Let's have another conversation about vaginas

Zoffiel, you might recall I mentioned orgasm as beneficial in my previous post on this subject. What I haven't mentioned yet is the atrophy causes the shrinking of your clitoris (IKR! It just keeps getting better and better!). I was shocked when I saw mine on the big screen, or rather, didn't see it because it's now retreated. So yes, orgasm will definitely help but it's going to get harder to have one if clitoral stimulation is your preference, and of course, we all know penetration has become an issue! I'm also a confirmed skeptic and I shared your concern about over-selling, which is why I've double checked everything against the actual research. I suspect prolapse is also on the do-not-discuss list for a lot of women. The one woman I know that experienced it is now very annoyed that laser treatment wasn't discussed with her and is now making her own enquiries about it. I suppose the only way of knowing if prolapse is going to be an issue for me is to wait and see if that happens. Personally I'd rather act to reduce any risk of it. My friend's description was enough!

Mum2jj and Deanne, YES it is now claimable on medicare but you only get about $70 back for each visit. My first consult with the doctor cost $200 and I got a $72.75 rebate. I'll report exact costs on the treatments as I have them, but I've certainly been quoted a lot less than you paid, Deanne! 

Also in relation to how long the results last, I've been told that this varies and that most women need one or two 'top ups' each year to maintain the results. 

Deanne, I plan on contacting my private health insurer about this too, as I think it should be covered, but it seems just about everything I've had done wasn't so I don't hold out much hope. I agree with you that it should definitely be provided as part of our recovery.
