60 year old post breast cancer unable to use estrogen creams. Have vaginal atrophy and constant urinary tract infections (UTIs). My husband and I love each other and our inability to be intimate is affecting our personal happiness and quality of life. I have had different views from different Gyno's regarding the Mona Lisa procedure so my expectations are, at best, hopeful.

Dr Etherington is expert at performing this procedure. He is kind, understanding, informative and always examines prior to agreeing to perform the procedure to ensure the lady is a candidate. At the initial consultation he described the procedure in detail, explaining the science and how it works.

First Procedure - Mona Lisa Touch

Chilicat
During my first appointment with Professor Etherington (Rockhampton Aust) he took me through the science behind the Mona Lisa Touch. He examined me to ensure I would be a suitable candidate and I was. Five weeks ago I had my first treatment. I was terrified because even though I was told it would not hurt I was still venturing into the unknown. I had a nurse by my side during the procedure. It was, as described, painless and took only 5 minutes. I had a little bit of pink discharge afterwards but that its. Still terrified I kept away from "down there" for 4 weeks. Then I explored a little and found it was lubricating itself, it seemed plump. I have not had a urinary tract infection (constantly on antibiotics since chemo and anti estrogen drugs) and I do not have stress incontinence anymore. The next test was to take it for a "test drive". I won't go into detail but for the first time in years I was able to make love to my husband without all the lotions and potions from the chemist and it did not hurt at all. It was not an all night session, rather very quick but told me what I needed to know. This really works - bring on the 2nd procedure.

2nd Procedure - Mona Lisa Touch

Chilicat
Yesterday, 19 April 2016, 5 weeks after my first procedure I had my second Mona Lisa Touch. This time I was not frightened as I knew exactly what to expect. As expected, the second was more intense than the first but again absolutely no pain. Another pleasant surprise was he was able to insert the probe higher into the vaginal cavity than on the first treatment. I assume because the procedure can treat prolapse. I had more discharge and a little swelling of the labia but again absolutely no pain or discomfort and both disappeared within 12 hours. I am so happy with this procedure. More women need to know about this! Can't wait for the 3rd....
