Let's Talk Pain Points - How to Achieve Satisfying and Pain Free Sex
Prioritize Lubrication: Proper lubrication is a cornerstone of enjoyable and pain-free sex. Especially since vaginal dryness affects 85% of menopausal women. When the vagina is well-lubricated, it not only increases comfort but also reduces friction. There are various options available, such as water-based, silicone-based, or oil-based lubricants. Just remember, if you opt for an oil-based lube, ensure you have backup contraception as they can break down condoms. Coconut oil is also a great alternative and low cost option.
Vaginal Moisturizers: Vaginal moisturizers are your best friend for maintaining vaginal health. They adhere to the vaginal mucosa and help the vaginal cells retain moisture. By doing so, they can minimize small tears, which can lead to pain and even potential infection. These moisturizers are especially beneficial for women experiencing symptoms of vaginal dryness. Balancing the Vaginal pH: Vaginal pH plays a crucial role in maintaining the right environment for your intimate health. The average vaginal pH is around 4.5, and it is regulated by beneficial bacteria called lactobacilli. These bacteria help keep the pH level low, creating a healthy vaginal environment. Non-invasive vaginal treatments, such as the Plus 90, can help maintain lactobacilli levels, enhance lubrication, improve sensation during sex, and reduce urinary incontinence symptoms. They can also help improve vaginal tissue thickness and overall health. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Injections: PRP injections are another exciting option to consider. These injections can enhance libido, improve orgasm experiences, and aid in lubrication for sex. While mind-blowing orgasms are a fantastic goal, the ultimate objective is a satisfying overall sexual experience. Our sexual health is part of a larger picture of wellness, that directly impacts our self worth, our human connections and our emotional and psychological health. If you are experiencing pain, discomfort or not feeling fulfilled by your sexual experiences, it is definitely worth investing in strategies that can help you feel not only better, but your best.
