Alongside progesterone, estrogen kick-starts physical changes during puberty, controls the menstrual cycle, maintains pregnancy, keeps healthy skin, and strengthens bones. There is no ‘perfect’ level of estrogen, and it varies widely – between different women, during different stages of the menstrual cycle, and over the course of a lifetime.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Why Do Estrogen Levels Change?

Female hormones fluctuate through puberty, pregnancy, and menopause to facilitate important changes in the body. Weight gain, certain medications, excessive exercise, extreme dieting, and other lifestyle factors can cause estrogen to rise or drop. Several health and age factors play a role in estrogen production including polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), underactive pituitary gland, diabetes, and more. There are three main types of estrogen, and each one varies in purpose and strength. After menopause, the female body only produces estrone, which is the weakest form. Even with ‘normal’ estrogen levels, many peri-menopausal and post-menopausal women struggle to maintain normalcy. Vaginal dryness, mood swings, diminished sex drive, and hot flashes can range from mild symptoms to severe discomfort.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_column_text] [caption id="attachment_19238" align="alignleft" width="400"]estrogen effects and HRT Both young and menopausal women can be affected by hormone imbalance[/caption] [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Managing Symptoms - Replace or Repair?

Hormone Replacement

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) became a popular treatment for menopausal symptoms in the late 1990s and 2000s. This therapy was designed to elevate estrogen levels after ovarian aging. With an added dose of systemic estrogen, many women are able to reverse or avoid the most severe menopausal symptoms. However, there are risks. Clinical trials and follow-up studies have found that HRT increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and cancer - especially when therapy is started after the age of 60. Cancer survivors cannot use HRT because it speeds up the growth of cancer cells. For many women, potential risks outweigh the benefits.

Homeopathic Remedies

There are also a variety of homeopathic herbal supplements that supposedly enhance estrogen levels and symptoms. Soybeans, flax seeds, and sesame seeds are natural sources of phytoestrogens, which may mimic estrogen-like benefits. Emerging research is also considering how DHEA, boron, vitamin B, and vitamin D impact estrogen metabolism in the body.

Vaginal Repair

It is natural for estrogen levels to decline after menopause and through hormonal transition periods, like after giving birth. According to Harvard Health, 50% of postmenopausal women suffer from vaginal dryness, irritation, and pain during sex. New laser technology makes it possible to target the source of discomfort without modifying or supplementing hormone levels. The FemiLift CO2 laser is an outpatient treatment that penetrates the vaginal walls with thermally induced 360-degree fractional laser beam. Essentially, the laser focuses precise heat to warm your vaginal tissue without excessive pain or damage. A proprietary technology of a fractional laser beam results in controlled combination of micro-ablation and mild temperature increase. This effect instantly increases blood flow in the vaginal walls and boosts collagen production to facilitate natural repair. In clinical studies, 80% of women treated with the FemiLift laser reported a more comfortable sexual response with natural lubrication. On op of that they have also experienced improved control of urination! Unlike HRT, FemiLift does not alter the delicate balance of female hormones. This painless laser therapy increases comfort and confidence through life’s natural ups and downs with estrogen.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation="" row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern"][vc_column][vc_column_text]female hormone level chart [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

5 Exercises to Help Alleviate Menopause Symptoms 28 Aug

The process begins when women in their early 40’s start getting irregular periods, vaginal dryness, and mood swings. The signs usually last from eight to ten years before the blood completely stops flowing. A woman is officially diagnosed with menopause if she has not had her period for an entire year. It is in these 12 consecutive months that women can struggle with the menopause symptoms.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]The list of menopause symptoms is long. It includes emotional instability, insomnia, weight gain, and vaginal discomfort. For some, the pain is mild and quick; but for others, it can be a stretched out nightmare. Plus, it's a lot more common than you think. In fact, studies show that nearly 60% of American women suffer more than one symptom brought about by menopause, with one out of four seeking professional help because of the overbearing pain.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]Fortunately, there are ways to alleviate these symptoms — one of which is through exercise. Besides the endorphin rush, it's a good way to keep fit and active. That said, here are five exercises to help you reduce the pain, and improve your quality of life.

