Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To examine the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency therapy on vaginal laxity, The investigators enrolled 30 women with vaginal laxity. Radiofrequency therapy was consisted of 2 sessions with 3 week interval. A session included 20 minutes radiofrequency therapy on vaginal mucosa. Vaginal laxity score, female sexual function index (FSFI), female sexual distress scale (FSDS), vaginal pressure, adverse events were examined. Follow up period is 3 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- change of vaginal laxity score from baseline [baseline - at 2nd therapy session (3week from baseline) - 1 month from 2nd therapy session - 3 month from 2nd therapy session]
subjective vaginal laxity
Secondary Outcome Measures
- change of FSFI score from baseline [baseline - 1 month from 2nd therapy session - 3 month from 2nd therapy session]
female sexual function index, higher is better
- change of FSDS score from baseline [baseline - 1 month from 2nd therapy session - 3 month from 2nd therapy session]
female sexual distress scale, lower is better
- change of vaginal pressure from baseline [baseline - at 2nd therapy session (3week from baseline) - 1 month from 2nd therapy session - 3 month from 2nd therapy session]
vaginal pressure measured with manometer
