Bio-Identical Hormones: Almost all people over age 40, and in many cases over 30, begin to experience hormone imbalance. Exposure to environmental and dietary toxins contribute to the natural decline of hormones as people age. Balancing hormone levels is the secret to maintaining a youthful appearance as you age, losing weight, sleeping well, and being more energetic. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) generally improves the quality of life of those taking it. HRT is a treatment for some women whose estrogen and testosterone (yes, women have it too!) levels have significantly dropped due to menopause. It may also refer to the decline of testosterone in men, known as andropause.
Synthetic HRT has been on the decline in the last decade because of increased health concerns. Traditionally, HRT has been prescribed by primary care providers, endocrinologists, or gynecologists. In order to serve male and female patients who would be better off with hormone replacement therapy, Fox Valley Plastic Surgery offers bio-identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).
BHRT will not only restore hormone imbalance but will also naturally alleviate symptoms of aging. It can also increase the risk of breast cancer among post-menopausal women. Because of this, patients should make their primary care providers aware if they elect to receive bio-identical hormones. For some people, the slightly increased risk of breast cancer is offset by the greater quality of life while on BHRT. FVPS requires all patients to have a regular primary care doctor, and all female patients to be current on mammograms, pap smears, and bone density screening tests.
Orgasm Shot: All natural, painless and non-surgical, the Orgasm Shot is for women seeking to reclaim their sexual health and wellness. The Orgasm Shot procedure uses platelet rich plasma from the patient’s own blood to stimulate tissue rejuvenation to enhance function in the areas of sexual response and urinary incontinence within the vagina.
Vaginismus: Vaginismus is a condition where there is involuntary tightness of the vagina. This can occur during attempted sexual intercourse, insertion of tampons, or penetration involved in gynecological examinations. The tightness is caused by involuntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles surrounding the vagina. The woman does not directly control or ‘will’ the tightness to occur; it is an involuntary pelvic response. The sexual pain, tightness and penetration difficulties from vaginismus are fully treatable, and can be completely overcome with no remaining pain or discomfort.
The size, color, and shape of labia vary significantly, and may change as a result of childbirth, aging and other events. For women who are not satisfied with the appearance of their labia, a labiaplasty can help. This is a popular procedure in our office, and patients from the Fox Valley and beyond come here to get this procedure done. Learn more about labiaplasty.
Lichen sclerosus (LS) is a benign but chronic skin condition commonly found on the genitals and characterized by white patches that usually causes itching, burning or pain. In woman, LS can lead to thinning and shrinkage of the genital area that can make intercourse, urination, and defecation painful. Previous treatment options were limited to steroids. Recent studies have shown that a new treatment involving PRP may be an effective therapy in the management of LS. Learn more about this new LS treatment here.
Most women experience increased looseness of their labia and vaginal muscles after childbirth or as a natural byproduct of aging. While not uncommon, this laxity can diminish sensation during intercourse, reduce sexual satisfaction, and cause embarrassing urinary incontinence. The goal of ThermiVa™ treatments is to help women reclaim their body and restore satisfaction.
