CONTACT DIATHERMY AND ENDOGENOUS HYPERTHERMIA
targeted treatment of pelvic tissues
There radiofrequency and radioporation represents an instrumental method that uses high frequency currents For generate controlled heat in the tissues and stimulate their natural repair processesIn the gynecological and pelvic-perineal fields it is used as support for medical and rehabilitation therapy, with the aim of reduce pain, improve circulation and promote tissue elasticity.
This is a non-invasive procedure, performed in an outpatient setting, which uses the so-called contact diathermy and endogenous hyperthermia: the energy penetrates deeply and induces controlled internal heating, without damaging the skin's surface.
Radiofrequency and radioporation treatment is customized based on each patient's specific needs and is complemented by gynecological examinations, pelvic floor assessments, and, when necessary, targeted rehabilitation programs led by dedicated professionals.
radio frequency
what it is and how it works
There radiofrequency and radioporation It is based on the application of a high-frequency electric current, capable of generating heat in the tissues due to internal resistance.
This phenomenon, defined diathermy, determines a controlled increase in temperature in the treated areas, with a series of physiological effects:
- improvement of trophism and microcirculation
- greater oxygenation of the tissues
- stimulation of collagen and elastin production
- acceleration of repair processes
During the session, the body is not "passive": the endogenous heat activates profound biological responses, promoting a rebalancing of muscle tone, vascular permeability, and intra- and extracellular exchanges.
Radioporation combines a thermal effect with an enhanced delivery of active ingredients, helping to improve the hydration and quality of tissues treated in specific protocols.
Times, types of tests and interpretation of the results
physiological effects on pelvic tissues
In the pelvic area, radiofrequency and radioporation are used for support pelvic floor rehabilitation work and the management of painful or scarring conditions.
The deep thermal action contributes to:
- rebalance the membrane potential of cells
- regulate the intra and extracellular flow of fluids
- modulate the activity of the autonomic nervous system (sympathetic and parasympathetic)
- promote the drainage of metabolites and toxins
- stimulate immunomodulators through biochemical response mechanisms
- accelerate tissue repair processes
This allows the tissues to regain tone and elasticity, improving local comfort and daily functioning. The patient typically experiences a pleasant sensation of warmth, along with muscle relaxation and reduction of tension.
Clinical indications in gynecology and pelvic rehabilitation
There radiofrequency and radioporation It is used, as part of structured programs, in various gynecological and pelvic-perineal conditions. Its main indications include:
Chronic pelvic pain and vulvodynia
In the forms of chronic pelvic pain, myofascial trigger points, and vulvodyniaEndogenous heat can help reduce pain, promote relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles, and improve tissue trophism. The goal is not only to alleviate the symptom, but to incorporate treatment into a multimodal approach that includes gynecological assessment, rehabilitation, and, when necessary, psychological support.
Vulvovaginal atrophy, dryness and related disorders
In vulvovaginal atrophy and vaginal dryness, often linked to hormonal imbalances (for example in menopause), radiofrequency and radioporation can be used to improve local blood flow, support tissue regeneration and help recover elasticity and comfort during daily life and sexual intercourse, in association with the therapies recommended by the gynecologist.
Urinary incontinence, prolapse, and changes in muscle tone
In cases of stress or urge urinary incontinence and in early forms of prolapse, treatment can be combined with pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises. By improving oxygenation and muscle trophism, radiofrequency and radioporation support the recovery of tone and coordination of supporting structures, according to individualized protocols.
Vaginismus, scars and surgical outcomes
In vaginismus and pelvic floor muscle contractures, thermal action promotes relaxation and pain modulation, helping to reduce the reflex defense response. On scars (e.g., from episiotomy or cesarean section), it can improve vascularization, oxygenation and collagen synthesis, with a softening effect on the tissues and reduction of any scar pain.
conduct of the sessions and duration of the course
The sessions of radiofrequency and radioporation they have a indicative duration of 20–30 minutes, variable based on the area treated and the clinical condition.
The cycle is defined by the professional after the initial evaluation; in many cases the following are foreseen:
- 5–6 sessions as a basic cycle, with the possibility of extending up to 10 sessions when necessary
- the first 3 sessions approximately 3 days apart
- the subsequent ones on a weekly basis
Regularity is crucial: sessions that are spaced too far apart or interrupted can slow down the achievement of maximum benefit. Before starting the program, the modalities, realistic goals, and possible response times are clearly explained, so that the patient can confidently adhere to the treatment.
Safety, contraindications, and the role of the gynecologist
Radiofrequency and radioporation are generally well tolerated; however, as with any medical procedure, it requires proper patient selection and consideration of any contraindications (for example, the presence of specific implantable devices, certain acute pathologies, or particular local conditions).
For this reason, the treatment is always included within a path followed by a specialist, who evaluates:
- general health status
- gynecological and obstetric history
- the presence of scars, surgical outcomes or pelvic pathologies
- the therapeutic goals and the patient's expectations
In this way the radiofrequency and radioporation It becomes an integrated tool in the management of pelvic pain, functional disorders, and scarring issues, rather than an isolated treatment.
