Nu-V Laser Vaginal Atrophy

Vaginal atrophy, also known as atrophic vaginitis, refers to the thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls, usually caused by a reduction in estrogen levels. This condition most commonly affects women during menopause but can also occur postpartum or after certain medical treatments. It can lead to discomfort, urinary symptoms, and reduced sexual satisfaction, significantly impacting a woman’s quality of life.

HOW?

How Nu-V CO2  Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment work?

NuV Laser Treatment utilizes focused laser energy to gently heat vaginal tissues, triggering a natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin fibers, leading to improved tissue strength and elasticity. The result is restored vaginal health, increased natural lubrication, and reduced discomfort—all achieved through quick, painless sessions with no downtime.

Why?

Why Choose Nu-V  Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment Over Traditional Methods?

Traditional treatments for vaginal atrophy often involve hormonal therapies or invasive surgical procedures. However, these methods may not be suitable for everyone and can come with unwanted side effects or extended recovery times. The NuV Laser Treatment offers a non-surgical, hormone-free alternative that provides effective relief with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Who?

Who is at risk for getting Laser Vaginal Atrophy 

Vaginal atrophy, also known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), primarily affects women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) during menopause due to decreased estrogen levels. Other factors that can lower estrogen and increase the risk include chemotherapy, radiation, antiestrogen medications (like tamoxifen), removal of the ovaries, some birth control pills, immune disorders, breastfeeding, and smoking. Additionally, people who engage in penetrative sexual activity less frequently may experience more severe symptoms, as sexual activity increases blood flow and helps maintain vaginal elasticity.

What else?

Diagnosis of Nu-V  Laser Vaginal Atrophy

At The Women’s Health Clinic, diagnosing vaginal atrophy is a straightforward process that begins with a thorough clinical examination by one of our experienced practitioners. During this examination, we assess your symptoms, evaluate the condition of your vaginal tissues, and consider any contributing factors such as hormonal changes or medical history. If vaginal atrophy is detected, our practitioner will take the time to discuss your diagnosis in detail and present a range of personalized treatment options tailored to your specific needs. From non-surgical laser therapies like the NuV® Laser Treatment to lifestyle changes and other medical interventions, we’ll work with you to find the most effective solution to restore your comfort and well-being. Our goal is to provide compassionate, expert care that empowers you to make informed decisions about your health.

Symptoms those are treated by Laser Vaginal Atrophy Treatment

Vaginal Dryness

This occurs when the natural lubrication in the vaginal tissues decreases, leading to feelings of discomfort, particularly during sexual activity or physical movement.

Itching and Burning

Irritation in the vaginal area can manifest as persistent itching or a burning sensation, which may be uncomfortable during everyday activities or worsen during urination or intimacy.

Painful Intercourse

Many individuals with vaginal atrophy experience discomfort or pain during penetrative sexual activity, making intimacy challenging and potentially reducing sexual satisfaction.

Urinary Symptoms

Vaginal atrophy can also affect the urinary system, causing increased urgency to urinate, frequent urination, or recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) due to the thinning of vaginal and urinary tissues.

Vaginal Discharge

Some may notice an unusual discharge, which is often thin and watery. This discharge can occur alongside other symptoms and may vary in consistency and color.

Bleeding After Intercourse

Light spotting or bleeding after sexual activity is a common symptom of vaginal atrophy, typically caused by the thinning and fragility of the vaginal tissues.

Reduced Elasticity

The loss of collagen and natural elasticity in the vaginal walls leads to a decrease in flexibility, which can cause discomfort and contribute to other symptoms like dryness or pain during intercourse.

Contraindications for  Laser Vaginal Atrophy Treatment

Pregnancy or Recently Postpartum

Women who are currently pregnant or have given birth within the last three months should avoid this procedure.

Active Infections

The treatment should be deferred in cases of active infections, including untreated sexually transmitted diseases like herpes or bacterial vaginosis.

Vaginal or Cervical Lesions

Any unexplained or undiagnosed lesions in the vaginal or cervical area need to be evaluated and addressed before considering the procedure.

Severe Pelvic Organ Prolapse

Women with severe pelvic organ prolapse are not ideal candidates for this treatment.

