Vaginal Dryness
Which Treatment Should Be Applied in Vaginal Dryness and Who Should be Treated?
- Vaginal dryness can be seen in women at any age. It can cause severe discomfort and pain, especially during sexual activity. It may even lead to avoidance of intercourse. This reduces the quality of life of individuals and may cause loss of self-confidence in couples.
- After menopause, estrogen levels decrease with advancing age. This condition can cause uncomfortable vaginal symptoms in many women later in life, such as vaginal dryness, atrophy, vaginal burning and irritation. Problems such as discomfort or pain during sexual intimacy, dysuria and recurrent urinary tract infections may accompany this condition.
- Vaginal dryness can be treated with different methods depending on the person's age and existing symptoms. In this regard, PRP, some gels, hormones and laser treatments are applied.
- Recently, laser vaginal rejuvenation has come to the fore as an alternative to local estrogen hormone therapy for the relief of vaginal dryness and related symptoms. The VeLVET research in this area has compared estrogen and laser in treatment and revealed that both treatments have similar efficacy. Laser treatment methods have become increasingly common in recent years in terms of minimal side-effect potential and ease of application.
- Vaginal stem cell renewal ( PRP ) treatment is one of the methods used in treatment both at a younger age and after menopause.
- Treatment possibilities should be reviewed in detail for each patient, and individual treatment plans should be developed. All treatment methods, including Laser and PRP, can be applied in our clinic.
