About Vaginal Atrophy
And Its Impact On Women's Lives


WHAT IS VAGINAL ATROPHY?

Vaginal atrophy, or vaginal ageing, affects around 50 percent of menopausal and post-menopausal women. The walls of the vagina become thinner and the natural elasticity and blood supply is reduced. The protective mucosa of the vagina can lose hydration and thickness causing a loss of lubrication.

PREVALENCE OF VAGINAL ATROPHY

Around half of menopausal and post-menopausal women are affected by vaginal atrophy will experience some or all of the symptoms listed above.

In addition, younger women who have used the Pill for prolonged periods, breast-feeding mothers and women who experienced traumatic delivery and severe perineal repair and scarring may also experience these symptoms.

EXISTING TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VAGINAL ATROPHY

Existing treatments involve making lifestyle changes to improve vulval care and using therapeutic creams such as a non-scented barrier cream or topical Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT - vaginal oestrogen cream) if not contraindicated.

The effectiveness of these current treatments is highly dependent on the willingness of the patient to adhere to treatment protocols. In addition, the effects of existing treatments are short-term in nature and the benefits are no longer felt if the patient discontinues use.

In comparison, the Mona Lisa Touch procedure addresses a number of the issues causing vaginal atrophy, which means the effects of treatment are long lasting and will be felt independent of any actions performed by the patient.
