(051) Clinical Application and Efficacy of Electrical Stimulation Combined with Non-Ablative Radiofrequency in Vaginal Laxity

Introduction Vaginal laxity is a common condition affecting women’s quality of life and sexual health. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of a novel combination therapy for this condition. Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of electrical stimulation combined with non-ablative radiofrequency in the treatment of patients with vaginal laxity. Methods A total of 84 patients diagnosed with vaginal laxity from September 2023 to June 2024 were selected and randomly divided into a study group and a control group, with 42 cases in each group. The study group was treated with electrical stimulation combined with non-ablative radiofrequency, while the control group was treated with electrical stimulation alone. The clinical effects were evaluated by comparing the Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ) scores, Pelvic Organ Prolapse-Quantification (POP-Q) staging, pelvic floor surface electromyography (sEMG) assessment, and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores before and after treatment, as well as between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the two groups (P>0.05). After treatment, the VLQ scores in both groups were significantly improved compared to before treatment (P<0.05), and the VLQ score in the study group was significantly better than that in the control group (3.71±0.74 vs. 3.02±0.71, P<0.05). The proportion of patients with improved vaginal laxity was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group (92.86% vs. 64.29%, P<0.05). Following treatment, the POP-Q staging in both groups showed significant improvement (P<0.05), with the study group demonstrating a significantly better distribution than the control group (P<0.05). The mean values of resting and slow-twitch muscle sEMG were significantly improved in both groups after treatment (P<0.05), with no significant difference between the groups (P>0.05). The FSFI scores for both groups were significantly higher after treatment (P<0.05), and the score for the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group (26.78±4.23 vs. 22.45±4.12, P<0.05). Conclusions The combination of electrical stimulation and non-ablative radiofrequency therapy is significantly effective in treating vaginal laxity. This approach improves the degree of vaginal laxity and enhances sexual satisfaction, demonstrating its value for clinical application. Disclosure No
