Most popular GYN procedure

What do women in our area want the most?  What procedures do I do the most?

The answer is…. Procedures that help the bladder function, vaginal dryness, and sexual function.

MonaLisa Touch and Emsella are the most common GYN procedures done in my office, with the O Shot not far behind.  MonaLisa Touch is laser treatment of the vagina and labia, which is very comprehensive at treating vaginal dryness, urinary urgency and frequency, urinating at night, urine leaking, and vaginal support for sexual function.  It is 3 short treatments 6 weeks apart.  Emsella is electromagnetic therapy to strengthen the pelvic floor that can decrease urine leaking, improve pelvic floor strength, urine urgency and frequency, and vaginal support for sexual function.   It is 6 treatments lasting 28 minutes, twice a week, for 3 weeks.  The O shot uses PRP from your own blood draw to inject into the vaginal area and the clitoris, to decrease urinary incontinence and urgency, and improve sexual function.  

This means that women in our area are looking for conservative, non-hormonal treatments for vaginal, sexual, and bladder function, to avoid some of those adverse changes we experience with going through menopause and aging.  These treatments last for roughly a year, and women are returning for touchup treatments to keep proper pelvic function.  These treatments are painless and require very little to no recovery.  There are very few contraindications, and of course I screen for these before we do the treatment, and I screen to make sure that the treatment best fits the woman’s symptoms.

Men can also undergo Emsella for pelvic floor strengthening, and also a version of the O shot that injects PRP with growth factors into the genital area.
