Mona Lisa Touch

Hi Everyone

I am 16 months in from having a lumpectomy. I am now on Letrozole and it does not have very nice side effects, one being a very dry vagina. Has anyone on here had the Mona Lisa touch done? If so do you think it was worth it and has it worked etc. What sort of cost was it?
I am thinking of getting it done but really keen to hear from someone that has already had it.
Thanks
Ady

  • Hi ladies. Before you try the Mona Lisa touch, I'd recommend this website https://www.yesyesyes.org/products/. Yes make organic vaginal products, and in the UK you can buy them on the NHS. I use the Yes Water Based Vaginal Moisturiser, which has pretty well fixed my vaginal atrophy. There's a lot of information on their website. Postage is free from the UK if you order $50 or more of goods. It's not cheap, but it works, and it's a heck of a lot cheaper than the Mona Lisa touch, which I believe you need to get topped up every so often. The other thing is DHEA pessaries, but I now don't use these because I understand the DHEA converts to estrogen. As other members have suggested, please check out the Lost Libido Ladies group - you'll need to apply for membership - as a number of us have posted a lot of stuff there about MLT and Yes. Best of luck, DaisyMarigold
  • mum2jj, glad to hear a GP talking about it. I go to my Oncologist today so will be interesting to see if he knows about it. I have rung a few places and the prices vary a lot! I don't mind going without other things to have this done if it will work. Yes I have skimmed over the other page where they chat about it.
  • Afraser, I do not need pap smears anymore thank goodness. I cannot take any kind of estrogen due to the kind of cancer I have. I do use Replens at present but they are not that good.
  • Zoffiel, I can cope with the hot flushes. I take my tablets at night and that seems to help. Hope you found out on Google about MLT.
  • My GP was just talking about this the other day.  Apparently his patients having great results... It is expensive though.  @"susie Q" and @DaisyMarigold have both posted about this in the group @melclarity mentioned.  Lots of information there.

  • It's a thorough nuisance for lots of reasons not least as it makes an effective pap smear nigh impossible! I have an option of oestrogen treatment for at least two weeks with no guarantee of success even then or taking comfort from a clear ultrasound and not trying again. Be interested to hear what anyone else has done with a similar problem. 
  • I had no idea what you were talking about. Googling.. OK. I'm curious.

    Vaginal dryness is the least of my problems right now, but I guess if I can move past 'Stay on your side, I'm sweating' I'm going to have to figure something out. At the moment you'd need a pair of leather gloves and an oyster shucker to get anywhere near me.
    Let us know what you find out.