Blood-Thinning Medications

Patients taking anticoagulants or other medications that may impair healing should consult their provider, as these drugs can increase the risk of complications.

History of Radiation or Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery

Women with a history of radiation to vaginal or rectal tissues or prior pelvic surgery involving mesh are advised against this procedure due to potential risks.

Impaired Wound Healing and Keloid Formation

A history of poor wound healing or keloid formation may increase the risk of scarring, making the procedure unsuitable.

Autoimmune Disorders

Certain autoimmune disorders, which affect the body’s ability to heal properly, may pose a risk for laser treatments. A thorough consultation with a healthcare provider is essential to assess whether the treatment is appropriate and safe for individuals with these conditions.

I am so glad I finally made an appointment and went in to talk with Katy. She was just wonderful all around and I felt at ease with her which isn’t usually my experience with new people. It has left me with hope that I can feel like myself again in the future which I haven’t felt in some time.

Nu-V Laser Vaginal Atrophy Treatment Steps

1

Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment - Free Telephone Consultation

A free obligation free phone consultation allows our team to assess your suitability for the Nu-V CO2 Laser treatment. Your medical history will be discussed, including any previous vaginal concerns (e.g., laxity, dryness, incontinence). A recent smear test is required for eligibility.

2

Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment - Preparation

Forms and Questionnaires:
Prior to your face-to-face consultation, you will need to complete several forms, including full medical history, gynecological history, and sexual health index questionnaires. These must be submitted before your appointment to ensure the practitioner has all necessary details for your assessment.

Medical Considerations:
If you are taking blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin), you must discontinue use 5 days prior to the treatment to minimise bleeding. Avoid sexual activity for 24 hours before the procedure​.

Additional Screening:
Your practitioner will review recent infections or conditions that might contraindicate treatment, such as severe prolapse or untreated STIs​.

3

Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment - Face-to-Face Consultation

Before the Nu-V treatment, the medical practitioner will review the information provided in the forms and notes from your initial consultation with the nurse.

A physical internal examination will be conducted to assess your condition. The practitioner will have an open discussion with you, addressing any questions or concerns you may have. They will provide all necessary information and offer professional advice.

You will be given the choice to take time to consider the treatment. If you decide to proceed, a consent form will be signed before moving forward.

4

Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment - During the Session

Positioning and Comfort:
You will be placed in a comfortable lithotomy position (similar to a smear test). A sterile, single-use probe is inserted into the vaginal canal​.

Laser Application:
The CO2 laser device emits controlled laser energy to the vaginal tissue, stimulating collagen production. This process tightens and rejuvenates the vaginal walls. The laser is rotated 360° to ensure even tissue coverage, and the procedure typically takes about 10-15 minutes​.

Minimal Discomfort:
The treatment is generally painless, although mild discomfort may be felt.

5

Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment - Aftercare

Immediate Aftercare:
After treatment, patients can return to normal activities but should avoid sexual intercourse and strenuous exercise for 7 days. It’s important to keep the treated area clean, avoiding soaps and scented products for at least 2 hours.

Expected Side Effects:
Mild soreness, spotting, or a dull ache in the vaginal area may occur but should subside within a few days. Any persistent or unusual symptoms (e.g., foul-smelling discharge) should be reported​ to the GP immediately.

6

Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment - Results and Maintenance

Progressive Improvement:
Results begin to show within the first few weeks, with full benefits typically seen after 3 months. The treatment helps improve vaginal tightness, lubrication, and urinary incontinence. Many patients also report enhanced sexual satisfaction​.

Maintenance Treatments:
For optimal results, a series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended. Maintenance sessions may be required every 1-2 years to sustain the results​

7

Laser Vaginal Atrophy  Treatment - Long-Term Care and Follow-Up

Post-Treatment Monitoring:
You will be required to complete follow-up questionnaires to track progress at various intervals. This helps tailor ongoing care and treatment plans. If symptoms persist or worsen, a follow-up consultation with a gynecologist may be arranged​.

Lifestyle Adjustments:
Routine pelvic floor exercises may enhance the effects of the treatment. These exercises can become easier and more effective post-procedure​.
