Are you experiencing a change in your intimate health with age that has affected your comfort and confidence? Are conditions like itching or burning sensations, frequent visits to the bathroom, persistent urinary tract infections, or pain during intimate moments making you feel uncomfortable? These changes may be linked to vaginal atrophy, also known as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM). For many women, the transition through perimenopause and menopause brings unexpected changes that can affect intimate health, comfort, and overall well-being.
What is Vaginal Atrophy or GSM
Vaginal atrophy, or GSM is a condition in which the vaginal tissues become thinner, drier, less elastic, and more fragile due to a decline in the levels of estrogen, the main female hormone. Estrogen plays an important role in maintaining elasticity, thickness, moisture and blood supply of vaginal tissues. GSM most commonly occurs during perimenopause and menopause, but can also affect women after childbirth and during breastfeeding. Multiple vaginal childbirths cause stretching and trauma to the vaginal tissues, leading to looseness of the vagina.
Common Symptoms of Vaginal Atrophy/GSM
- Vaginal itchiness, burning or irritation
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Repeated episodes of infection affecting intimate health
- The urge to use the washroom more frequently
- Ongoing vaginal infections that keep returning and impact comfort and quality of life
How we at Kasturi Hospital-Regenerative Clinic help you get your confidence back with advanced treatment solutions for Vaginal Atrophy
Kasturi Hospital-Regenerative Clinic is equipped with cutting edge technology, Fotona’s RenovaLase®, a unique and innovative, non -surgical, non-invasive Er:YAG laser therapy to treat the symptoms of vaginal atrophy. The best of the all lasers, this technology is based on non-ablative photothermal treatment of the vaginal canal. The RenovaLase® treatment is based on laser-induced, mild and controlled heating, leading to rejuvenation of the vaginal lining, thickening of the vaginal wall, and increase in the thickness of the epithelial tissues, thus reducing symptoms such as dryness, itching, irritation and pain during intercourse. The laser therapy results in increase in blood vessels (neovascularisation) and fibroblasts (elastogenesis) and synthesis of new collagen fibres (neocollagenesis). It is an easy-to-use, efficient, quick, safe and an outpatient procedure with long lasting results. With this procedure, patients don’t need to go for long-term estrogen administration treatment.
The specialist gynaecologists at Kasturi Hospital-Regenerative Clinic use Fotona IntimaLase®, Er:YAG laser therapy, considered the Rolls Royce of all lasers, for incision-less, non-invasive photothermal tightening of the vaginal canal. It is a safe, easy to perform procedure to thermally stimulate the vaginal tissues, leading to new collagen formation in the vaginal tissues, helping in the tightening of the vagina. Post procedure, the patient does not experience any wetness, discomfort, infections or pain. With little or no downtime, the patient can return to her daily routine, including sexual activity.
The laser therapies are safe for patients with medical disorders where surgery is risky, and for those who lack the fitness to undergo surgery.
