I am a 67 year old wife and mother of two children, and have been experiencing "leakage," as well as vaginal "ageing" for a while.
It has been a while since I had a Gyn appointment, except for the pap smear. I just assumed the latter problem was something I had to live with. I'd tried estrogen treatments, but none were satisfactory and were withdrawn due to side effects.
I was drawn to the Coyle Institute because of the breadth of service--both Urology and Gynecology--offered. I had no idea that breadth was even wider than what I anticipated. I'd never heard of the diVa Laser before I walked through the door.
So, I made the appointment with Dr, Rogers to address my leakage issue. She took my history, examined me and explained different options in addressing the leakage problem. One of which was the diVa Laser Vaginal Therapy treatment. I literally had no idea such a treatment existed.
Dr. Rogers explained that the laser treatment has been very effective in addressing the leaky bladder problem, but is not a treatment which is covered by insurance and is a bit expensive.
With my husband sitting there, Dr. Rogers also explained that the treatment would offer us a renewed sex life, since the treatment would resurface the vaginal lining and restore both elasticity and lubrication.
He asked the cost. She told him and his response was, "That's not too bad." Dr. Rogers could have tripled the cost and he would have likely said the same thing! He was sold and, truthfully, after the her explanation and the extensive vaginal exam Dr. Rogers performed, I was, too. So, we made the appointment to proceed.
I went today for the first of three laser treatments. Admittedly, I was a bit apprehensive, but Dr. Coyle and his nurse, Lisa, made sure I understood and was comfortable each step in the process. There was/is minor discomfort, but nothing that is a show stopper. A UTI or yeast infection is far more uncomfortable that what I am experiencing. There is some bleeding, but that is to be expected because of the dry and aged condition of the vagina.
I'll post again after treatment #2. Stay tuned.

I am pleased to report that I have had the second and third laser treatments and am very pleased with the outcome. Both vaginal health and the bladder leakage problems have shown marked improvement.
As far as the procedures. There was slightly more discomfort after the second procedure than the first, but still not enough that it should be a deal-breaker for anyone. Again, there is much more discomfort with a UTI or a yeast infection than with the laser treatment. Discomfort after the third procedure was more along the lines of what I felt after the first procedure.
The only complaint I can offer is that I wish I had known of this procedure many years ago. To be able to enjoy one of life's great pleasures (SEX) without estrogen/hormones--and the attendant risks--is GREAT! It's also worth every dollar spent.
I highly recommend Dr. Coyle and his staff!!!
