A Full Review of Women’s Intimate Wellness

The health of your vagina is just as important as the health of any other organ in your body. Here, we take a closer look at how aging can compromise your intimate wellness and what you can do about it.

You know it’s important to take care of yourself through the years. You may have developed a skin care routine or adopted a regular exercise plan. There’s another part of your body that might need some attention too: your vagina.

After childbirth and as you approach and go through menopause, your intimate wellness often changes. Responding to those changes can help you avoid unwelcome symptoms, including pain.

That’s why Jean Johnson, MD, provides laser vaginal rejuvenation and the O-Shot® here at Rejuvenation For Her in Weston, Florida. With these treatments, she helps you take control of your intimate wellness so you can feel your best through the years.

How intimate wellness affects your life

Your vaginal health plays a significant role in your overall quality of life. Dryness can lead to discomfort throughout the day, for example. And pain during sex will likely lead to a diminished desire for intimacy, which may take a toll on your relationship. In short, your intimate wellness directly affects you.

As they enter menopause, a lot of women experience vaginal atrophy. That means declining estrogen levels make the tissue down there thinner and drier. You might feel itchy, get more urinary tract infections (UTIs), and experience laxity or pain during sex.

Fortunately, you’re not stuck in this situation.

What you can do to boost your vaginal health

If you’ve noticed that time seems to be taking a toll on your intimate wellness, Dr. Johnson can help. Here at Rejuvenation For Her, she offers two treatments designed to improve your vaginal health.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation

With the CO2RE® Intima by Candela®, Dr. Johnson can apply gentle laser energy to your vaginal tissue. This stimulates collagen production, improving elasticity. The treatment also encourages circulation, which helps boost lubrication.

Laser vaginal rejuvenation is fast and pain-free. You don’t need to worry about time away from work or other obligations afterward. The only requirement is that you avoid sex for a short period following treatment.

Dr. Johnson usually recommends a series of laser vaginal rejuvenation appointments to help you experience the best results.

The O-Shot®

This treatment uses your own blood to trigger rejuvenation. Dr. Johnson starts the process by taking a small sample of your blood and using a centrifuge to separate out the platelets. This creates platelet-rich plasma (PRP). When injected into your vaginal tissue, the PRP delivers growth factors to stimulate healing and regeneration in the area.

Intimate wellness is a major part of any woman’s overall health and deserves to be taken seriously. If you want to talk about your options, schedule an appointment with Dr. Johnson today. Call our office or book your appointment online.