Relieving pain and menopause symptoms

Weights

One of the physical symptoms caused by menopause is weight gain, which can lead to the drastic loss of estrogen hormones and muscle density. This in turn can cause diseases such as type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. Very Well Fit recommends lifting weights twice a week as an effective way to control your metabolism and lose weight. A good tip is to focus on compound movements as they hit every part of the body.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Aerobics

Aerobic activities like jogging help maintain a healthy weight, reduce pain, and can greatly improve your overall mood. In fact, research by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences found that those who did aerobics for six months during menopause were less likely to experience sleep deprivation and mood swings than women who did not exercise at all. As aerobics requires a lot of movement, be sure to prioritize comfort by wearing the proper attire. Pretty Me recommends going for fabrics that are breathable and sweat-absorbent, like mesh leggings or cycling shorts. For aerobics, generally anything that isn't loose and won't have you constantly adjusting your clothes is a good choice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Stretching

On the other hand, light-intensity exercises like yoga can help reduce muscle stiffness and joint pain. Even just doing a ten-minute stretch before bedtime helps the “fight or flight” part of your nervous system relax. Thus, it also increases parasympathetic activity, which is the part of the nervous system responsible for rest. Of course, it goes without saying that a good night’s sleep can vastly improve your overall psychological well-being. In fact, better sleep can lead to improvement of other menopause symptoms as well.

Dancing

Workouts do not have to be boring nor repetitive. Think of dancing as another type of exercise, but one that is easier on the joints. As such, it can be performed longer than aerobics. Plus, you get to listen to good music while you are at it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]menopause symptoms exercise[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Meditation

Menopause is something every woman goes through and this period of transition can be emotionally taxing. A study published on the Journal of the International Menopause Society discovered that mindful practices such as meditation and deep breathing can help alleviate symptoms like mood swings, constant irritation, and general fatigue. Just 12 to 15 minutes of deep breathing and focus can keep your mind relaxed for the rest of the day.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

7 step guide to help you avoid urine leakage during workouts 29 Jul

Posted at13:53h in Blog, Post-Delivery Rehabilitation, Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), Vaginal Tightening 0 Comments
[vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column width="1/3"][vc_column_text]urine leakage weightlifting[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]Exercising and staying active is important, especially after childbirth, but urinary incontinence can make high-impact activities feel unbearable. It’s hard to celebrate your PR with urine soaking through your shorts! For many women, unreliable bladder control is so embarrassing and uncomfortable that it keeps them on the sidelines. Studies show that stress incontinence (urine leakage during an activity like coughing, sneezing, running, jumping, or lifting) is even more common after childbirth and can last for several years.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]Don’t believe us? Watch this video posted by NJ born cross-fit goddess Kristen Graham (@kgrahamsfb) confiding with her audience she had lost bladder control during open workout. In her own words – “I just peed everywhere!”. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]

Urine leakage is very common after childbirth

Kristen is not alone. Study statistics differ, but between 30-69% of women suffer from urine leakage! It’s a very common problem but because the sensitive subject is rarely discussed, it can seem isolating and irreparable. It’s important to talk to your gynecologist or general physician about what you’re experiencing, and they can work with you to create a treatment plan. Luckily, there are a wide range of strategies and options to help strengthen your muscles while improving pelvic health:[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]

Enhance – Simple Modifications

  • Balanced Hydration. If you drink too much and too quickly, your bladder will be overwhelmed. On the other hand, if you’re under-hydrating, it can cause bladder irritation. Sip small amounts of water throughout the day totaling 60% of your body weight in ounces and try to avoid irritating drinks like alcohol, coffee, tea, citrus, and carbonation.
  • Stay Active. Studies show that maintaining a healthy weight is important for your pelvic health. Schedule 30 minutes of low-impact activities several days a week, like walking, biking, or swimming. Gradual weight loss and improved fitness may help to relieve pressure on your abdomen and bladder.
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]

