The MonaLisa Touch®: A Treatment for Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness is something nobody wants to talk about. It can be an uncomfortable and sensitive topic for many individuals. However, it is critical to address this issue because it can have a significant impact on one's quality of life and intimate relationships.
We are here to talk about the uncomfortable. Ignoring or dismissing vaginal dryness can lead to physical discomfort, pain during intercourse, and even psychological distress. Seeking medical advice and exploring various treatment options can help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being.
Let's talk about an effective vaginal dryness treatment for this uncomfortable condition in this blog post.
What is Vaginal Dryness?
It is a condition where the vagina lacks sufficient moisture and lubrication. Hormonal changes like menopause or breastfeeding can cause discomfort, itching, and an increased risk of vaginal infections. However, vaginal dryness can also be a side effect of certain medications or medical conditions.
The hormone estrogen keeps the vagina moist naturally. However, a drop in estrogen levels can cause dryness down there, which can happen at any age for different reasons. This can disrupt your sexual life, but there are plenty of treatments available to help.
Consult a doctor or gynecologist for burning, itching, or discomfort in your vaginal area. They may recommend MonaLisa Touch®, a non-invasive laser therapy, for relief and improved vaginal health.
Why MonaLisa Touch ®?
MonaLisa Touch® is a popular choice because it is a safe and effective treatment option for vaginal dryness. It stimulates collagen production, restoring moisture and elasticity to vaginal tissues, providing long-lasting results, and addressing conditions like dryness, painful intercourse, and urinary incontinence.
The Monalisa laser treats:
Postmenopausal issues
Vaginal dryness
Urinary urge incontinence
Itching and burning
Vaginal tears
Loss of elasticity and tone
Painful intercourse
The Monalisa procedure is a painless and minimally invasive laser treatment for vaginal atrophy. This unique CO2 fractional laser was specifically created for the vaginal mucosa. It prevents and resolves estrogen drops in the vaginal tissue (typically occurring during menopause or after childbirth) by gently acting on the tissue of the vaginal mucosa, which reactivates the production of new collagen and reestablishes the functionality of the treated area, restoring the proper trophic balance to the mucous membrane.
Vaginal Dryness Diagnosis
Healthcare providers diagnose vaginal dryness by reviewing medical history, symptoms, a physical examination, and potentially conducting additional tests like hormone level or pH tests. These tests identify vaginal dryness causes like hormonal imbalances or infections, allowing healthcare providers to recommend treatments like the Monalisa touch to improve vaginal health.
A pelvic examination will be conducted to check for thinning or redness in the vagina and to eliminate other potential causes of your discomfort, such as infections. The doctor may also perform a Pap test by collecting cells from your vaginal wall or cervix.
When you start to experience dryness, pain, incontinence, loss of elasticity, or just vaginal changes, discuss it before it's too late. Just like preventative facial treatments, we recommend, after childbirth, an annual vaginal laser to prevent unwanted perimenopausal pain and discomfort. Call and schedule today. 509-572-2130.
