What is atrophic vaginitis?
Atrophic vaginitis is a condition characterised by thinning of the vaginal walls and a reduction in vaginal lubrication. This causes increased vaginal dryness and inflammation.
This is primarily caused by a drop in oestrogen, the main female sex hormone, which is a very common problem in women going through the menopause (50% of women affected by the menopause suffer from vaginal atrophy), affecting both their sexual function and quality of life. If appropriate measures are not taken, the symptoms may persist for years.
The causes vary and may stem from minor consequences of infection, abnormal morphology, congenital malformations, or simply a fear of penetration.
Vaginal atrophy is a more common problem than is generally believed, affecting women of all ages, although it is more frequently seen in women who have given birth or are breastfeeding. However, the highest number of cases is found in postmenopausal women – one in two.
Symptoms
Vaginal dryness
Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia)
Stinging or burning sensation when urinating
Inability to control urination
Vaginal prolapse; thinning of the vaginal walls
Vaginal burning
Minor vaginal bleeding
Vaginismus is a spasm of the pelvic floor muscles that causes discomfort, burning, pain, problems with penetration, or a complete inability to have sexual intercourse.
Vaginismus is a common cause of persistent pain during sex. It can affect women at all stages of life; even women who have been having sex comfortably for years.
When a man attempts to have intercourse with a woman, the pelvic floor muscles contract and tighten, closing the entrance to the vagina, making intercourse impossible and painful. This type of vaginismus prevents penetration.
In other cases, vaginal penetration may be possible, but the woman experiences periods of involuntary spasms that cause a burning sensation, discomfort or pain.
Symptoms
A burning or itching sensation with tightness during sex
Difficulty or inability to penetrate, pain during penetration, discomfort when the penis is inserted
Persistent sexual discomfort or pain following childbirth, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted infections, hysterectomy, the menopause or other issues
Persistent sexual pain of unknown origin, with no apparent cause
Difficulty inserting a tampon or undergoing a gynaecological/pelvic examination
Spasms in other muscle groups (legs, lower back, etc.) and/or breath-holding during attempts at intercourse
Avoiding sex due to pain and/or failure
Solution
The INTIMICHIC silicone dilator allows for exercises and the gradual dilation of the vaginal canal. At the same time, through small daily exercises, it helps to overcome the fear of penetration. It consists of three perfectly ergonomically shaped elements of different sizes to provide a palliative solution to this disorder, which has a detrimental effect on sexuality and general mental health.
The INTIMICHIC DILATOR should be used with a water-based lubricant to facilitate the exercises whilst moisturising and lubricating the vaginal mucosa.
How to use INTIMICHIC DILATOR?
First, apply a small amount of water-based lubricant to the vaginal opening (roughly the size of a chestnut) and massage gently for 2 or 3 minutes.
Next, take the smallest INTIMICHIC DILATOR insert. Apply the lubricant evenly to the tip in the same proportions.
Then begin to push, inserting it smoothly and gradually into the vagina. If you notice any dryness, add more lubricant.
You can continue the exercise for 10 to 15 minutes, making small rocking movements. Please note that vaginal muscle spasms are undesirable, so if they occur, you should stop the exercise.
The aim is to relax the vaginal area and seek the pleasure that accompanies it, so it is advisable to choose a very comfortable place to perform the exercises, accompanied by gentle music.
One session a day with the INTIMICHIC DILATOR is sufficient.
Once exercises with the smaller insert allow for comfortable insertion without discomfort, you should continue with exercises using the larger insert.
