“…The theory of VL trapping air, thus leading to vaginal wind is plausible. In a study aimed at evaluating this symptom, vaginal wind was found to share many of the VL characteristics uncovered in our study, most importantly its higher prevalence in younger women and the lack of association with POP …”

Objective To evaluate the prevalence of vaginal laxity (VL) and its correlates in a cohort of women attending a urogynecology clinic in a tertiary referral center in Saudi Arabia. Methods In this retrospective study, demographic information, clinical characteristics, and POP‐Q system measurements for women attending the King Fahad Medical City Urogynecology Clinic (January 2013 to April 2015) were analyzed. Women with and without VL were compared across these variables. Results Out of 376 women attending the clinic for various reasons, 135 (35.9%) reported VL. VL was more common in younger women (P<0.001). Parity, menopausal status, and diabetes were not associated with this symptom. A history of cesarean delivery was protective (aOR 0.39; 95% CI, 0.17–0.90). A bulge symptom and “vaginal wind” were predictors (aOR 3.25; 95% CI, 1.46–7.23 and aOR 15.48; 95% CI, 6.93–34.56, respectively). There was no correlation between VL and POP‐Q measurements. VL was not associated with the presence of clinically significant prolapse (stage 2–4), compared with nonsignificant prolapse (stage 0–1) (P=0.869, P=0.152, and P=0.783 for anterior, posterior, and central vaginal compartment, respectively). Conclusions In this cohort, VL was common, more prevalent in younger women, and had poorly defined clinical correlates.

“…Functionally, they may struggle with clothing discomfort or dyspareunia in addition to struggles relating to body image or feelings of inadequacy during intimate moments. Patients may also have complaints of vaginal laxity, now defined by the IUGA/ICS as “excessive vaginal looseness,” or have issues with air trapping or vaginal wind resulting in noises emanating from the vagina during activity .…”

Gynecologist and plastic surgeons pioneered the application of lasers in medicine and surgery almost 5 decades ago, initially used to treat cervical and vaginal pathologies. Ever since, energy-based devices have been deployed to treat pelvic pathologies and improve fertility. Recent technological developments triggered an unprecedented wave of publications, assessing the efficacy of fractional laser, and radiofrequency on the vaginal wall in reversing natural aging processes. Studies have shown that a certain degree of thermal energy deposited on the vaginal wall stimulates proliferation of the glycogen-enriched epithelium, neovascularization, and collagen formation in the lamina propria, and improves natural lubrication and control of urination. This review aimed to review such data and to guide future research. A unique assembly of experts from around the globe, compiled and edited this manuscript based on a thorough literature review and personal experience. Lasers Surg. Med. 49:137–159, 2017.

“…Les rapports sexuels étaient en cause dans 54% des cas, sinon les GV survenaient au cours de l'activité physique. Une étude comparative (19) de prévalence des GV chez 110 femmes (âge moyen 55 ans) dont 59 avaient un prolapsus et 51 sans, ne montre aucune différence en présence ou non d'un tel trouble de la statique. La majorité des femmes (87%) expérimentaient ces GV pendant les rapports sexuels avec une gêne chez 64% d'entre elles mais seulement 22% considéraient que ces GV déterminaient une altération de leur qualité de vie.…”
