Mild Stress Incontinence is a very real, unpleasant effect of menopause. 😕
Very often, women with peri and menopause experience urinary leakage when they encounter a mild stressor, such as coughing, laughing, or sneezing.
One way to help manage Mild Stress Incontinence is strengthening your pelvic floor muscles.
Another method to combat urinary leakage is through MLT laser treatments which help regenerate the collagen in the membrane lining of the vaginal wall.
Not only that, but MLT helps with vaginal dryness and s*xual discomfort.
If you’re interested in MLT, book a free consultation with Dr. Wong and he can help you figure out if it’s the right solution for you! 🙌

“Eat more fruits and vegetables.” We’ve all heard this advice before, but when it comes to menopause, that advice is more important than ever. 🍴
A diet with fruit and vegetables can help lessen the unpleasant feelings that come with . 🙌
If you’re bored with your salad game, there are ways to change it up to make it exciting again! 🥳
Add toasted shaved almonds to your salad for crunch and a nuttier flavour.
There’s a wide variety of salad dressing recipes online as well to keep you coming back for more. (For my money, nothing beats a raspberry vinaigrette!) 🤌🏻
Consider inviting some stronger cheeses to the mix, like parmesan, goat's cheese or feta!
🥗 Salads get a bad rap for being boring, but just like pizza, it’s one of the most versatile dishes that can nourish your body, keep those menopause symptoms at bay, and have your tastebuds dancing! 💃

When you feel a little “release” down there, it’s not a great feeling. It can be embarrassing and leave you feeling betrayed by your own body. 😕
But take comfort in this: It happens to a lot of women going through menopause. You are definitely not alone in this. 🫂
One of the best ways you can help remove the shame is to talk to a trusted friend about what you’re going through. 🙌
If they’re also going through menopause, they’ll most likely relate to your experiences! 🤗💜

What is MonaLisa Touch (MLT)? Great question! It’s always a great idea to educate yourself when it comes to your health! 🙌
👀 MLT is gynecological laser therapy that helps restore natural lubrication, decrease vaginal discomfort and increase bladder control.
The laser therapy session itself only takes up to four minutes and it’s virtually painless! 😉
(Everyone is different and experiences sensations differently, but typically, it’s pain-free.)
In order to get the full impact of MLT, patients are required to have three sessions, but a lot of women feel the benefits immediately, after just one appointment!
Dr. Wong is proud to be able to help women regain their confidence and bring joy back into their lives. 💜
And it’s all thanks to this technology! 🤌🏻

🔥 Hot flashes are the most common symptom of menopause – they can cause quite a bit of discomfort and even contribute to night sweats and sleeplessness.
A few lifestyle changes can manage hot flashes, such as sleeping in cool temperatures and avoiding hot or spicy foods and caffeinated beverages to name a few.
☀️ This summer is a hot one, so make sure you’re staying cool and keeping hydrated! 💦

“I see women everyday who are suffering from GSM, and I know how much these symptoms impact not just how they feel physically, but emotionally – in terms of their self-confidence and relationships. Women living well into their 80s, will spend a third of their life post-menopause. They deserve vaginal health and they deserve to enjoy physical intimacy. This is a conversation women should feel empowered to have with their physicians. Let’s talk about it!”
