Main Information
<p>A medical history will be taken to make sure that there are no reasons why you are not suited to be treated with a non-surgical vulvo-vaginal treatment. Then you would normally be asked to sign a consent form, which means that you have understood what the treatment may do, and the potential side effects.</p> <p>Photographs may also be taken by the practitioner that can be used as a “before and after” comparison to show you how successful your treatment has been from a cosmetic perspective.</p> <p>You may be asked to perform a pregnancy test to rule out any unknown pregnancy which would make you unsuitable for treatment.</p> <p>You may be asked to provide the results (via your GP) from a PAP smear test that you have had within the last 12 months. If it has been more than a year since you last had a smear test then this may be requested before commencing any non-surgical vulvo-vaginal treatments, depending on the type of treatment. The results from a smear test will need to be evaluated to check if you are suitable for treatment, particularly in relation to any abnormal results.</p> <br /> <p><strong>The procedure</strong></p> <p>This will very much depend on the specific non-surgical treatment option that you have having for your vulvo-vaginal concern, and whether this is an internal or external vaginal treatment. </p> <p>Many of the treatments will however require you to be laid down on a couch, either with your legs widely splayed apart or perhaps located in stirrups, depending on the treatment and the practitioner. For internal treatments a speculum is often introduced into the vaginal canal using a water-based gel, (that’s the same medical instrument used to perform smear tests), this is required in order for the practitioner to get a visual on the exact area being treated and to access the specific vaginal concern. Similarly, the speculum can aid the placement of the device tip ready for treatment to commence.</p> <p>Most treatments in the vulvo-vaginal area are very quick, taking 15 to 30 minutes in most cases.</p>
