There are procedures to flatten and remove excess labia majora tissue. You should also look in to ThermiVa for tightening of the external skin which may give you the result you desire.

Orgasmic and sexual dysfunction in women is extremely common, and it is a problem that may occur due to many issues and factors. Inability to orgasm at all or easily can be related to age, hormone levels, neurologic damage, medical/health problems, medications, socio- and psychological factors, relationship issues, etc.

If you look at preliminary testimonials (thermiva.org), ThermiVa decreases looseness and increases sensation, which may, in turn, improve sexual function and improve or create stronger orgasms.

At lot of it depends on what underlying factors and issues exist? ThermiVa will not likely improve libido or desire. 

If you suffer from orgasmic dysfunction, I strongly urge you to look into the O-shot.

As good of a treatment as ThermiVa is, results are not forever. This is true of FemiLift and Mona Lisa Touch, Three treatments 1 month apart of ThermiVa are recommended (they take 20-30 min), and then with follow up about yearly. Follow up treatments can be based on patient symptoms. Follow up treatments more than yearly are also completely safe. Everybody is different. Our bodies have constant cellular turnover so collagen levels will also be less over time if you do not maintain maintenance therapy.

Are you speaking of excessive vaginal discharge? Or urinary leakage? Or perspiration on the outside of the mons and vulva area between the legs that can often feel wet from sweating? The internal vagina does not technically have apocrine glands to produce sweat.

ThermiVa inside the vagina will actually increase lubrication and secretions in women who are more dry, which is very common as we get older.

So this may not be the treatment that may help your symptoms.

ThermiVaTM is a temperature-regulated radiofrequency heat technology that treats vaginal laxity sensation (looseness) and tightens the labia externally and the vagina internally. It is FDA approved for treatment of vaginal laxity. It is an office-based treatment that is non-ablative, painless, there is no anesthesia, no downtime, no lasers, no discharge, no sloughing off of the vaginal mucosa. Because this was a new device in my office that I invested in, of course, I tried it on myself. It’s like a warm massage of the vaginal walls that doesn’t hurt. The high radiofrequency heat energy promotes new growth of collagen and improved coordination of muscle activity and strength. Increased collagen is what tightens up the looser vaginal mucosa. It does not hurt at all. And you don’t need to take off any time from work after the treatment.
