Re courage nothing obviously compared to many many other procedures, but yes I do get stressed as ultimately you are having your vagina/ vestibule/ perinium lazered which is just not normal. Success rates about 90% , I have lots wrong vaginally so I don't expect a cure but improvement would be great, it was first developed for ladies with VA after chemo and VA , but is also having a lot of success with certain skin conditions of the vulva area also. This is not a designer vagina that the press talk about , that is different and painless , this medical and not painless.
Ok between treatments , it's strengthening the skin , rejuvenation all to do with collegian .
LJP yes I am afraid some ladies need the lot and more , hence me needing more so this procedure is my last hope.
Ancient runner , yes smell smoke , its normal as the skin is so thinned , but this time because it was in better condition from the first time this didn't happen , not that I could see or smell anyway . 🤢
Annie0710 re histamine , if you are/ we're allergic to lots of things then that is a problem with histamine and how our skin reacts to things , our vulva area is so sensitive and with the lack of oestrogen it's our Achilles heal , along with loss of oestrogen,allergies very often get worse as we age , quite a few specialists prescribe antihistamines along side the oestrogen treatment , problem is antihistamine and other drugs are also drying to the mucosal membranes , so becomes a bit chicken and egg.
The deep layers of the vulva area set up a histamine response , which is why some foods irritate that area , when VA can't be controlled it comes under the umbrella of vulvodynia, which is basically pain in the vulva area , vulvodynia is quite common unfortunately, and is hard to treat for many.
But whatever the cause pain The the vulva/ Vaginal area is the pits , and I like many many sufferers am sick of it.
Lots of ladies end up on drugs like amitriptyline along with a non drowsy antihistamine plus local oestrogen, amitriptyline for trying to shut off the nerve pathways/ antihistamine for the histamine/ skin irritation and oestrogen for obvious reasons .