Adapt – Specific Solutions

  • Kegel Exercises. Strong pelvic floor muscles are the key to reliable bladder control. Simply contract and squeeze your pelvic floor muscles for three seconds, relax for three seconds, and repeat. Specially-designed vaginal kegel weights can add resistance to build up more strength over time.
  • Absorbent Underwear. It can take time to strengthen muscles and master new lifestyle changes. If you can’t entirely prevent urine leakage, you can discreetly deal with it. Absorbent underwear designs have improved dramatically to be thinner and more dignified, so there are now many options that you can wear under exercise clothes like regular underwear.
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]

Treat – Innovative Technology

  • Laser Treatment. The FemiLift CO2 laser is a safe, effective option for mild cases that aren’t improving after kegels. Laser technology is virtually painless and can rejuvenate the vagina to tighten and lift it. By reinforcing weak muscles and promoting cellular repair, you can relieve pressure on your bladder.
  • Medical Insert. There is no approved medication for stress urinary incontinence, but there are two medical inventions. A vaginal pessary can be inserted by a doctor to support the base of your bladder, but it’s most common for women with a prolapsed bladder. Or, you can try a disposable urethral insert during high-intensity sport and exercise to prevent leaks or drips from flowing out.
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="20px"][vc_column_text]

Intervene – Medical Procedures

  • Surgery. If you're condition hasn't improved after trying other treatments, it may be necessary to go under the knife. Surgical options include artificial implants, semi-permanent bulking injections, and lifting and supporting the urethra with sutures or added tissue.
  • Non-surgical treatment. Over 200k woman have already undergone vaginal tightening done by the FemiLift CO2 laser.  In a recent study, nearly 80% of the woman who had this treatment have reported significant improvement with bladder leakage and vaginal laxity. This treatment requires 3-4 sessions every 4-6 weeks followed by a yearly maintenance session.

It’s the most commonly known reproductive organ, but most people still don’t know how it works (and many people aren’t even comfortable saying the word aloud in public).

So, whether you’re on a journey of self-discovery or just love learning new things about the body, we've compiled for you a list of 10 things that you should know about your vagina, and other reproductive parts.

10 interesting facts about the vagina and women's health

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space height="20px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]
  1. It’s Self-Cleaning. The vagina has its own natural bacteria and internal glands that secrete fluid to keep it clean. Therefore, there’s no need for scented soaps or harsh cleaning products. Balanced vaginal health happens naturally.
  2. Pure Discharge. Every vagina has a unique scent, which can vary based on the time of day, activities, and what you eat. Regardless of your vaginal scent, the discharge is not a waste product. Vaginal discharge is made up of three simple things: salt water, mucus, and cells.
  3. The Perfect pH. In the vagina, normal pH levels range around 4, just like a fine wine!
  4. Double the Nerves. Just outside of the vagina lies the clitoris, which used to be a somewhat-secret center for sexual pleasure. 8,000 nerve endings are bundled inside the tip of the clitoris alone, which is more than double men’s sensitivity. [caption id="attachment_18754" align="alignleft" width="850"]clitoris vaginal health The structure of the clitoris [Illustration][/caption]
  5. It’s Elastic. The vagina expands and contracts during sexual arousal with the release of hormones. When you’re finished, the vagina tightens back to its normal position. Just as aging skin can become less elastic over time, some women experience looseness with age after menopause.
  6. Grow an Extra Organ. The placenta, often known as afterbirth, passes oxygen, nutrients, and immunity antibodies to the baby and it grows through the entire pregnancy. This temporary organ is made with help from both mom and dad.
  7. Nothing Gets Lost. Microscopic sperm can swim through the cervical opening at the top of the vagina. But you shouldn't worry as it’s a very small space. Consequently ‘losing’ a tampon or condom inside the vagina is virtually impossible.
  8. Estrogen is the Key for women’s health. 
    You probably know that estrogen is the ‘female hormone,’ but the sheer amount of control that it has in the body might shock you. Estrogen controls more than just puberty, menstrual cycles, and lactation; it also plays a big role in blood clotting, pelvic muscles, skin health, and bladder function. Urinary urgency problems linked to menopause are actually related to a decrease in estrogen.
  9. [caption id="attachment_18746" align="alignleft" width="850"]estrogen and women's health Infographic illustration of the molecule of Estrogen.[/caption] Know Your Angle. The vaginal canal doesn’t go in a straight line. In fact, the average vagina is set at a 130-degree angle, so aim upwards and toward your back.
  10. It Bounces Back. The ability to create, grow, and birth a baby is amazing enough. Even after all of that, the birth canal can heal and revert back to its original size prior to pregnancy  The appearance of the vaginal opening and the closure of the cervix are typically the only things that have a lasting change.

