Abstract

A device (1, 20, 100, 200) for treating vaginal atrophy, the device comprising a treatment module (2, 21, 101, 201) configured for insertion into the vagina and having a minimally invasive module. The minimally invasive module is configured to deliver negative pressure mechanical minimally invasive therapy to a vaginal wall when inserted. The minimally invasive module comprises a plurality of apertures (6, 106, 206) fluidly connected to a vacuum pump, said means being arranged to generate a negative pressure at said apertures (6, 106).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices for the treatment of vaginal atrophy. Methods of treating vaginal atrophy / xerosis are also contemplated. Background technique [0002] Vulvar and / or vaginal atrophy (VVA / VA) is a chronic and progressive condition due to estrogen reduction or deficiency. Vaginal atrophy (VA) is a chronic and progressive condition that affects approximately 80% of women at some point in their lifetime due to hormonal changes. This is due to decreased estrogen levels, causing the vagina and surrounding tissues to become dry, thin, and inflamed. Symptoms include chronic dryness, itching, irritation and pain. Studies have shown that it can impair a woman's quality of life, affect intimate relationships, and make sitting, standing, exercising, urinating, and even working uncomfortable. VA is a common condition, most common in women in the menopausal age range and breast cancer survivors (BCS). It is estimated that by 2020, there ...
