1. A vaginal device, comprising:
a conformable vaginal insert shaped for insertion into a vaginal cavity of a vagina of a female human;
a contact point configured to change a shape of the conformable vaginal insert;
a sensor configured to measure and to relay characteristics of the vagina, vaginal cavity, structures surrounding the vagina and the vaginal cavity, and structures supportive of the vagina and the vaginal cavity, wherein the characteristics are acquired on one of a one-time basis and a multiple-time basis comprising one of a non-continuous period, a continuous period, and an intermittent temporal period; and
a processor configured to:
control the contact point to adjust the shape of the conformable vaginal insert;
generate a treatment for the vagina and the vaginal cavity, the surrounding structures of the vagina and the vaginal cavity, and the supportive structures of the vagina and the vaginal cavity comprising a vaginal cavity and vaginal profile generated from the characteristics to change the characteristics of the vagina and the vaginal structures surrounding the vagina and the vaginal cavity, and the structures supportive of the vagina and the vaginal cavity;
store the characteristics and the vagina and the vaginal cavity profile; and
based on the characteristics and the vaginal cavity and vaginal profile, automatically modify the shape of the conformable vaginal insert on one of a further one-time basis and a further multiple-time basis comprising one of a further non-continuous period, a further continuous period, and a further intermittent temporal period by control of the contact point to provide the treatment to the vagina, the vaginal cavity, the structures surrounding the vagina and the vaginal cavity, and structures supportive of the vagina and the vaginal cavity.
