Aging, hormonal changes, and childbirth can lead to intimate health issues for women. While these problems can feel embarrassing, it is important to bring up any pain, discomfort, or other intimate health concerns with your doctor. In most instances, there is a solution to intimate health conditions, and often, doctors even have non-invasive options for you to consider.
Learn more about how our team at Mirabile M.D. can treat your intimate health problems this year with some of the best gynecology treatments.
What Is Women’s Intimate Health?
Intimate health can refer to many aspects of reproductive and sexual health for women. In some instances, women’s intimate health may be used to describe numerous health conditions that affect female reproductive organs and genitalia. But most commonly, the term is used in reference to problems that may cause urinary leakage or make it challenging for a woman to enjoy sexual intercourse, which may be related to aging, menopause, and various other conditions.
Unfortunately, women’s intimate health is often only associated with childbirth. However, these health concerns can be the result of other factors, such as aging or hormonal changes, and are an important part of a woman’s overall health. In fact, many women experience high levels of discomfort for long periods of time without ever mentioning their problems to their doctor.
Common Issues with Women’s Intimate Health
Some women experience problems with the shape or appearance of genital tissues for various reasons. Women who have large or sagging labia may experience considerable discomfort when exercising, or even just wearing tight clothing. Additionally, women who experience the loss of vaginal tone are prone to vaginal dryness, urinary leakage, frequent urinary tract infections, vaginal laxity, low sex drive, and painful intercourse.
To help women combat these uncomfortable, painful, or confidence-impacting problems, Mirabile M.D. offers several non-invasive treatments.
Gynecological Treatments to Improve Intimate Health and Wellness
Some of the best gynecology treatments to improve intimate health for women are non-invasive, meaning that they require minimal downtime and pain for the patient.
FormaV
InMode’s FormaV treats sexual dysfunction in women by strengthening the muscles of the pelvic floor. With just two or three treatments—spaced about 4 weeks apart—patients can expect increased muscle tone and better blood circulation to the area. Commonly, FormaV is used to treat the following conditions:
- Urinary leakage
- Painful urination
- Recurrent UTIs
- Vaginal laxity
- Vaginal dryness
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Impaired sexual function
Patients may experience a hot sensation that lasts for several hours post-treatment. While some patients experience mild discomfort during and immediately following the procedure, most report that they are comfortable during the treatment.
Morpheus8 V
Using fractional radiofrequency, Morpheus8 V helps treat a variety of feminine intimate health concerns, such as:
- Urinary leakage
- Vaginal laxity
- Vaginal dryness
- Painful intercourse
- Poor vaginal lubrication during intercourse
- Impaired sexual function
- Enlarged labia
Morpheus8 V not only improves the appearance of vaginal tissue, but it can also have a dramatic impact on sexual function, urinary health, and vaginal health. The state-of-the-art technology utilizes silicone-coated needles that penetrate the surface of the vaginal tissue to deliver pulses of radiofrequency energy that help tighten the tissue, while also stimulating the production of both collagen and elastin.
This treatment can be used both internally and externally to deliver great results that require little downtime. Our team helps minimize the discomfort our patients feel during the treatment with numbing cream and other medications.
VTone
VTone, also by InMode, is an FDA-approved pelvic floor therapy that strengthens the muscles in that area. By strengthening the pelvic floor with intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), Mirabile M.D. can help patients improve conditions like urinary incontinence.
This treatment is gentle and effective, leading to the overall improvement of quality of life for those battling all types of urinary incontinence, including overflow, function, stress, and urge urinary incontinences.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Female intimate health concerns may also be attributed to hormonal changes and imbalances. These hormonal problems can be treated with hormone replacement therapy. At Mirabile M.D., we see women during menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause.
During hormone replacement therapy, the correct dosage of hormones is determined through a combination of routine lab work and a review of the patient’s symptoms. Then, your medical team will help you decide the best method for administering those hormones. While creams may be best for one woman, injections, pills, or pellet therapy may be best for another.
Hormone replacement therapy can help treat various issues, but one of the most common intimate health issues it addresses is increased sex drive.
