Hello Interloper!

Non-surgical vulvo-vaginal treatments include many different types of treatments which are aimed at resolving issues such as vaginal laxity or atrophy which can lead to a lack of tightness in the vagina, causing concerns with dryness, painful sex and urinary incontinence. These concerns can be caused as a result of childbirth or the natural ageing process associated with the menopause.
It is now becoming evident within the field of vulvo-vaginal treatments that there is a blurring between the concepts of cosmetic treatment (improving the appearance of the vagina, rejuvenation, the so-called ‘designer vagina’) and medical concerns (such as where sex is painful or unfulfilling, childbirth or the menopause has caused incontinence etc). Historically, gynaecologists would treat the medical concerns, but with a cash strapped NHS, even this has started to move more into the private sector. Perhaps therefore it’s a natural move that whilst a medical condition is addressed, a cosmetic one can be targeted too, and more of the private clinics now involved in vulvo-vaginal treatments include those already involved in other areas of aesthetic and cosmetic treatments.
