It is natural for women to develop vaginal health issues as they age, especially after giving birth or going through menopause. Fortunately, laser therapy is an effective treatment for many of the most common conditions. This minimally invasive procedure restores the vaginal mucous layer by stimulating the production of collagen along the vaginal walls. Continue reading to find out whether or not you may be a good candidate for the procedure.

Factors That Make You a Viable Candidate for Vaginal Laser Therapy

You Don’t Have History of Keloid Formation

A keloid is a hard growth that develops due to excessive scar tissue. Keloids are benign, but they can inhibit laser therapy from producing the results you want. If you do not have a history of keloid formation, you may be a good candidate for vaginal laser therapy.

You Have No Desire to Undergo an Invasive Surgery

Certain vaginal rejuvenation procedures, like labiaplasty and vaginoplasty, can treat or improve many of the same conditions that laser therapy targets. However, they are more invasive surgical procedures. If you do not want to undergo an operation, but you are determined to improve your sex life following menopause, laser therapy could be the answer.

You Have a Condition That Is Treatable

Vaginal laser therapy can treat vaginal dryness and urinary stress incontinence. It can also improve vaginal tightness. If you suffer from one of these conditions, and you have realistic expectations regarding the results of the procedure, ask your doctor if you are a good candidate for it.  Women’s Clinic of Lincoln also conducts clinical research studies for menopausal symptoms.  If you would like to explore other options besides laser therapy contact our clinical research department at 402-441-0025.
