Your Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation and a More Comfortable and Pleasurable Sex Life

A woman’s reproductive health significantly impacts her life journey in numerous ways. From puberty through menopause, and all that comes in between, dramatic changes can take place in your body, leaving you to deal with the aftermath, such as a decline in sexual health.

So, if you’re one of the 1.3 million women who enter menopause each year or you’ve contributed to the 3.5-3.6 million annual births in the United States with some of your own kids, you’ve likely run into a speed bump or two with your sexual health.

A great way to address these changes is through vaginal rejuvenation, a service the team of women’s health care experts at North Atlanta OB/GYN is pleased to offer women.

So, if your vaginal health is standing in the way of a satisfying and pleasurable sex life, read on to learn about your options.

MonaLisaTouch® for improved vaginal health

One of the treatments we offer under vaginal rejuvenation is a cutting-edge laser therapy, named MonaLisaTouch, which enhances the health of your vaginal tissues. With this system, we deliver energy into the vaginal mucosa tissues to stimulate collagen production. 

With a boost in collagen in your vaginal tissues, we can address things like vaginal laxity after childbirth and menopause, as well as thinning vaginal tissues associated with postmenopause.

MonaLisaTouch can also restore a better balance in your mucous membrane to support more lubrication. Vaginal dryness is one of the primary hurdles to a satisfying sex life, and, with MonaLisaTouch, we can re-establish better lubrication.

Hormone therapies

If your sex life has declined after menopause because of thinning vaginal tissues and vaginal dryness, which affects more than half of post-menopausal women, replacing lost hormones can help.

We offer several different types of hormone therapies for women, including:

• Slow-release bio-identical hormone pellets by Biote®
• Hormone pills or patches
• Topical hormone therapies

So, if you’re dealing with a host of side effects of menopause, such as declining vaginal health, as well as hot flashes and mood swings, a more systemic approach with Biote pellets might work well. 

If, however, you’d like to improve your vaginal health, we can supply you with vaginal estrogen creams that target this area alone and very well.

Kegel exercises

If vaginal laxity is a chief complaint, then you can exercise your way to better vaginal health through Kegels (click on this link to learn how to perform Kegels). These exercises target your pelvic floor, and this work can:

• Tighten and tone vaginal tissues
• Increase sensitivity thanks to more blood flow
• Strengthen orgasms 

So, the next time you’re watching TV or driving the car, try to fit some Kegel exercises in each day for better sexual health. Not to mention, this work can also prevent issues like incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

Work with your partner

Another tip for a more comfortable and pleasurable sex life is to work with your partner and keep them in the loop as to your sexual health. Through this open communication, you can also find ways to improve your sex life, such as engaging in more arousal and foreplay activities.

As you can see, you’re not without options for rejuvenating your sex life, and we’re happy to sit with you to see which treatments work best for your goals.
