Vaginal Remodeling (Votiva)

As women go through various stages of their lives and grow older, they can experience challenging and uncomfortable changes. Aging, pregnancy, or changes in hormone production can result in pelvic floor dysfunction, vaginal laxity, incontinence, vaginal dryness, or sexual dysfunction. These symptoms can be quite common and can worsen over time. Some of the conditions that women may experience include the following:

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction / Vaginal Laxity

Pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause can contribute to vaginal laxity, the loss of strength and flexibility in the vaginal wall.

Vaginal Atrophy

Changes in hormone levels can lead to vaginal atrophy, causing vaginal dryness, pain with intercourse, decreased sensitivity, urinary urgency, painful urination, or recurrent urinary tract infections.

Stress incontinence/Urinary Leaking

Loss of support of the urethra can cause urinary leaking when laughing, coughing, sneezing, running, or jumping.

These symptoms can strongly affect women’s quality of life physically, psychologically, and sexually. But at Buffalo OB·GYN, we can help.

Votiva is an FDA-approved, non-surgical, non-hormonal, and minimally invasive device that can treat these symptoms. Votiva uses a mild form of energy called radiofrequency to deliver gentle heat to the deeper tissue layers of the vagina, encouraging increased production of collagen and elastin. This vaginal remodeling restores strength, elasticity, and moisture to the vagina. Treatment with Votiva can lead to improvement in vaginal moisture and tightening, urinary incontinence, and sexual function.
