Vaginal and pelvic health is part of whole-woman health

Vaginal health is an important part of overall women's health and can change throughout perimenopause, menopause, postpartum, and other stages of life. Our providers offer personalized consultations to discuss concerns related to vaginal and vulvar health, hormonal changes, sexual wellness, and overall quality of life.

What to expect at your consultation

Your visit begins with a private, one-on-one conversation with our physician-led team about your symptoms, health history, and goals. Depending on your needs, your provider may recommend a pelvic examination or lab testing to better understand what may be contributing to concerns such as vaginal dryness, discomfort with intimacy, or changes during perimenopause, menopause, and after childbirth.

From there, Dr. Ibrahim and our team will walk you through the options that may be appropriate for you, which can include hormone therapy, non-hormonal approaches, and in-office procedures such as the Juliet laser. Juliet is an erbium laser that delivers controlled thermal energy to vaginal and vulvar tissue during a short in-office visit. Its use for vaginal and vulvar concerns is considered off-label, and the FDA has not cleared or approved any energy-based device for vaginal rejuvenation or for treating symptoms related to menopause, urinary incontinence, or sexual function. We will review the potential benefits, risks, limitations, and cost of each option so you can make an informed decision about your care.
