    **I started menopause at 37 I am 50 now I started having some serious issues with utis about 4 1/2 years ago, I was extremely frustrated and the utis were really bad 2 of them actually turning into kidney infections and causing me to be on strong antibiotics for 3 weeks to clear them each time. I started having a hard time when sitting down or when driving, and I drive for a living about 11 hours a day 7 days a week, I was in a really bad way this was affecting my personal life and now my job. Then not long after this symptom began sex also became very painful and the utis were every single time we had sex it was very bad and caused me serious pain to the point that I was ready to give up sex and my job and finally I did give up sex for over 2 years. Now the thing is I started reading, looking into this VA trying to understand it better I went to a bunch of different doctors and they all tested me for this and that and still no relief so I did my own research and got a doctor who specializes in just menopause and its effects she put me on vaginal cream and lopreeza but I hated the cream and the mess it made and the lopreezas side effects messed me up causing me high blood pressure, weight gain, swelling in my ankles and a pain in my side that was like a really bad stitch and it wouldn't go away, I stopped the lopreeza and all of this went away. I have been reading all your comments and wanted to share what I have found that is working for me because this has been an absolutely awful experience and I found there really isn't enough research being done for it and the medications and information on VA is almost non existant and alot of the doctors I saw for this are just not empathatic at all and one got down right ugly with me that one almoat made me give up! It seems to me that its a big money game and not much about an interest in helping women with this I just dk but I do know that for me and I believe many others its been a nightmare starting with mood swings, night sweats, hot flashes, and leading up to VA and for me Bladder atrophy as well and its been a long road figuring this out and if by writing this I can help others its worth it and I really do hope it does help others cause I know what I've gone through and right now I feel more normal than I have in years. I went to my gyn and asked her for osphena but I also saw a flier while in the waiting room for another product which is what I ended up with because my gyn didn't care for the osphena and said it wasn't what I needed then she gave me a sample and a script for the one on the flier and I tried it and its working, now I am also taking a supplement alongside this medication but the painful sex and the utis are gone now, I still get a little bit of pain in one area but the rest has vanished and otherwise I'm back to myself again so maybe this will help others too.

    **The script:

    Intrarosa prasterone vaginal inserts 6.5 mg

    **The supplement:

    Vibrant Health U.T. Vibrance Crisis intervention D-Mannose 5,000 mg **

    **I take the insert daily before bed so it has time to work and its not as messy as the cream was. (It started working in juat a month, no more painful sex)

    **I take this to help with the uti's:

    I take the D-Mannose once daily one tablet.

    If you feel a uti coming on use this D-Mannose more often I take 2 tablets twice a day 2 tablets in the morning and 2 tablets at night before bed if I feel one coming on.

    **Ladies this has worked for me sex no longer hurts and it was literally knocking me down I was in a fetal position in awful pain the last time before I got this and started using it I could not sit down without pain it was terrible and took 2 weeks and more antibiotics to get rid of that pain and before I started using this the uti pain was steadily causing me serious issues. Its something you can try and I hope it helps you out like it has me. If anyone tries this please let me know, I'm very interested in knowing if this helps others like it has me. **

      I was just like you....I was actually called the UTI Queen at a university hospital in Ontario Canada. Always in so much pain and discomfort and always having to take very strong antibiotics. Also had a major kidney infection....hospitalized 7 days.

      Since the ML treatment, I have no UTIs

      I will keep your info of meds just in case I get LS bad again.

      marilyn, I'm not sure her symptoms are LS symptoms. Do you have UTIs with LS? UTIs typically occur with atrophy. I have both but fortunately so far no UTIs.

    Not sure

    .. I only know that I had UTIs so often and after the Mona Lisa treatment I no longer have UTI

      I assume Syndrome is synonymous with Sclerosis? Are you in the US?

      I googled L. syndrome and the definition seems the same as L. sclerosis.

      Ah, so does that mean you are fortunate enough to have the procedure covered by insurance or is it considered optional surgery even there?

    I went to a Endocrinologist about my thyroid, and as he was asking me questions, I mentioned how my atrophy was seriously bad, and my sleep life ended after my PCP took me off of the Estrogen I'd taken for ten years. THANKFULLY, he informed me there was NO reason I couldn't be taking just estrogen. He explained that the study that alarmed doctors, and made them stop long term use of estrogen was a study with estrogen that contained testosterone and progesterone. ESTROGEN BY ITSELF IS OK!!! So, he told me to talk to my GYN about prescribing just estrogen. She agreed with him and now I'm on a low dose. MY GYN also gave me prescription of ESTRADIOL 1gram 2x's a week because it helps with the atrophy, and has other benefits, I just can't remember them now. Intercourse does not hurt anymore!!!!!

    The ML was a total waste for me.

    Years before I had the ML, I had a bad kidney infection, started peeing blood, went to ER scared to death! I still have incontinence when I cough or sneeze. ML did not help this either. I was hoping the ML was the answer but it wasn't. ALL I needed was a low dose of estrogen only, and now I feel normal again. SAD I WASTED so much money chasing a cure that was promised, but only a scam. I hope others reading will be helped by this post and will go to there GYN for estrogen only and forget the ML.

    Question to those that had this procedure done. In your experience, How long did it take for the bladder spasms and the feeling I have a UTI go away after MLT session? This procedure really flipped out my bladder out. I am kicking myself for having it done. I wish I saw this forum before I had the procedure. I would never had done it. 😦

    Thanks

      i didn't have this experience from ML, but the symptoms you mention are ones I had recently after a UTI. At first I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis, but thanks to a wonderful pelvic floor physical therapist, it was muscle spasms, and muscular/skeletin issues. After 3 sessions no pain.

      Praise the Lord. I woke up today with no bladder spasms and just a little tenderness. Doctor agreed to refund my money after prorating it. I suggested that they must tell patients the side effects and complications of MLT, so they can make a better informed decision.

      Glad to hear it doesn't seem to have caused you any permanent damage. That they would not have you sign a release that explains the risks seems utterly foolish. Was nothing discussed? When you pick up a prescription every possible side effect is listed.

    • Posted

      I signed a release, but none of the possible side effects were listed. Just general jargon. I brought this up to them. Hope they change the release form. Crazy!

      Guess it's buyer beware. Whose idea was it for you to have it done? Did the doc recommend it to you or did you seek him out to have it done?
