“…The International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Vaginal Symptoms (ICIQ-VS), electronic Personal Assessment Questionnaire for Pelvic Floor Disorders (ePAQ-PF), and Questionnaire for Diagnosing Open Vagina and Vaginal Flatulence (QUDOVVF) are validated questionnaires. Most of the studies used the Vaginal Laxity Questionnaire (VLQ 4 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ; 16 studies), followed by other self-created questionnaires 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 (12 studies), ICIQ-VS 38 39 40 41 42 (5 studies), laser vaginal tightening 43 44 45 (3 studies), Visual Analog Scale (VAS 5 46 47 48 ; 4 studies), QUDOVVF 49 50 (2 studies), Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire 51 (1 study), Vaginal Functional Numeric Rating Scale (VFNRS 52 ; 1 study), and ePAQ-PF 1 (1 study).…”

This scoping review aimed to identify and categorize the available measurement options for vaginal laxity (VL) their indications of use, and whether these measurements can sufficiently provide objective clinical judgment for cases indicated for vaginal rejuvenation with many treatment options nowadays. Systematic searches were conducted on five electronic databases, manually searching articles’ bibliographies and predetermined key journals with no date or study design limitations. We included all studies involving VL in their inclusion criteria, treatment indications, and outcome parameters. We used the Arksey and O’Malley frameworks as the guideline in writing this scoping review. Of the 9,464 articles identified, 66 articles and 11,258 subjects were included in the final analysis. The majority of studies were conducted in obstetrics and gynecology (73%), followed by plastic surgery (10%), medical rehabilitation (4.5%), dermatology (4.5%), and others (8%). Most studies originated from the North American region (30%). The following measurement tools were used: (1) interviews, (2) questionnaires, (3) physical/digital examinations, (4) perineometers, and (5) others. Our results suggested that subjective perception of laxity confirmed by directed interview or questionnaire is sufficient to confirm VL. Additional evaluation of PFM through digital examination or perineometer or other preferred tools and evaluation of sexual function through validated questionnaire (FSFI, FSDS-R, etc) should follow to ensure holistic care to patients. Future research on the psychometric properties (reliability and validity) of commonly used measurements and the correlation in between subjective and objective measurements should be initiated before their clinical applications.
