VFemina Announces the Addition of a Glenview Location

VFemina, a team of board certified OB/GYNs dedicated to promoting women’s intimate health and helping them live active, more fulfilling lives announced the expansion of its network to include Glenview doctor, Joyce Chams, MD. Dr. Chams is a board certified OB/GYN and has been in private practice for more than 20 years. She currently operates the Chams Womens Healthcare in Glenview.

One in four women over the age of 18 experiences episodes of leaking urine involuntarily. Stress urinary incontinence (the most common type among women, which occurs when coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercising) affects 15 million women in the U.S. alone!

And, while these statistics are alarming, most women wait an average of 6.5 years from the time they first experience "leaking" symptoms before seeking medical assistance. While there are some lifestyle changes that can be made to help combat the problem (i.e. drink fewer liquids, avoid jumping up and down, do Kegel exercises), these are not solutions. The most common treatment is invasive surgery, which can expose patients to risk and a lengthy, painful recovery.

The good news for many women is that there is a new alternative treatment to surgery. VFemina offers FemiLift, a pain-free, surgery-free laser treatment that requires no downtime, and is typically performed within 10 minutes. For many women who are suffering from stress urinary incontinence or vaginal dryness, the results are immediate.

Dr. Joyce Chams is part of the VFemina team, the only group of board certified OB/GYNs in Illinois to offer FemiLift, the latest laser technology for vaginal rejuvenation and relief from dryness and urinary stress incontinence. She can perform the procedure in office and improvements are noticed after only a few treatments. Three to four treatments are recommended and each woman must be evaluated to ensure that Femilift is right for them.
