Painful Intercourse

Restore mucosal lining hydration, improve tissue elasticity, and resolve vaginal dryness through comfortable, non-hormonal laser treatments.

THE SCIENCE

Reversing Dryness & Atrophic Changes

Painful intercourse (dyspareunia) in women is frequently caused by Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) or vaginal atrophy. A lack of estrogen causes the vaginal mucosa to thin, dry, and lose its natural elasticity. When friction occurs, it results in micro-tears, burning, and pain.

At Intimaa Wellness, we offer a highly effective, hormone-free alternative. Precisely measured fractional laser pulses heat the deep sub-mucosal layers. This thermal stimulation triggers immediate neo-vascularization (formation of new capillary networks) and collagen synthesis. The vaginal walls become thicker, softer, and more compliant, restoring natural moisture glands to resolve painful friction permanently.

INDICATIONS

Are You Experiencing These Symptoms?

Signs that indicate you can benefit from tissue hydration therapy

Pain / Burning During Intercourse

Experiencing mild to severe dyspareunia (sharp pain, burning, or deep aching) during or immediately after intimate contact.

Severe Vaginal Dryness

A constant feeling of dry tissues, leading to irritation, itching, or discomfort during simple movements like walking or sitting.

Breast Cancer Survivors

Women seeking dryness relief who cannot take estrogen creams or oral hormone pills due to a history of hormone-receptor positive cancers.

Post-Menopausal Discomfort

Thinning of the vaginal lining (atrophy) starting after menopause, causing loss of elasticity and overall pelvic dryness.

PROCEDURE JOURNEY

What to Expect

A step-by-step walkthrough of your care path

01

Initial Consult

A comprehensive, private gynaecological exam is performed to check for inflammation, micro-tears, or active infections. We outline your personalized laser power settings based on your comfort level.

02

The Laser Session

A small glass probe is inserted gently using a clinical lubricating gel. Gentle thermal energy is directed at the mucosal layers. You will feel a comfortable warming sensation for 15 minutes.

03

Simple Recovery

Return to work immediately. Mild watery discharge is normal for 24-48 hours. Avoid sexual intercourse, vaginal tampons, swimming, and heavy physical core exercises for 3 to 5 days.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Pain during intimacy is often caused by thin, dry mucosal tissues rubbing together. Laser therapy heats the tissue structure, prompting the body to generate new capillaries and collagen. This thickens the vaginal walls and restores natural lubrication glands.
Yes, absolutely. Because our laser treatments are entirely drug-free and hormone-free, they are highly recommended by oncologists for breast cancer survivors suffering from severe dryness who cannot use estrogen creams.
Many patients report significant improvement in moisture levels and comfort within 2 weeks of their first session. These results continue to build and improve over the course of the 3-session protocol.
