Can radiofrequency treatment restore vaginal feeling?
Radiofrequency treatment may improve vaginal feeling in some women by stimulating collagen, improving blood flow, and enhancing tissue elasticity and nerve function.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Radiofrequency (RF) devices heat vaginal tissue, promoting collagen remodelling and increased circulation. Small studies suggest benefits for sensation, dryness, and laxity, particularly in postmenopausal women. RF is less invasive than laser and is usually considered after first-line therapies. More research is needed, and not all patients will benefit. NHS: Vaginal dryness.
Clinical Context
Only qualified specialists should provide RF therapy. Discuss options, safety, and suitability during consultation.
Evidence-Based Approaches
NHS and NICE recommend radiofrequency as a possible second-line therapy after conservative options (NICE CKS).
