Andrew provides Laser Therapy for Atrophic Vaginitis, a condition usually associated with Menopause. Women who have received treatment for Breast Cancer can also suffer from this condition. Andrew is conducting research with an Oncology colleague using this treatment option. It is an alternative to estrogen therapy for those wishing to avoid estrogen.

The Laser Therapy course of treatment most commonly involves 3 treatments, each lasting 10 minutes. The treatment sessions are given one month apart. Most patients tolerate it well and start to see benefit about a month after the first treatment. A fractionated CO2 laser, known as the Monalisa, is used.

Andrew has been involved in charitable work in Nepal in recent years, having been on 7 trips with a surgical and medical care team. The team have provided surgical treatment for women suffering significant degrees of Uterine Prolapse and Obstetric Fistula. Both conditions have a high incidence in women in Nepal.

Due to current discussions around foreign aid, this program has been put on hold.

Andrew’s current preference regarding gifts is for funds to be directed towards the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Institute and the work of Professor Badawi and her team. Professor Nadia Badawi, a highly respected Neonatologist, is the Macquarie Foundation Chair of Cerebral Palsy and conducts significant research into this area, focusing on prevention, best intervention and ultimately a cure for cerebral palsy.
