ThermiVa™
ThermiVa with O-Shot® Case Study 08.12.21
Patient History: A patient in her early 50s complained of overactive bladder, repeatedly waking up at night to urinate multiple times, some pelvic heaviness and pressure from a mild to moderate rectocele. She also had a reduction in her genital sensitivity and a difficult time achieving orgasms.
Treatment and Results: ThermiVa with O-Shot were started in 2018 which have continued to shrink her vaginal tissues and provide tightness, maintain moisture, eliminate overactive bladder and nocturia symptoms, and prevent progression of her rectocele. Her sensitivity has been improved and orgasmic response has been normal. Three years of preventative treatments and maintenance with radio frequency and vaginal estrogens have been able to ward off the menopausal changes that can greatly hurt vaginal health.
