INTRODUCTION: The use of high-power intravaginal radiofrequency for GSM disorders using a finger-shaped device has had evident results. On the other hand, the use of a vibrator has been introduced to improve sexual function in women, also reporting good results in the IFSF-19. We added a 100 MHz vibrator to the Capenergy MJS device to find out if these simultaneous effects improve sexual function with GSM.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS: 32 patients were studied assigned to each group simple random sampling, 16 with vibrator and 16 without. In both cases, same method was used: frequency with best absorption and energy power with greatest absorption. Device was applied externally and was introduced without using vibrator, and one minute of vibration was applied every 4 minutes. Non-vibration group, 20 minutes were applied equally to the vulva and vagina. Treatment was repeated twice a week for 4 weeks. Participants were asked to answer the VSQ-21, ISFS-19 and VAS scale before and after and two months.
RESULTS: Response VAS scale decreased for both groups in a statistically significant way with vibration 3.63 before 2 after, without vibration 2.81 before 1.75 after. All VSQ-21 values in its 4 domains improved with vibration 9.25 before and 4.68 after, without vibrator 8.91 before 2.58 after. Results were statistically significant p <0.05, with those who used vibrator being better. ISFS-19 also improved the values 22.1 to 25.3 with vibrator and 20.7 to 25.6 if vibration these results are statistically significant p <0.05 achieving better results in improvement sexual activity in the vibrator group. The values remain low at two months.
CONCLUSION: As can be seen in results, although both groups improve their symptoms, simultaneous use of vibration for 5 minutes improves GSM symptoms and sexual activity more and does so more powerfully than when energy is applied alone.