Intimacy can be rediscovered: sex after menopause 04 Feb

[vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]Special holidays, dates, and events are the perfect opportunity to rekindle emotion and boost intimacy at every stage of life. Anniversaries, birthdays, and Valentine’s Day all spark something special, like a scheduled, sexy date to break the status quo. Valentine’s Day causes many women anxiety and embarrassment because it means that uncomfortable or painful sex is on the calendar. Did you know that vaginal dryness affects an estimated 45% of all women who have sex after menopause? Long-term vaginal dryness, also known as vaginal atrophy, is caused by low estrogen levels during hormonal shifts. Post-coital bleeding, pain, and burning or itching are also common complaints of women after child birth, during breast feeding, after ovary removal surgery, and during cancer treatment.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

How can you relieve symptoms such as pain during sex

Although the symptoms rarely go away on their own,  you can alleviate and improve sexual discomfort and vaginal dryness with the right treatment. Gynecologists recommend starting with these short-term, at-home strategies: Lubricate. Sex after childbirth or menopause is dry and uncomfortable because the vagina is not producing enough lubrication, so one option is to supplement. There are many commercial lubricants available, but many naturally-minded women prefer to use ghee or organic coconut oil for a chemical-free sexual experience. Relax. The vagina is an amazing organ that regulates moisture levels based on hormone spikes, including arousal. Talk openly with your partner about what feels best for you and how they can help you increase arousal. Taking the time for dedicated foreplay and relaxing into the moment may help increase moisture levels before the big event. Avoidance. Did you know that many douches, bubble baths, scented soaps, and lotions can aggravate vaginal dryness and heighten burning or itching sensations? Strip down your washing routine with hypoallergenic products for sensitive skin and allow your vagina to self-clean. At-home strategies can help alleviate discomfort and improve sexual satisfaction, but they may not be enough. If your sex life and personal comfort continue to decline or remain stagnant, it’s time to visit your OB/GYN for an exam and treatment advice.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="16px"][vc_row_inner row_type="row" type="full_width" text_align="left" css_animation=""][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] [caption id="attachment_18720" align="alignnone" width="700"]sex after menopause Intimacy should not involve pain[/caption] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height="16px"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

What is the FemiLift treatment by Alma?

FemiLift is a vaginal laser treatment that is recommended by aesthetic gynecology doctors around the world. The outpatient treatment is virtually pain-free and incredibly fast. Thus, women can receive treatment without any negative side-effects or recovery period. The physician targets the fractional CO2 laser at the vaginal walls to create thermal and ablative effects. This procedure heats the vaginal tissue precisely in order to maximize blood flow. This kick-starts collagen production for tissue repair. In clinical studies, FemiLift provided a marked improvement in sexual response for 80% of participating women. Sex after childbirth doesn’t have to be uncomfortable or unpleasant and loss of intimacy isn’t unavoidable with aging. The highly advanced laser treatment by Alma Lasers can yield major symptom improvement with a very quick recovery time. Unlike at-home treatments, FemiLift results are long-lasting with physical, mental, and emotional benefits.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row]

This story was published on all UK's major newspapers including The Sun, Daily Mirror, and Metro. Abby states that she was inspired to get the minimally invasive treatment after watching Danielle Lloyd's interview on the morning show. In that interview, which has generated massive interest among women over 40, Miss Lloyd confessed to having had the treatment specifically for incontinence.   [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text] [caption id="attachment_18646" align="alignnone" width="615"]younger in the bedroom - femilift benefits Abby Short and her husband (photo PA Real Life)[/caption] [/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type="row" type="full_width" text_align="left" css_animation=""][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height="20px"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Surprisingly fast results

Abby sought for the FemiLift vaginal rejuvenation laser treatment following years in which she suffered with unexpected leakage. She underwent 3 FemiLift sessions at Courthouse clinics in London, where they explained to her it might take some time until she noticed results. However, she was surprised to find out there was an immediate change for the good. When vacationing right after the first session she didn't experience any more leakage or urgency to go to the bathroom.

