Summary

This study tests whether a non-surgical radiofrequency device can improve vaginal health and sexual function in postmenopausal women. Forty women aged 40-65 will receive either active treatment or a sham procedure over six weekly sessions. The goal is to see if this approach safely reduces common symptoms like dryness and pain without hormones.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: bipolar radiofrequency therapy (non-ablative device)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a non-hormonal option to relieve vaginal dryness, pain, and improve sexual function in postmenopausal women.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 40 participants, and the sham control may show similar results. The benefits may be modest or not last long.
