check and reviews aftercare instructions, you can usually return to most normal activities the same day.
You may notice slight warmth, swelling, light discharge, or spotting for a day or two. We usually advise avoiding sex, vigorous exercise, and hot baths for a few days.
Most women notice improved vaginal lubrication, with less burning and discomfort, within a few weeks of their first treatment. Our doctors usually recommend three sessions, with at least a month between them.
You'll notice continued improvements with each session, and results can last for up to a year. If your symptoms start to return, you can schedule additional sessions to maintain your results for the long term.
If vaginal dryness or related symptoms have been affecting your daily life or relationships, it's time to take charge. Our board-certified OB/GYNs compassionately discuss your concerns, evaluate your needs, and help you determine if Votiva is right for you.
