Recently I conducted a small gathering of friends and and clients to discuss the issue of Genito Urinary Symptoms of Menopause. OR GSM for short. This is a common condition as every menopause and perimenopasue woman would have at least one symptom. Statiscally it affects 80% of all menopause women and like it or not our lifestyle as well as relationship with our partners.
So what is GSM?
Short for Genito Urinary Symptoms of Menopause , this a combination of symptoms that occur in and around the genital and urinary complex of a woman when she approaches menopause or after menopause has occured.
What are the symptoms?
1. Vaginal Relaxation Syndrom
2. Vulvo Vaginal Laxity
3. Vaginal & Vulavalar Dryness
4.Vaginal Atrophy causing pain during intercourse
5. Vulvalar itchiness & pain
6. Light Urinary Leaks or Bladder Leaks
7. Pelvic Organ Prolapse - Bladder, Uterus or Rectum
8. Reduced sexual sensitivity causing dissatisfying intercourse, poor or no orgasm and discomfort.
Many of these condition is also due to the drop in the sex hormones namely Eostrogen , Progesterone, Testosteroen and DHEA.
Therefore the hormnes need to be tackled. I dothis by taking a blood test for the affected clients and upon reviewing them 2 weesk alter , formulate a Hormone supplementation plan for them using compounding Bioidentical hormones . These are the best, as they are non synthetic, usually plant based but more importantly are similar or identical to our very own hormones in oour body.
To takcle the genito urinary symptoms, I advocate doing Kegel exercises on a daily basis . In fact you should do it all the time 20min each time, when you are driving , watching TV, in the car, at the desk, etc. This will strenghten the pelvic muslces which will them keep sll the organs and structures there intact.
For those who are not too bad ( and that's the majority of us) there are several new technological advances available in the market now. These devices are heat generating to create and stimulate new collagen in the vaginal wall lining so that the vagina walls mucosa become rejuvenated and more resilient.
There's the
1. Mona Lisa Dot 2 laser rejuvenation
2.VIveve using RF technology
3. Termi VF
4.Eva which uses RF combined with IR
5. Fotona laser Intimalse and Incontilase
A series of 3-5 sessions is required for best results except for Vivevve which only need a 1 time session to give effect that can last over 1 year.
Women do not have to suffer anymore after menopause, like our mothers and grandmothers had. These non invasive procedures are so easy to conduct with no downtime at all. I was the first to try it out as I was starting to have some early symptoms myself. I am now motivated to inform all you women out there that's suffering, that help is available.
