 I don't know where you had the procedure performed, who performed it and if you had a complete evaluation prior to the Femilift being performed.  Your symptoms are not normal side effects  of having the Femilift procedure, but could be that you had some sort of infection prior to having the Femilift procedure done.  In our office,  every woman is evaluated by us, board certified physicians, a complete evaluation is done to ensure that a woman does not have an abnormal PAP or active vaginal infection prior to the procedure and that the correct settings are used.   I would recommend that you follow up with your physical, even if they are not the one who preformed the procedure.

Post menopausal women often have vaginal dryness, atrophy, recurrent UTI's and yeast infections.  These are due to changes in the vaginal health from a lack of hormones.  The Femilift fractionated CO2 laser improves the overall health of the vagina by improving moisture, laxity, rejuvenating the vaginal mucosa and improving the PH balance.  This often results in a decrease in UTI's and yeast infections. You sound like a great candidate for the Femilift.   

The Femilift is a great choice for vaginal rejuvenation as it is effective, quick, virtually painless and the only restriction post procedure is nothing in the vagina for 3 days, i.e. tampons, douching, intercourse.  You can do all your other normal activities.

Yes the O Shot can help with symptoms of urinary incontinence, both stress and urge.  When PRP is injected into the anterior vaginal wall it stimulates collagen and helps women have a decrease in urine leakage with coughing, sneezing, running jumping as well enhancing the ability to hold their urine with urge symptoms.  We often recommend combining it with a laser treatment, such as the Femilft for added benefit.

The G-Shot is a trademarked procedure by which a hyaluronic acid filler is injected into the area of the G-Spot to enhance orgasms in women who have vaginal orgasms with intercourse.  The results from this last around 4 months.

The O-Shot is a trademarked procedure which uses PRP (platelet rich plasma).  PRP is derived from a patients own blood.  It contains growth factors which help stimulate collagen and regenerate the tissue.  The PRP is injected around the clitoris and anterior vaginal wall, in the area around the bladder neck.  It can improve clitoral orgasms as well as help with incontinence in some patients.  In our office, we often combine the O-Shot with the Femilift laser for women with incontinence.  The Femilift is a CO2 laser which uses micro injury and heat to stimulated collagen, regenerate the vaginal mucosa, tighten the tissues and improve lubrication. We have seen great improvement in incontinence symptoms as well as improved sexual satisfaction with this combination. Our patients will start to see improvement almost immediately and the results last for 12-18 months.
