Most women know
menopause is the conclusion
of menstruation and
includes side effects such
as hot flashes and changes
in mood. What isn’t being
talked about is that millions
of women also experience
vaginal atrophy
which includes ongoing
vaginal dryness, itching
burning and pain with
intercourse. Mona Lisa
Touch Therapy is a minimally-invasive
treatment
utilized to improve the
health of the inner-lining
of the vagina.
Susan Schreffler, found
herself dealing with this issue.
She had a hysterectomy
and bilateral salpingooophorectomy,
(removal
of the uterus, fallopian
tubes and ovaries) in her
mid-30s. The effects of
the surgery caused her to
go into early menopause.
The average age for menopause
is 51 years old.
According to the American
Academy of Family
Physicians, up to 40 percent
of postmenopausal
women have vaginal atrophy.
With nearly 64
million post-menopausal
patients, many women are
suffering.
“During the free consultation,
Dr. Finkelstein
answered all of my questions
and made me feel
comfortable,” Schreffler
said. “I decided to get my
first treatment at my consultation.
The treatment
itself is pain-free, requires
no downtime, has no side
effects and is done in just
a few minutes in the office.
There are three treatments
done six weeks apart.
“I was amazed by the results.
After my first treatment,
I felt relief. I am
no longer suffering from
vaginal atrophy.”
“These symptoms greatly
impact a women’s quality
of life,” Finkelstein
said. “As someone who
has taken care of women
for over 20 years, I have
watched countless women
live with discomfort and
struggle with intimacy. Finally,
we have a solution.”
Women’s Healthcare
of Illinois understands
health issues are personal.

and nurse practitioners

relationship that will
last a lifetime. They foster
open communication
and will do all they can
