Feminine care is one such necessity that is often neglected and overlooked. Yet, it is a pressing need for women to keep themselves clean in order to stay healthy to avoid vaginal problems such as vaginal dryness, irritation, vaginal infections, abnormal discharge and odour and long-term diseases such as cervical or ovarian cancer.
Communicating with others and observing your body is something you can do to make sure that your body as well as your vagina is healthy. Pain and discomfort should not be something “normal” and if you are facing considerable pain, you should consult a doctor immediately as there may be some underlying conditions your body is going through.
However, if you’ve already consulted with a doctor and you are still facing discomfort regarding your vagina, seeking further treatment to rectify these issues should be the next step and you should not feel ashamed or scared of doing so. In this article, we will cover the symptoms and treatments for some common issues faced.
What is Vaginal Atrophy?
Vaginal atrophy is the thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls that can occur if the body has been or is producing less estrogen. Menopause can be a factor causing vaginal atrophy. [1]
Vaginal atrophy can make sexual intercourse painful and also cause distressing urinary symptoms. As this condition causes both vaginal and urinary problems, some doctors may use the term Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) to describe what you might be facing.
If you are still unsure if what you are experiencing is vaginal atrophy, here are some symptoms that you may recognise:
Vaginal dryness
Vaginal burning
Vaginal discharge
Genital itching
A feeling of burning when urinating
Urgency with urination
Frequent urination
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Light bleeding after intercourse
Discomfort with intercourse
Decreased vaginal lubrication during sexual activities
Shortening and tightening of the vaginal canal
What is Mon Pubis, Labia and Vaginal Tightening?
Cambridge Therapeutics offers Venus Fiore, a non-invasive treatment as a solution. It helps to boost collagen and elastin fibres in our bodies that will target the mon pubis, labia and vaginal looseness.
Through the use of both multi-polar radiofrequency (RF) and pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), the Venus Fiore allows for the regeneration of firm and healthy tissues while increasing the rate of healing and improving blood circulation.
Multi-Polar Radiofrequency (RF): The RF is safe for all skin types and is not absorbed by melanin. Through a safe and controlled heating method, heat from the RF can be distributed deeper into the tissues for collagen remodelling and synthesis.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF): A non-thermal mechanism, the PEMF functions to induce the release of fibroblast growth that will help to trigger the synthesis of collagen and the formation of new blood vessels for tissue regeneration.
In this treatment, there will also be three applicators fitted with single-use, disposable tips to ensure the safety and hygiene of the client.
Treating the Mon Pubis
The mon pubis is more commonly known as the pubis area where there is fatty tissue above the pubic bone. [2] Women who have had menopause or women who have recently given birth may feel a sudden increase in the size of their mon pubis because of an increase in fatty deposits in the area. This may affect the body’s appearance when wearing tight clothing.
The applicator will use the multi-polar radiofrequency (RF) to heat specific fat pads in the mon pubis without causing damage to the surrounding skin cells. Since cells have a higher resistance to heat as compared to the muscle or skin, the heat from the treatment will help to trigger the cell death of the fat cells and will be cleared away naturally by the body’s immune system.
Treating Labia Laxity
Collagen and elastin fibres will experience wear and tear with age or pregnancy which leads to the decreased elasticity of the skin. This natural laxity will give the labia a flared and sagging appearance which can cause some women to be self-consciousness.
Through the Venus Fiore treatment, the labia can be tightened by using the multi-polar radiofrequency RF) to heat the collagen and elastin fibres. This increases the production of collagen and elastin molecules which will then strengthen existing collagen fibres – tightening the labia. Combined with the pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF), the treatment will help to increase circulation and the rate of healing.
Treating Vaginal Atrophy
Undergoing invasive surgery to address vaginal atrophy is not the only solution and can sometimes be scary. This non-invasive treatment can help to ease the discomfort of a dry and uncomfortable (as well as sometimes painful) vagina.
Vaginal atrophy can not only cause discomfort in your daily life but in your sex life as well. By producing heat in the vaginal canal, this treatment aims to trigger a stimulation of collagen growth to tighten the vaginal walls through tissue tightening. The treatment will also aim to increase neovascularity to improve sensations during sexual intercourse and improve moisture levels to rectify the pain you might be facing.
Benefits and Risks of the Venus Fiore Treatment
As this is a non-invasive treatment, there are no risks involved in it and is recommended for those facing some of the issues stated above.
The Venus Fiore treatment can help to address:
The issues of vaginal laxity if any
Rectifying any pain you might have currently with your vagina
Better performance during sexual intercourse
Rectifying vagina scarring caused during childbirth
Venus Fiore Vaginal Rejuvenation Treatment
As mentioned above, the Venus Fiore treatment is ideal for those facing the above symptoms and would like a low-risk treatment that can help address your everyday issues immediately. This treatment in general provides a holistic approach towards the various issues regarding the mon pubis, labia and vaginal atrophy.

We hope this article has been informative and help you decide if you should pursue treatment for any issue you might be facing with your vagina. We believe that there is no shame in asking for treatment as you know what is best for your body and health.
The vagina is an organ we should care for and is something we should talk about more often to increase communication about the overall sexual reproductive health. It is not something “dirty” or a “secret” that has to be kept out of sight. We would highly recommend that if you are facing extreme pain, please consult a doctor.
