Getting Between the Sheets as the Body Ages
A healthy sex life is important for couples of all ages, including those over the age of 50, 60 and 70 years. Sexual intercourse is a powerful emotional experience that helps reconnect partners, as well as an important activity for overall health. Unfortunately, sexual activity and aging are associated with numerous problems in many couples. In women, the vagina goes through a number of changes after menopause, leading to vaginal dryness, burning and itching, as well as painful symptoms during and after intercourse. Countless men often lose sexual desire because they are worried they are going to cause additional discomfort to their partner if they engage in sex. There is now a treatment option for sexual changes in women living in the Dallas, Plano and Frisco, Texas area. Mona Lisa Partners offers a safe and effective vaginal rejuvenation system known as MonaLisa Touch™.
Sexual Activity and Aging
Sexual activity and aging does not mean partners no longer get between the sheets and enjoy a healthy sex life. The desire for intercourse and sexual pleasure is still present in many individuals well into their senior years. Many mature couples believe intercourse becomes a more intimate and sensual experience compared to their younger years.
Numerous changes occur within the body as it ages that may slow down a healthy sex life. One of the main changes associated with decreased sexual activity and aging is vaginal atrophy. After menopause, women no longer have estrogen flowing through the body that maintains healthy vaginal tissue. Estrogen is responsible for keeping the walls of the vagina elastic and thick, allowing for pleasurable intercourse. With a decline in estrogen, the vaginal walls become drier and thinner, leading to vaginal dryness, itching, burning, painful intercourse and light bleeding or spotting after intercourse.
Even though these changes affect women, many men lose the desire to have sex in fear of causing additional discomfort to their partner. With both partners reluctant, a healthy sex life may become unachievable without professional medical guidance.
How MonaLisa Touch™ can Help Treat Sexual Changes in Women
The MonaLisa Touch vaginal rejuvenation system can help return a healthy sex life by revitalizing vaginal health. MonaLisa Touch utilizes a laser system that delivers controlled CO2 energy to the vaginal tissue. The energy revitalizes the vaginal tissue cells and jump-starts collagen production. The additional collagen helps alleviate the painful symptoms of vaginal atrophy, helping treat many troublesome sexual changes in women.
Women living in the Dallas, Plano and Frisco, Texas communities suffering from painful changes in vaginal health are encouraged to contact Mona Lisa Partners. Our physicians offer MonaLisa Touch™ in order to address sexual activity and aging and to help return a healthy sex life following sexual changes in women.
