The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the combined application of BTL-785F and HPM-6000UF Devices in improving quality of life in women with negative changes in the urogenital system (vulvovaginal atrophy symptoms, urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction). The main question it aims to answer is:

Does the combined application of BTL-785F and HPM-6000UF Devices reduces the score of the Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire?

Participants will:

* Undergo 6 treatment sessions.Three sessions will consist of combined application of BTL-785F and HPM-6000UF devices and three sessions will consist of standalone application of the HPM-6000UF device. * Attend follow-up visits * Complete questionnaires

Treatment and study plan

Treatment with BTL-785F and HPM-6000UF Devices

Device

Three treatment sessions will consist of the consecutive application of the BTL-785F and HPM-6000UF devices, delivered 5-10 days apart. Three sessions will consist of the standalone application of the HPM-6000UF device, delivered 2-4 days apart. The treatments with BTL-785 device equipped with BTL-785-3 applicator will last 2-10 minutes and with HPM-6000UF 28 minutes.

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of Change in Quality of Life of Women with Vulvovaginal Atrophy Symptoms

    Time frame: 12 months

    The change in the score obtained from the Vulvovaginal Symptoms Questionnaire will be recorded. The questionnaire will be administered at the baseline visit, after the last treatment, and at the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up visits. The score ranges from 0 to 16 for sexually inactive women and from 0 to 20 for sexually active women. An improvement is defined as a decrease in score.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assessment of Change in Quality of Life of Women with Urinary Incontinence

    Time frame: 12 months

    The change in the score obtained from the King's Health Questionnaire will be recorded. The questionnaire will be administered at the baseline visit, after the last treatment, and at the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up visits. The score ranges between 0 to 100 for the nine domains, and between 0 to 30 for the Symptom Severity Scale. An improvement is defined as a decrease in score.

  2. Assessment of Change in Sexual Functioning

    Time frame: 12 months

    The change in the score obtained from the 6-item Female Sexual Function Index will be recorded. The questionnaire will be administered at the baseline visit, after the last treatment, and at the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up visits. The score ranges between 0 to 30. An improvement is defined as an increase in score.

  3. Assessment of Therapy Comfort

    Time frame: 12 months

    Therapy Comfort questionnaire will be used for evaluating the comfort during the treatment sessions. The Therapy Comfort questionnaire will be administered after the last treatment. Therapy Comfort questionnaire consists of the question "I found the treatment comfortable", to which responses are based on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = "strongly disagree", and 5 = "strongly agree") and the 10-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain"). A higher score for the statement "I found the treatment comfortable", and lower score on the Numeric Pain Rating Scale indicate higher therapy comfort.

  4. Assessment of Satisfaction

    Time frame: 12 months

    Subject Satisfaction with treatment outcomes will be assessed using 5-point Likert Scale Subject Satisfaction questionnaire. The questionnaire will be administered after the last treatment, and at the 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month follow-up visits. Responses to questions about the treated urogenital area will range from "strongly agree" (1 point) to "strongly disagree" (5 points). A higher score for each statement indicate better outcomes.

  5. Incidence of Treatment-related Adverse Events

    Time frame: 12 months

    Monitoring of adverse reactions and side effects will be performed for the evaluation of safety of the combined application of the BTL-785F and HPM-6000UF devices and to identify side effects and adverse events associated with the study treatment.
