Another happy Thermiva patient.

The non surgical radio frequency treatment for urinary problems.

The treatment has been really helpful and made a big difference. It’s fantastic not to be getting up constantly throughout the night and not have to constantly use pessaries and potions.

Thank you your help - as always!

I am a married 52 year old lawyer with two teenage boys. After my two va**nal births and with age, I noticed reduced sensation during in*******se and slight leaks when doing strenuous exercise. My children were both 4.6kg (10lbs) so I knew that this was not uncommon and started to look into treatments that might help but I was very embarrassed and nervous to speak to a medical provider.When it comes to medical interventions, I am very conservative and thorough in my research. I read everything I could find on the subject and carefully considered the pros and cons of each treatment. I settled on Thermiva as I was not a candidate for surgery and had reservations about the use of lasers.I live in London and sent out about ten exploratory emails asking various providers about Thermiva. Only three bothered to reply, one of which was Dr Griffiths. Dr Griffiths from the beginning of this process has been wonderful. I was nervous speaking about such a sensitive issue but he immediately put me at ease with his professionalism, clear knowledge and expertise on the subject. He is a fountain of knowledge on women’s s*xual health, menopause, pelvic floor health & hormones.I had hundreds of questions, worries and concerns and he patiently answered them all until I was sure that Thermiva was for me. He really could not have done more.When I met Dr Griffiths in person, I knew I was in good hands the moment I saw him. He was kind, professional and very keen to offer advice on how to strengthen my pelvic floor, hormone & menopause related issues and s*xual function.The Thermiva treatment itself was very effective. It was painless- felt like a warm internal massage with some pressure. Dr Griffiths constantly checked in with me to make sure I was tolerating the treatment. The results on the outer lips of my va**na was immediate. It looked younger and more lifted right away. Internally, even after the first treatment, I could feel a difference in the tightness, making s*x much improved. I feel more confident and because the lubrication and tightness are improved, I feel better in the bedroom.The effects on the pelvic floor strength was immediate and even a year later I do not experience leaks while jogging, doing aerobics or spin class.I have just seen Dr Griffiths for my yearly top up and again the results have been immediate. I recommend him unreservedly.

From a patient in our London Clinic:

So, the morning after the night before - when I had the thermiva treatment up at
Two words - game changer!
As I walked back last night I was aware for the first time in 5 years that I could actually walk without my l***a getting in the way! No irritation - and today as I stroll back from a coffee with a friend - the same! No pain, no rubbing, no feeling the need to rearrange myself!
Big relief.
Thank you so much Marta - the very lovely pelvic floor physio who did the treatment for me ( and listened to me whinge for 30 mins) and Gynaecolgist David Griffiths for assessing me as suitable for it. (Assessment is key!)
Am looking forward to the long term results to come!

Another happy ThermiVa patient

I just wanted to say - THANK YOU.
For the first time in about 5 years I walked home after the treatment and wasn’t aware of where my l***al lips were! Freedom!
That is a big thing!

I was very apprehensive and nervous about having the ThermiVa treatment in view of my past history of prolapse and repair. I am so glad I decided to try the treatment and from the first one I noticed a considerable difference in how tight and lifted my va**na and pelvic floor felt. Also I suffer with va**nal dryness and this has also improved and in*******se is much more comfortable. I have now completed my course of three treatments and I feel more confident and happy with the outcome. Thank you so much David for your valued guidance and support and professional care throughout. It is much appreciated

I must admit I was very sceptical about the ThermiVa treatment beforehand and not sure what to expect. I am pleased to say that I haven’t suffered with any side effects so far, so all good.

I must admit the treatment has certainly given me a marked improvement, not only in the look of my va**na but the l***a area also appears fuller. I feel ‘lifted’ and light inside and the pelvic floor muscles feel stronger and tighter when doing the exercises. My husband has commented on how firm and smoother it all feels.

So all in all I think this was a success for me! I feel much more confident about things now.

Thank you so much for your guidance and care in making me feel at ease it is much appreciated.
