How Is Vaginal Rejuvenation Done?
There are different procedures that come under vaginal rejuvenation. Some of the most popular procedures that are done to improve the condition of the vagina are; radiofrequency treatments and laser treatments. In radiofrequency treatments, radiofrequency devices are used to create electromagnetic waves that heat up the top layer of the tissue and the underlying tissues create more collagen to help heal the area. In laser vaginal rejuvenation, two treatments are done about 4-6 weeks apart. A small rod is inserted into the vagina by the doctor. After the insertion, the rod is slowly pulled backward.

TREATMENTS
Diagnosis
A doctor can easily diagnose hemorrhoids. It requires a physical exam. The doctor will perform an anal exam to see if the person is suffering from piles and their severity and location. The doctor will use a proctoscope to examine the inside of the patient’s anus. The proctoscope enables the doctor to see inside and scrutinize the anal canal. The doctors will enquire about the patient’s family history and lifestyle. In certain cases, the doctor might have to recommend a colonoscopy, just to eliminate the chances of the symptoms being a result of any other condition.
Surgery
Science and technology are expanding more than ever. There are many ways to cure and soothe diseases. Just like that, medical science has come up with many options to free patients from the clutches of hemorrhoids. In most cases, piles will go away on their own, without needing any treatment. However, there are certain changes that a person can introduce to their lifestyle in order to significantly reduce the discomfort and pain that said person might experience. The first thing a medical practitioner will advise is to make changes in the lifestyle of the patient. The doctor will suggest a diet high in fiber and liquids, exercising, and avoiding stress while defecating. Next, the patient might be prescribed medication. Some of the common medications given for piles are pain relievers, laxatives, stool softeners, corticosteroids, etc. It differs according to the patient and the grade of the piles. Some of the other options are Rubber Band Ligation, in this process; the doctors tightly bind an elastic band around the base of the hemorrhoid. This will cut off the blood supply and the hemorrhoid will fall off in about 5-7 days. Although, this process will cause extreme pain to the recipient. Sclerotherapy is another option. Sclerotherapy is used for piles in grades 2 and 3. The doctors carefully inject medicine into the hemorrhoid. This will make the piles shrink and shrivel from the inside. Then, the hemorrhoid will fall off naturally. Stapling is also done to help with piles. Stapling is a medical procedure where the doctor blocks the blood flow of the hemorrhoid with the use of staples. This will also cause pain and discomfort to the patients. Hemorrhoidectomy or open surgery is also a treatment option. It is a good way to completely get rid of hemorrhoids. A Hemorrhoidectomy will result in the total removal of all the hemorrhoid tissues. However, this procedure is risky and has high chances of infection, difficulty in passing stool, and requires a lot of aftercare. Laser surgery is the latest treatment option that emerged for piles. In this, the first step is to shrink the enlarged arteries that cause hemorrhoids. This eliminates the chances of recurrence. The laser is inserted into bulges inside the anal canal through the side without breaking the mucosa and then the laser will make them shrink. The laser will cause the fluids inside the swollen arteries to evaporate and get rid of it. This is one of the most effective ways of treating piles. It is a minimally invasive surgery that doesn’t require much aftercare and is relatively painless compared to its alternatives. It also lets the patient recover soon and reduces the chances of recurrence to a great degree.
