Objectives: In this presentation related to our on going study, we aimed to show that the COG threads can use intravaginally for non-surgical vaginal tightening and the treatment of mild SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence)
Introduction: There are many kind of threads are used in aesthetic medicine. Development in their production technology made their fields of usage more wider than before. Recently, threads entered the cosmetic gynecology as a new field. In our study, we aimed to show the efficiency of COG (barbed) for rejuvenation, tightening and lifting of vaginal mucosa.
Materials / method: We chose the subjects from the patients who applied to our clinic for sexual pleasure deficiency related to vaginal relaxation and we excluded the others who had POP (Pelvic Organ Prolapsus) or/and other systemic contraindications. Under the local anesthesia, we inserted the threads into the vaginal mucosa by our two new techniques, VTT-Lᴿ (Vaginal Thread Tightening-Longitudinal) and VTT-Cᴿ (Vaginal Thread Tightening-Circular). All patients were evaluated by FSFI scoring (Female Sexual Function Index) and by 5 Points Likert Scale for the patient satisfaction before and after the procedure.
Results: We determined that vaginal COG applications tighten the vagina by mucosal thickening with biological and mechanical effects. As a result, we found an acceptable difference between before and after scoring of the validated questionaries and most of the patients declerated the results good / very good.
Conclusion: Although there isn’t any published study about intravaginal COG thread applications in literature yet and we could not have enough number of patients, most of the women included in our study declerated that they were satisfied from the results. We believe that intravaginal thread applications can be an alternative to other non-surgical or surgical vaginal tightening and therapeutic SUI methods in future.
