Stress not, there are solutions to these disconcerting conditions.
As our bodies go through life changes such as pregnancy and menopause, our vagina ages as well.
Vaginal laxity, or “looseness”, occurs as part of the aging process, pregnancy and vaginal delivery. Sometimes, women with this condition experience loss of sensation in the vagina leading to less sexual satisfaction and low self-esteem. This condition is poorly recognized and often under-diagnosed.
Stress urinary incontinence may also occur as part of the aging process. This involuntary leaking of urine may be embarrassing, but is actually a common condition that affects millions of women (and men) worldwide.
Treatment Options
In Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, a sample of your blood is taken, and spun down at high speeds. A concentrated golden extract rich in platelets and growth factors is produced. This extract is re-injected into areas just under and beside the urine tract opening. It induces growth of tissues in this region reducing stress urinary incontinence through strengthening the support structures of the urine tract. PRP is side effect free, it is after all the product of your own blood.
Laser using CO2 fractional laser is delivered into the vaginal canal using a gentle probe. The lasers create multiple tiny holes in the Vagina down to the layers where the collagen resides. This stimulates collagen stacking and new collagen formation together with elastic tissue and hydration. Creating an effect of tightening that can be significantly appreciated at 3-6 months from the start of the procedure.
