Vaginal discomfort, sexual side effects of Menopause

Apr 7, 2021 9:00:00 AM

Menopause has its benefits – no more hassles or pain dealing with monthly periods, no more worries about unexpected pregnancy. But the onset of menopause can also bring a wide range of undesirable symptoms for women. And while most of these symptoms eventually go away, for many women vaginal and sexual side effects remain.

Ladies, you do not have to resign yourselves to these symptoms! MonaLisa® Touch treatment works to restore post-menopausal vaginal health so you can feel and function like your younger self again.

Say Goodbye to No-Fun Symptoms that Linger

As you enter and go through menopause, you may suffer from insomnia, hot flashes or chills, night sweats, mood changes, and so on. You put up with these symptoms, knowing they will resolve once the menopause process is complete.

But menopause leaves your body with permanently reduced estrogen production, and that can cause serious symptoms no one wants:

  • Vaginal atrophy
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Discomfort (or outright pain) during intercourse
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Increased risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs)

You can experience these frustrating symptoms whether you go through menopause naturally. But surgical removal of the ovaries (not the uterus) also causes estrogen production to cease, effectively causing “instant menopause.” Some types of cancer therapies also interrupt estrogen production and induce menopause.

MonaLisa® Touch is a non-invasive laser treatment that works to restore tissue health throughout the vaginal area (internally and externally).

Treatment sessions take just five minutes. Five minutes! They are painless, and you can go right back to your normal routine afterward. It takes a series of three treatments to achieve desired results – we usually schedule these a few weeks apart, to give your body a chance to heal in between. The treatment also helps correct vaginal pH, reducing risk of urinary tract infections.

It’s so simple it sounds too good to be true. But Dr. Elise Brown and Dr. Scott Brown can tell you from personal experience that our patients experience improvement that is even better than expected. MonaLisa® Touch is safe and effective for all women.

Take Action for a More Enjoyable Future

There are lots of things you can do to try to alleviate vaginal and sexual post-menopausal symptoms. You can purchase over-the-counter creams that lubricate the vagina all the time or prior to having intercourse. You can also perform pelvic floor exercises to strengthen weakened muscles that allow stress urinary incontinence. These things do help many women, but they are temporary so you have to keep doing them.  

There are prescription meds your doctor can order to replace lost estrogen. However, many women don’t want estrogen treatment because it’s expensive and can cause other detrimental side-effects. Hormones are not even an option if you’ve had or are undergoing certain kinds of cancer treatment.

MonaLisa® Touch lets all women take corrective action that doesn’t involve hormones or any type of invasive procedure. And it actually works! So what are you waiting for? Relief starts with your first appointment, and after just three short sessions you’re on your way to becoming the woman you remember – comfortable and confident, even in your most intimate moments.
