Post Breast Cancer: How Can I Safely Restore Vaginal Health?

As an OB-GYN, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping women reclaim their health and confidence, especially after something as life-altering as breast cancer. Many survivors find that their journey doesn’t end with remission. The side effects of treatment—such as chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone therapies—can have a lasting impact on vaginal health. This is where the MonaLisa Touch comes in, a treatment that’s especially beneficial for post-breast cancer treatment survivors.

The MonaLisa Touch is a non-hormonal laser treatment that rejuvenates vaginal tissue by stimulating collagen production. For breast cancer survivors, this is particularly helpful because many face challenges such as vaginal dryness, discomfort, and painful intercourse due to cancer therapies. Since hormone-based treatments aren’t an option for most survivors, the MonaLisa Touch offers a safe, effective alternative for relief.

The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. Most sessions take only a few minutes, with many women reporting little to no discomfort. Best of all, there’s minimal downtime, allowing you to get back to your regular activities right away. After a series of treatments, many patients report significant improvements—less dryness, more comfort, and an overall enhanced sense of well-being.

Surviving breast cancer shouldn’t mean having to live with the uncomfortable side effects of treatment. The MonaLisa Touch provides a solution that’s both safe and effective, helping women regain control over their bodies and their health. It’s about more than just physical comfort—it’s about feeling like yourself again after overcoming so much. 

If you’re a breast cancer survivor struggling with vaginal dryness, discomfort, or related symptoms, I want you to know that you don’t have to endure these challenges. The MonaLisa Touch is a non-hormonal, safe option that can help restore your comfort and improve your quality of life. Reach out to my Santa Barbara office today to schedule a consultation. Together, we’ll determine if the MonaLisa Touch is the right treatment for you, and I’ll be with you every step of the way on your journey to feeling your best.

New Year, New You: Setting Health Goals for 2025
