What Toronto Women Actually Ask Us About Intimate & Pelvic Health
Every week, women reach out to us with questions they’ve often waited a long time to ask. We wanted to understand those questions better — not to diagnose anyone from a distance, but to see which intimate-health topics women in Toronto are quietly trying to make sense of, and to make our answers easier to find. So we looked back at 341 inquiries that came into our clinic over a twelve-month period and grouped them by the main topic each person raised.
Two topics account for more than half of the questions
Two subjects came up far more than any others. Interest in the O-Shot® and PRP (27.4%) and questions about lichen sclerosus (26.8%) together made up just over half of every topic-specific inquiry we received. That surprised us a little — lichen sclerosus in particular is a condition many women tell us they struggled to get taken seriously elsewhere, so seeing that much demand for clear, non-hormonal information felt meaningful. The rest of the questions spread across a familiar range of concerns: bladder and incontinence issues, laser treatment, and the everyday discomforts of dryness, itching, and menopause-related change.
What women asked about most
| Topic | Learn more | Share of questions |
|---|---|---|
| O-Shot® / PRP | PRP O-Shot | 27.4% |
| Lichen sclerosus | Lichen sclerosus | 26.8% |
| Bladder & incontinence | Mild incontinence | 10.1% |
| MonaLisa Touch® / laser | Laser treatment | 7.1% |
| Vaginal itching & irritation | Vaginal itch | 6.0% |
| Vaginal dryness | Vaginal dryness | 5.4% |
| Menopause & perimenopause | Laser & tissue care | 5.4% |
| Low libido / sexual wellness | Low libido | 3.0% |
| PRP & fertility | PRP & infertility | 3.0% |
| Painful intercourse | Painful intercourse | 2.4% |
| Sore vagina / vulvar pain | Sore vagina | 1.8% |
| Vaginal laxity / rejuvenation | Vaginal laxity | 1.8% |
Percentages are of the 168 inquiries we could confidently group by a single primary topic, out of 341 total. The remaining inquiries were general consultation or booking requests without a specific topic.
How women reached out: phone still matters for private topics
Of the 341 inquiries, 61% came through our website form and 39% came by phone. We mention this because it’s easy to assume everyone prefers to type these days. For sensitive, personal concerns, a lot of women still want to speak to a person — and we think that’s worth respecting rather than optimizing away. Both paths reach the same team, and neither is treated as more or less serious.
The questions we hear again and again
About the O-Shot® and PRP
“What actually is the O-Shot?” “Am I a candidate?” “Is it surgical?” These are almost always the first three. The short version: it’s a non-surgical treatment that uses platelet-rich plasma from your own blood, and whether it suits you is something we work out together in a consultation. More on our PRP O-Shot page.
About lichen sclerosus
“Is it contagious?” “Did I cause this?” “Will it go away on its own?” The answers, briefly: no, no, and it’s a chronic condition that is typically managed long-term rather than one that clears up by itself. We walk through non-hormonal options on our lichen sclerosus page.
About bladder leaks
“Can this improve without surgery?” and “Why did this start after menopause?” come up together often. For many women, lower estrogen thins the supporting tissue, and there are non-surgical approaches worth discussing first. See mild incontinence.
About dryness, itching, and painful intimacy
These questions tend to overlap — dryness, burning, and discomfort during sex are frequently described in the same message. We treat them as related tissue-health concerns rather than isolated symptoms. Our pages on vaginal dryness and painful intercourse cover the common causes.
How we put this together
- What we looked at. 341 inquiries received by our Toronto clinic between July 2025 and June 2026, across our website form and phone line.
- How we grouped them. Each inquiry was assigned to a single primary topic based on the concern the person described. 168 could be grouped this way; the rest were general booking or consultation requests without a specific topic.
- How we protected privacy. The data is fully anonymized and reported only in aggregate. There are no names, no individual messages, and nothing that could identify a person.
- What this is not. This is a snapshot of what women ask our clinic — not a measure of how common any condition is in the general population. It’s a single clinic, the people who contacted us chose to do so, and we’ve made no claims here about treatment outcomes or effectiveness.
