Mona Lisa Touch - post 15 months
For me, Mona Lisa Touch improved things as long I continued to use moisturisers every 2nd or 3rd day and used lubricants for intimacy. However, fifteen months post treatment vaginal atrophy and associated problems is back. I was advised at the time of treatments further follow up treatments may be required at 12 month intervals but at $800 a session it is out of my reach. My new plan is: In July I will be 5 years post breast cancer and while the magic 5 year mark is not a guarantee breast cancer won't return, statistics indicate greater chance of survival post that milestone. So, after speaking with a range of doctors I have decided, on the grounds of quality of life, to use estrogen pessaries - as that is the only way to reverse vaginal atrophy that won't break the bank. As a added safeguard I will balance any absorbed estrogen with compounded natural progesterone. I hope my journey helps others and gives them something to talk about with their doctors.
Ten months since MLT treatment began
It took a long time for the MLT to completely work for me. I don't know why it takes longer than for some than others. I also use certified organic vaginal moisturises and lubricants from the UK that have made all the difference. Things are really good now and I do not need estrogen pessaries. I am in a very happy place.
Back to vaginal Atrophy
Unfortunately, while initial indications were good, vaginal atrophy is definitely back. Painful sex once again even using lubrication. I am very upset at this outcome. Urinary Tract Infections have not returned, but I fear only a matter of time. This procedure has not been worth the $2400 I spent or the emotional investment
