At Coastal Women’s Health in Gosford, Dr. Farag, a trusted gynaecologist with over 20 years of experience, offers an innovative solution for women dealing with vaginal atrophy—MonaLisa Touch. This non-surgical treatment is designed to help women regain their vaginal health, particularly those experiencing symptoms related to menopause or aging. Vaginal atrophy, also known as vaginal aging, affects over 40% of menopausal and post-menopausal women, and Dr. Farag is here to provide expert care with this advanced technology.
What is Vaginal Atrophy?
Vaginal atrophy occurs when the walls of the vagina become thinner, lose their elasticity, and receive less blood flow, typically due to a decrease in estrogen levels. This natural aging process can cause the protective mucosa of the vagina to lose hydration and thickness, leading to a reduction in lubrication and changes in the natural pH balance. These changes can have a significant impact on the health and function of the vagina, affecting both physical comfort and emotional well-being.
Common Symptoms of Vaginal Atrophy Include:
- Vaginal dryness or itchiness
- Burning sensations and irritation
- Fissures or small tears at the vaginal opening
- Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
- General vaginal pain or discomfort
These symptoms can severely impact a woman’s quality of life, making everyday activities uncomfortable and intimate relationships difficult.
How Can the MonaLisa Touch Help?
MonaLisa Touch offers a breakthrough in the treatment of vaginal atrophy by stimulating the natural regeneration of vaginal tissue. This non-surgical procedure has been available in Australia since 2013 and is used by a select group of gynaecologists, urogynaecologists, and menopause specialists. The treatment involves a simple 5-minute session that delivers a precise amount of heat to the vaginal walls, encouraging the regeneration of tissue, cell proliferation, and the restoration of vaginal wall strength and blood supply.
Unlike traditional treatments that focus on managing the symptoms of vaginal atrophy, the MonaLisa Touch addresses the root cause—restoring the vaginal structure itself. This leads to longer-lasting relief from symptoms and offers a more effective solution for women who may not have been suitable for previous treatments.
The Benefits of MonaLisa Touch
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive: The treatment is quick, painless, and requires no downtime, allowing women to return to their daily activities right away.
- Long-lasting relief: By addressing the underlying causes of vaginal atrophy, the MonaLisa Touch provides results that last longer than many traditional treatments.
- Effective for a wide range of women: Whether you are experiencing menopause or the effects of vaginal aging, MonaLisa Touch offers an option for women who may not have been candidates for hormone-based therapies or other treatments.
