Is Vaginal Atrophy Affecting Your Sexual Wellness? Try the O-Shot®
Up to 85% of women experience vaginal atrophy after menopause. It’s an extremely common issue that causes discomfort, pain during intercourse, and decreased overall sexual wellness.
Fortunately, you have treatment options. Daniel Moghadam, MD, and our team at Modern Aesthetica offer the O-Shot®, an innovative platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment to restore vaginal health and enhance sexual wellness.
Could vaginal atrophy compromise your sexual wellness? Here’s what you need to know about the symptoms and how the O-Shot could help.
The signs and symptoms of vaginal atrophy
Vaginal atrophy is a condition that can develop when estrogen levels drop. It’s a common side effect of menopause but can also happen because of breastfeeding, certain medications, or cancer treatments.
Atrophy is characterized by the thinning, drying, and inflammation of your vaginal walls — and it can significantly impact your quality of life. A few of the most common symptoms are:
- Vaginal dryness
- Itching
- Burning
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse
- Urinary urgency
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Decline in sexual satisfaction
Along with discomfort, these symptoms can lead to emotional distress and strained intimate relationships.
How the O-Shot works for vaginal rejuvenation
The O-Shot (or orgasm shot) is a revolutionary treatment designed for women’s sexual wellness. It’s a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy that stimulates tissue healing to reduce the symptoms of vaginal atrophy.
PRP is a concentrated solution derived from your own blood, and it contains a high concentration of growth factors and other regenerative components. The growth factors stimulate new blood vessel growth of new blood vessels and tissue regeneration.
Treatment promotes collagen production and improves both the health and vitality of your vaginal tissues. The results? Increased lubrication, improved elasticity, enhanced sensitivity, and less pain during intercourse.
What to expect from O-Shot treatment
Dr. Moghadam and our team offer confidential sexual wellness consultations. We review your health history and symptoms to develop a treatment plan for your unique needs.
If you have symptoms of vaginal atrophy, the O-Shot could be a good option for you. The procedure begins with a simple blood draw, and we extract the PRP with a centrifuge.
Once your PRP is ready, we apply a local anesthetic and make a series of small injections in specific areas of your vagina, including the clitoris and the upper vaginal wall. The growth factors start working immediately, and results develop in the following weeks.
The O-Shot is a minimally invasive procedure that typically takes less than an hour in the office. Because it uses your own blood, the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects is low.
As vaginal tissues regenerate, you can expect to notice improved sexual wellness. Benefits may include increased sexual desire and arousal, enhanced orgasms, decreased pain during intercourse, and improved vaginal lubrication.
It’s important to note that individual results may vary, and it’s crucial to consult with a qualified health care professional to determine if the O-Shot is the right treatment option for you.
