THERMIva®, the greatest revolution in aesthetic gynecology worldwide, has come not only to solve gynecologists’ problems but, primarily, to change the lives of women who, due to hormonal changes, pregnancy, age, or menopause, experience symptoms of vaginal atrophy and dryness. These problems can negatively affect a woman’s quality of life and mood, both psychologically and sexually, causing discomfort, urinary infections, frequent urination, reduced desire, or even pain during sexual intercourse. In short, although not considered a disease, this condition causes chronic discomfort for many patients.
What Are the Symptoms of Dryness?
Atrophy and vaginal dryness usually cause:
- Burning or itching sensation (pruritus) in the vagina
- Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Urinary tract infections or vaginitis
- Vaginal bleeding
What Causes Vaginal Dryness?
Time and use inevitably affect the body. The changes a woman’s body undergoes, especially hormonal changes at various stages of life, are remarkable. She may be a young woman taking contraceptives, in the postpartum period where estrogen levels decrease, or breastfeeding when prolactin suppresses estrogen. She may be entering perimenopause and experiencing the first hormonal disturbances, or she may be in menopause, where estrogen levels decline, causing the vagina to atrophy.
The natural moisture of the vagina maintains the balance of its flora, strengthens its defense against vaginitis and other pathogens, protects against irritation, and supports vaginal tissue. Its absence (dryness) naturally causes discomfort and imbalance in a woman’s body.
Until recently, dryness was treated conventionally with moisturizing products, hormone replacement therapy, laser treatments (which can be painful, cause burns, and are often problematic for menopausal women), or even surgical interventions.
Causes Summarized
Factors contributing to vaginal atrophy and dryness include:
- Menopause
- Certain medications (contraceptives, antihistamines, antidepressants)
- Anxiety
- Breastfeeding
- Childbirth
- Diabetes
- Cancer treatment (chemotherapy)
- Smoking
How Does THERMIva® Treat Vaginal Dryness?
Today, in 42 countries worldwide, the most effective, immediate, and completely painless non-surgical, non-hormonal method for treating vaginal atrophy and dryness is the FDA-approved THERMIva® vaginal rejuvenation method. This treatment is also highly effective for patients who have overcome cancer and suffer from menopausal symptoms such as vaginal atrophy and dryness.
THERMIva® uses the same thermal radio frequencies initially developed in the U.S. for facial and neck rejuvenation and tightening. In aesthetic gynecology, a gentle device (smaller than a finger) is inserted into the vaginal walls, where it stimulates new collagen and elastin production and promotes cell regeneration. This improves blood circulation, restores natural moisture, and tightens tissue through the regeneration of blood vessels. The vaginal mucosa regains elasticity and lubrication and is no longer thin or dry.
The results are impressive: From the very first 30-minute session (out of three required sessions), THERMIva® restores the natural flora and moisture of the vagina in an immediate, painless, and cost-effective way, rejuvenating the woman and relieving her of a chronic problem. With the new collagen, elastin, and tightening of both the vagina and external labia, the entire genital area is revitalized, regaining function and balance that may have been lost decades earlier. Vaginal atrophy and dryness disappear as the tissue becomes properly oxygenated, lubricated, and hydrated. Alongside the resolution of dryness, all associated side effects also cease, enabling the woman to regain control of her life, sexual desire, and confidence, all thanks to this innovative method.
