Changes during menopause can affect a woman's sex life
The vaginal walls become thinner, losing elasticity and resistance to trauma, which affect sex life. A minimally invasive and effective therapy that has become essential at IML for our patients.
During the excitement stage, muscular laxity can occur in women, coupled with an absence of tumescence in the external genitalia and no vaginal lubrication. This reduces sensitivity both in the woman and her partner. The possibilities of penetration being painful also increase as well as the risk of atrophic vulvovaginitis and urinary incontinence.
Women in pre or post menopause are familiar with the problems due to the their genital ageing and are increasingly consulting with their gynaecologists so they can keep up a normal sex life. The new IML vulvovaginal rejuvenation method restores tissue vitality and recovers their tightness, tumescence and ability to secrete, reclaiming the woman's ability to enjoy sex.
