#105 Let's Talk Va-Jay's-Jay's, Bladders & Snoring With Dr Mirjana Janjic
Show Notes:
Dr Mirjana Janjic is a women's health specialist with a specialist interest in state-of-the-art medical laser treatments for stress incontinence, vaginal atrophy, vaginal prolapse and snoring.
These are all common issues during menopause but many women are too embarrassed to talk about them. The good news is they're usually treatable.
Indeed, after training with specialist gynaecologists in Europe who are the pioneers of minimally invasive gynaecological laser procedures, Dr Mirjana introduced the innovative approaches to Melbourne, Australia and then Auckland, New Zealand.
Dr Mirjana is a Fellow of the Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), Fellow of Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia (CPCA) and a Board Certified Aesthetic Medicine Physician (AAAM).
