폐경 후 여성의 질 및 성 건강에 대한 비 절경 방사선 주파수의 효능

Protocol for the experimental group:

Tissue preparation phase: 5 minutes with the circular resistive monopolar electrode, applying slow circular or semicircular movements in the perineal area. The temperature will be gradually increased based on the patient's temperature perception, ensuring it remains comfortable (approximately 5 out of 10).

Main phase: 10 minutes using the intracavitary capacitive electrode connected to the PLUMA handle, lightly resting it on the tissues and continuously moving the electrode. The intravaginal temperature was maintained at 41-43°C throughout the 10-minute intracavitary application.

Final phase: 5 minutes with the circular resistive monopolar electrode, applying it similarly to the preparatory phase, with a subthermal effect, reaching a self-reported thermal sensation of 3 to 4 out of 10.

Participants in this group will receive the same treatment protocol, but with radiofrequency energy disabled.

6 treatment sessions of non-ablative radiofrequency, with a frequency of 1 session per week. The following protocol will be followed: Preparation (5 minutes): Resistive monopolar electrode applied to vulvar area with gradual heating (sensation 4-5/10).

Main Phase (10 minutes): Intracavitary capacitive electrode used to reach and maintain 41-43°C throughout the 10-minute application.

Final Phase (5 minutes): Repeat resistive electrode application with subthermal effect (sensation 3-4/10).
