Is this a normal looking vagina? Would MLT benefit me at all?
Appropriate candidate for MonaLisa Touch
Feb 19, 2019
Feb 19, 2019
The MonaLisa Touch fractional CO2 laser is used to treat the genitourinary symptoms of menopause. These symptoms include dry vagina, painful intercourse due to dryness, itchy vulva, mild stress incontinence and urge incontinence. As a 53 year old you may be starting to get some of these symptoms, most women do within several years of menopause. The MonaLisa Touch will not treat prolapse. The images you have provided do not show obvious prolapse but an examination by your gynecologist can…
Why is the MonaLisa laser treatment not recommended for someone that has had precancer
MonaLisa Touch after treatment for precancerous cells of the vulva
Feb 9, 2019
Feb 9, 2019
One of the common symptoms of vulvar atrophy is itch. This is also a common symptom of vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN, pre-cancerous cells of the vulva). It is crucial for any woman planning to have MonaLisa Touch that they be examined by a gynecologist, especially if they are experiencing vulvar itch. A vulvar biopsy should be performed to rule out VIN if there is any suspicion. If someone has been appropriately treated for VIN and at examination there is no evidence of…
Will the MonaLisa Touch help someone with possible endometriosis and many UTIs?
MonaLisa Touch for endometriosis
Feb 7, 2019
Feb 7, 2019
MonaLisa Touch will not help if you have endometriosis. For menopausal women with recurrent urinary tract infections, the MonaLisa Touch can help reduce, or eliminate, their frequency. In someone of your age, an effective way to “test” if you have endometriosis is to induce menopause with a medication like Lupron. If you are still having pain after a 3 month trial of Lupron, it is most likely not due to endometriosis. I would recommend referral to a urologist for your recurrent urinary…
Is there risk of blood clots with Vaginal Rejuvenation?
Risk of blood clots at vaginal rejuvenation
Feb 7, 2019
Feb 7, 2019
The MonaLisa Touch procedure has been shown to reduce vaginal laxity in women who underwent the procedure for treatment of the genitourinary symptoms of menopause. The procedure takes 5 minutes. When the vagina is being treated, most women feel a sense of mild vibration and no anesthesia or sedation is required. Prior to treating the vulva we apply either 5% lidocaine gel, or Emla cream. If anything, women describe a tingling sensation. Again, no sedation is required. The MonaLisa…
Can weight lifting, leg stretching, masturbation loosen vagina?
Masturbation and vaginal tightness
Feb 6, 2019
Feb 6, 2019
Masturbation is a healthy activity and will not loosen your vagina. The exercise you describe, such as weight lifting and leg stretching can only help improve the tone of your pelvic floor. You may wish to add Kegel exercises to your workout. A simple technique is to put your hands on a table top, cross your legs and then lift and hold your pelvic muscles for 10 seconds (the same feeling as stopping the flow when urinating). Do this 10 times and repeat 10 times a day and before…
MonaLisa VS Femilift: which procedure is the best and why?
MonaLisa Touch vs FemiLift
Feb 6, 2019
Feb 6, 2019
Both of these products are CO2 lasers used to treat the genitourinary symptoms of menopause. Like there are differences between cars, some having different features than others, these two lasers are not exactly the same. The main difference between these two lasers is that essentially all of the published medical studies demonstrating the benefit of the CO2 laser in treating these symptoms have been done using the MonaLisa Touch. Without supporting literature, one should not assume that all…
Could topical DHE cream help with the severe vaginal and labia atrophy?
DHEA cream vs. MonaLisa Touch for vaginal/vulvar atrophy
Feb 6, 2019
Feb 6, 2019
A 2018 study looking at 12 weeks of DHEA intravaginal cream vs. placebo in 482 women showed a reduction in symptoms like painful intercourse without an increase in measured steroid levels. However, like other topical treatments, the benefits would likely go away as soon as you stop using the DHEA. After the initial 3 treatments, fractional CO2 laser (MonaLisa Touch) has the benefit of long lasting results requiring re-treatment only once a year. Talk to…
