For women, there are probably many things preferable to a gynecologist visit. But Dr. Jennifer Adams is one many want to see.
That’s because the board-certified gynecologist shifted from treating ovarian cysts, uterine cancer and menstrual matters to the world of cosmetic gynecology and sexual health.
“I fell in love with surgery first and then fell in love with women’s health,” she says. “There is just something really rewarding about helping women.”
The physician, who believes minimally-invasive options are usually preferable, relies on cutting-edge innovations to deliver fixes for issues like vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence and painful intercourse.
“As a surgeon who treated some of these things surgically, I really saw the value in non-surgical treatments with minimal to no downtime,” says Adams who did a fellowship in minimally-invasive techniques. “That’s the way of the future.”
She is the only doctor in Calgary to offer the MonaLisa Touch laser to treat vaginal atrophy symptoms often affecting menopausal women while the TempSure Vitalia procedure achieves non-surgical vaginal tightening inside and out and the O Shot, relying on platelet-rich plasma from a patient’s blood enhances nerve function, blood flow and tissue regeneration, allowing Adams to go beyond the typical gynecologist’s mainstay of lubricants, vaginal moisturizers and estrogen.
“I have had countless patients who have said, ‘I’ve not been able to have intercourse for years,’” Adams says. “They didn’t think it was possible. They have newfound happiness and they feel closer to their partners and are ecstatic about it.”
“There’s lots of solutions. That’s the beauty of it.”
Other patients want cosmetic options like labiaplasty to revise the labia. It is currently the fastest-growing cosmetic procedure in North America. “In my experience, the vast majority of patients say they have been thinking about this for a long time,” Adams says of the particularly personal procedure. “They want to boost their confidence. It’s the same reason people get other cosmetic procedures. It’s all about feeling your best.”
Patients do not require a referral to have a consult with Dr. Adams.
