Women’s Health Q & A

What Changes Occur in a Woman’s Health Throughout Her Life?

Women experience various changes in their health throughout life, particularly in vaginal health. For women who go through childbirth, the impact on vaginal tissues can be significant, often leading to general vaginal laxity and looseness. Even women who haven’t had children can experience these changes due to the natural decline of collagen and elastin in their tissues as they age. This loss of elasticity can lead to loose vaginal tissue, causing discomfort due to tugging or twisting, as well as noticeable changes in the appearance of the vagina.

How Are These Changes in a Woman’s Health Treated?

At Monroe OBGYN, we offer the latest advancements to help women navigate the physical changes that come with age and hormone shifts. One of the most effective tools we offer is the Votiva® system by InMode, a revolutionary radiofrequency treatment. Votiva addresses concerns such as:

• Improving blood circulation
• Enhancing muscle tone as an adjunct to Kegel exercises
• Firming up loose vaginal skin
• Promoting better overall vaginal health by stimulating collagen and elastin production

What is a Votiva Treatment Like?

Votiva is a comfortable, noninvasive procedure where one of our skilled healthcare providers delivers radiofrequency energy into your vaginal tissue. This energy heats the tissue, triggering a coagulation response that tightens the area, and a collagen response that gradually rebuilds tissue from within.
