Intimate & Pelvic Health
Intimacy Health
Comfort, confidence and intimacy at every age, including the O-Shot and MonaLisa Touch® where they are the right fit.
What is it?
Changes in intimacy are among the most common concerns women have in midlife, and among the least often raised. Lower estrogen, childbirth, some medications and certain cancer treatments can all affect vaginal tissue, comfort and desire.
Intimacy health is a normal part of women’s healthcare. There is nothing embarrassing about it, and there are more options than many women realize.
The O-Shot
The O-Shot uses platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of your own blood, placed in targeted areas of the vaginal and clitoral tissue. Women explore it hoping to improve sensitivity, arousal and natural lubrication. It is performed in the office with little downtime.
MonaLisa Touch®
MonaLisa Touch® is a hormone-free laser treatment for the vaginal tissue changes that can follow menopause, a hysterectomy or breast cancer treatment. It is typically given as a short series of in-office sessions.
What symptoms or concerns might bring you to us?
Vaginal dryness or irritation
Pain or discomfort with intercourse
Reduced desire or arousal
Changes in sensation
Loss of confidence or closeness in your relationship
How Plaza approaches it
We start with a private conversation and an examination, because the right treatment depends on the cause. Hormonal changes, pelvic floor issues, skin conditions and medications can all produce similar symptoms.
From there we walk through each option: what it is designed to do, what the evidence shows and what it involves, so you can decide what feels right for you.
