Women experience a range of symptoms related to life stages, like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. We are also very comfortable talking about most of them too: emotional changes, hot flashes, and changes in our weight cause us to seek professional medical advice, and to lean on our friends for sympathy and support.
Unfortunately, women remain hesitant to discuss vaginal dryness openly. In fact, many women, regardless of age, suffer from vaginal dryness, but a significant number (90%) don’t seek help, leading to more pain and discomfort.
At Regain Functional Medicine + Aesthetics, we are comfortable initiating the conversation and inviting you to join in. When you speak openly with our team, we can help you find the best vaginal dryness treatment in Leawood. It all starts with a consultation to determine the cause of this common problem.
Consultation: Determining the Cause & Treatment Options
Think about which option is more uncomfortable: talking about vaginal dryness or experiencing it. We think it’s the ladder. During your consultation, we discuss your medical history and symptoms and determine the cause of your vaginal dryness, which could happen due to the following factors:
- Aging
- Hormonal imbalance
- Birth control pills
- Breastfeeding
- Using scented perfumes or soaps on your vagina
- Not being sexually aroused
Usually, declining estrogen levels cause your vaginal walls to become thinner and more dry. If that’s the case, we can talk about hormone optimization options like bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
O-Shot
For orgasmic dysfunction and urinary stress incontinence, we may also recommend the O-Shot, which uses your own blood for vaginal rejuvenation. This involves taking a sample of blood from your arm, and spinning it in a centrifuge to create platelet-rich plasma. This plasma contains growth factors that repair vaginal tissue when injected into the clitoral area and vaginal walls.
The O-Shot delivers growth factors contained within the PRP to the tissues where it is injected. It improves the overall health of the vaginal and clitoral tissues by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation and improving tissue strength. After just 1 shot, you can experience increased pleasure and vaginal lubrication and decreased urinary leakage. Results last from 6 to 12 months, and this treatment requires no downtime.
FormaV
FormaV improves vaginal dryness using radiofrequency energy, which stimulates collagen production and improves vaginal tightness for increased sensation and pleasure during sex. This noninvasive treatment requires only 3 sessions, each lasting 30 minutes, spaced out over the course of 3 to 4 months. You’ll notice improvements in urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, sexual dysfunction, and vaginal laxity over the course of your treatment.
