Vagina01:26

Vagina

40.0K
The vaginal canal is a tubular structure averaging about 10 cm in length that acts as the entryway to the female reproductive system and the passageway for menstrual flow and childbirth. The interior walls of the vagina exhibit concentric folds called rugae and are topped by an area known as the fornix, which connects with the protruding cervical portion of the uterus. This canal is comprised of an external fibrous layer, a muscular middle layer, and an inner lining with mucosal rugae, which...

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells01:23

Tissue Renewal without Stem Cells

2.2K
After cellular or tissue damage, the resident stem cells present in the human body can locally repair and regenerate the damaged tissue or organ. However, even though some tissues do not have stem cells, they can repair and regenerate with the help of pre-existing cells. For example, beta cells of the pancreas and hepatocytes of the liver can divide to renew and regenerate the tissue. Here, both cell division and cell death are well regulated by homeostasis.
However, failure of such a system...

Whole Body Regeneration01:33

Whole Body Regeneration

4.3K
Regeneration is the process of restoring injured or lost tissues, organs, or body parts. While simpler organisms generally show greater ability to regenerate their whole body, few complex animals show similarly exceptional regeneration. For example, planarian flatworms have a unique regenerative potential making them a popular study organism among biologists to understand the mechanisms of whole body regeneration. Other organisms, such as hydra, also show extreme regeneration potential;...

Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems01:21

Intrauterine Drug Delivery Systems

62
Controlled-release systems for intravaginal and intrauterine drug delivery have been developed primarily for the administration of contraceptive steroid hormones. These delivery routes circumvent first-pass hepatic metabolism, thereby enhancing bioavailability and allowing for reduced systemic dosages compared to oral administration. Such approaches contribute to improved therapeutic efficacy and patient compliance, particularly in long-term contraceptive regimens.Intravaginal Drug Delivery...

External Female Genitals01:15

External Female Genitals

39.9K
The vulva encompasses the external structures of the female reproductive system. At the forefront is the monpubis, a cushion of fatty tissue atop the pubic bone. Once puberty sets in, this area typically grows hair. Extending from just behind the mons pubis are the labia majora (labia = 'lips'; majora = 'larger'), which are larger skin fs olds coated with hair. Nestled within are the labia minora (labia = 'lips'; minora = 'smaller'), which are thinner, more...

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

3.1K
The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular...

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Aesthetic Medicine
  • Regenerative Medicine

Background:

  • Physiologic changes (childbirth, aging, menopause) can cause vaginal laxity, pelvic floor damage, and reduced mucosal tone.
  • These changes lead to genitourinary conditions like stress urinary incontinence, vaginal atrophy, dryness, and impact quality of life, self-confidence, and sexuality.
  • Current treatments range from invasive surgery to hormone therapy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review emerging energy-based devices for vaginal rejuvenation.
  • To present the scientific evidence supporting their safety and efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on energy-based vaginal rejuvenation technologies.
  • Analysis of studies investigating thermal and nonthermal energy applications on vaginal tissues.

Main Results:

  • Energy-based devices stimulate collagen regeneration, elastin fiber contracture, neovascularization, and improve vaginal lubrication.
  • These technologies offer a novel treatment modality for various genitourinary conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Energy-based devices represent a significant advancement in vaginal rejuvenation.
  • Further research and clinical data are crucial to fully establish the long-term safety and efficacy of these innovative treatments.
