What is Vaginal Atrophy?
Vaginal atrophy is a very common disorder which affects around half of all women during and after menopause. It can also affects women who have been on hormonal birth control for long periods, have had perineal repair after childbirth, or are breastfeeding. It’s also fairly common in breast cancer patients who are taking anti-oestrogen medications.

Vaginitis occurs when there is low oestrogen production, which results in thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls. This causes the vagina to become less elastic, and reduces the blood supply. Changes also occur in the natural pH balance of the environment, which has negative effects on the vagina’s functions and overall health. Most women also experience a loss of hydrating and thickness in the vagina, which decreases lubrication.

These symptoms are bad enough, but one of the biggest problems with vaginitis is that a lot of women are embarrassed to talk about it. Many women put up with the disruption to their sex life, the urinary incontinence, and the discomfort for years without talking to their doctor about treatments. This can not only have a devastating effect on their sex life and relationships, it also affects their overall quality of life. But it’s time for that to stop.

Common Treatments for Vaginal Atrophy
If you visit your GP for this condition, they will prescribe a number of treatments. You will need to make long-term lifestyle changes that improve the overall health of your vagina and use topical creams. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) creams can be quite helpful with this condition if used properly and they’re commonly prescribed for women with vaginitis.

However, the trouble with these treatments is that they’re ongoing and long term. Basically, you will probably have to keep using the creams for the rest of your life to keep your vagina healthy. And if you stop using the creams, then the symptoms will immediately return. There is also the risk of experiencing side effects from using HRT creams, which are strong medications, over the long term.

Treating vaginitis this way is problematic, which is why some women just decide to ignore their negative symptoms. Additionally, HRT creams aren’t appropriate in some cases, whether because of other conditions or bad reactions. As a result, a lot of cases of vaginal atrophy end up partially treated or not treated at all. And this is where the Touch laser procedure comes in. It’s a quick, and effective way to address the problems you experience without having to commit to a long term treatment plan or strong medications that could affect your health in other ways.

Vaginal Rejuvenation Laser Treatment
The atrophy rejuvenation treatment uses a new laser system that’s specifically designed for the vagina and vaginal wall. It’s a quick treatment that delivers a precise amount of heat to the vaginal walls. This stimulates the regeneration of the vaginal tissue by encouraging tissue regeneration and increased blood flow to the area. The laser also increases collagen production, which is the protein that holds the cells together and makes the tissues both strong and elastic. The end result of the treatment is that cells are encouraged to return to their youthful functionality and firmness.

The Co2 laser used during the treatment also encourages the environment of the vagina to return to normal. This allows the pH levels to lower and increases the natural defences to pathogens, which means fewer infections and better vaginal health all round.

Basically, this treatment addresses all the problems associated and encourages your vagina to return to its youthful state of health.