More than a relief of incontinence

Abby was also pleased to learn there were other benefits to the treatment as well. “It’s given me a real confidence boost and makes me feel 15 years younger in the bedroom. I couldn't recommend it enough".[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text] [caption id="attachment_18648" align="alignnone" width="703"]Abby Short claims to feel younger in the bedroom UK major newspapers published Abby's story[/caption] [/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type="row" type="full_width" text_align="left" css_animation=""][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space height="20px"][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type="row" use_row_as_full_screen_section="no" type="full_width" angled_section="no" text_align="left" background_image_as_pattern="without_pattern" css_animation=""][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Breast cancer awareness month- recovering as a whole 14 Oct

Posted at12:54h in Blog 0 Comments
FemiLift is all about improving women's well-being and quality of life. It does so by addressing issues such as stress urinary incontinence and vaginal atrophy. It helps both young women after childbirth and more mature women during and after menopause. But it is not so publicly known it has considerable benefits for female cancer and breast cancer survivors of all ages, too. The Wikipedia definition of “cancer survivors” is very simple. A cancer survivor is a person with cancer of any type who is still living. It was created to describe the broad experience on the cancer continuum — living with, during, and beyond a cancer diagnosis. However, the everyday life of these brave people is not simple at all, especially women. [caption id="attachment_18116" align="alignnone" width="400"]Breast Cancer survivors FemiLift campaign The breast cancer awareness month ribbon[/caption] The most common cancer type diagnosed in women according to surveys 2012-2016 is breast cancer. Many of the women who are afflicted by it deal with the consequence of having to surgically remove one or both of their breasts. Luckily, modern solutions such as fat grafting allow full breast reconstruction. Still, many of these female survivors must endure what's referred to as "collateral damage". This predicament can be quite devastating to their emotional and sexual life. Modern life-saving treatments include Chemo and radiotherapy, as well as hormonal therapies. These treatments, in many cases may cause very severe side effects.

Other than vaginal atrophy, breast cancer therapy side effects may include:

  • Vaginal dryness
  • Vulvar dystrophy
  • Skin Rashes
  • Pain during sex
  • Urine leakage
The women who are still in their fertile years are essentially experiencing menopausal symptoms. Their self-esteem and femininity are in jeopardy, which in some cases can lead to severe unhappiness and even depression. [caption id="attachment_18560" align="alignnone" width="400"]breast cancer survivor female The emotional consequences are substantial[/caption]   Breakthrough CO2 laser technology can help Until recent years, the main therapies available for these issues were hormonal treatments or invasive surgery. In many cases, hormonal treatments cannot be used on women diagnosed with tumor given the high risk of relapse of the illness. Other short-term solutions are using lubricant gels. Luckily, modern laser technology offers new instruments capable of effectively treating these conditions. CO2 laser devices such as the FemiLift are proved to be very effective because they directly stimulate the production of collagen, which restores the elasticity and natural lubrication of the vagina.

The benefits are clinically proven

  Dr. Paolo Scollo, director of gynecology at the Cannizzaro Hospital of Catania, Italy, recently led a study with 35 volunteer oncology patients. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the production of collagen after laser treatment. This study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, has clearly demonstrated that thanks to laser treatment, Epithelium thickness tripled. In addition, a survey was conducted among the patients after 6 and 18 months in order to assess their degree of satisfaction. The satisfaction rate reported was 80%! Moreover, biopsies carried out further confirmed the astounding results of the FemiLift treatment. This study was the starting point of the national campaign ‘FemiLift for the quality of life of oncology patients’ presented March 2017 at the Ministry of Health in Italy. [caption id="attachment_18556" align="alignnone" width="400"]Dr. Paolo Scollo - Breast cancer awareness month Dr. Paolo Scollo - Cannizzaro Hospital of Catania[/caption]   The next steps Are you a breast cancer survivor, oncology patient or a woman suffering from one of the aforementioned symptoms (vaginal atrophy etc.)?
