Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

I do exactly what you said, Karen.

I bill it as labial hypertrophy with a simple vulvectomy as the code.

But then, of course, there's others who just, you know, prefer not to go through insurance because the practitioner is just cash only or however you want to describe it.

I don't know how it is in Philly, Arianna.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

Yeah, and I think that's a good segue into the topic of vaginal lasers because many people would say that is really what vaginal rejuvenation is or should be.

So maybe we should talk about the FDA indications for laser use and then what it's marketed for.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

Yeah, I would agree.

And I think one of the common misconceptions I hear from women is that it's going to enhance their sexual function.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

And there's a lot of marketing for that because there's, you know, we don't have enough FDA approved treatments in women for sexual dysfunction, whether it be lack of arousal, orgasm, low libido.

Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

We don't have great treatments.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

And so people are looking for therapies.

And to them, this is a form of vaginal rejuvenation to have laser.

And then maybe we can talk a little bit about what is the G-spot and is injecting platelet-rich plasma into the G-spot something that is considered vaginal rejuvenation?

And is it potentially beneficial in any way?

BackTable Urology
Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

I think that's a great point.

I will say I was at least told that it may take a year or more for the actual inserts to be taken out of the vaginal estrogen boxes, whether it be a cream, a tablet, or a ring.

BackTable Urology
Ep. 285 Guide to Vaginal Rejuvenation: Myths, Realities, & Medical Insights with Dr. Ariana Smith and Dr. Karyn Eilber

So I still have patients bringing in those inserts.

BackTable Urology

So there may be a bit of a delay until that actually happens, but it is exciting.

I think one thing I see a lot, and I thought maybe I'd ask you about, is

both with hormone therapy being systemic and with vaginal estrogen.
