I am a 41 year old mother of three children, and I suffered from vaginal relaxation and stress incontinence for years. I recently underwent laser vaginal rejuvenation by Dr. Lisa Waterman. I am so impressed with the results and the impact having the surgery has had on my life, I feel I must spread this information to women who needlessly endure the problems I had.

I discovered I had mild to moderate stress incontinence several years before coming to Dr. Waterman. The symptoms I had were urine leakage at the slightest cough, sneeze or anytime I tried an exercise like doing jumping jacks. Much worse was the fact that sexual intercourse was not satisfying for me, or for my husband, because my vaginal walls were “relaxed.”

My gynecologist recommended that I see specialist, who was urogynecological physical therapist. The PT did a series of evaluations and agreed that I suffered vaginal relaxation and stress incontinence due to child birth and put me on an exercise regime aimed at “rehabilitating” my pelvic floor. I began with regular Kegel exercises. After about two months with only very slight improvement, we added a resistance device…then vaginal cones.

Over the months and months of exercises (in futility), I began to investigate laser vaginal rejuvenation. I read literature from Dr. David Matlock who pioneered the surgery, and then every unique article that I could find, both pro and con. The pros were raving reviews from women who had experienced marriage changing sexual satisfaction from a 1 hour laser procedure; women who had been restored to a pre pregnancy state. The few nay-sayers all seemed to present some vague, subjective argument that having such a surgery was unnecessary and catered to satisfying men---completely ignoring the fact that women want and need vaginal tightness to enhance our own experience.

Finally I had a consultation with Dr. Waterman. She agreed that laser vaginal rejuvenation would correct my stress incontinence and restore me to a pre-pregnancy state. I took great reassurance in the fact that while use of the laser for this surgery is an innovation, Dr. Waterman is a skilled gynecologist with several years of experience performing the same surgery with a scalpel. Knowing she is an expert in this type of repair put me at ease.

In making my final decision to have the surgery, I had a very frank discussion with my PT. I asked her point-blank whether I could ever achieve pre-pregnancy vaginal tone with Kegels. She told me that vaginal relaxation is not just due to lack of muscle tone, but was a result of irreparable damage to connective tissues that were ruined during child birth. She said those connective tissues cannot be repaired with any amount of pelvic floor exercise.

I made the decision to have the surgery, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Dr. Waterman did a wonderful job and I could not be more pleased. I feel so sexy and uninhibited…during intercourse my mind is on the pleasure and sensation I can actually feel now, and I am not self consciously obsessing about trying to squeeze my muscles. I am a rejuvenated woman, indeed.

I cannot agree more with my wife that our lovemaking is amazing now that she has had the rejuvenation. The best way I can describe it is to say that I have a woman with the sexual prowess of a 41 year old, with the anatomy of a 20 year old. WOW!
