What is atrophic vaginitis?Atrophic vaginitis is a condition characterized by thinning of the vaginal walls and decreased lubrication, leading to increased vaginal dryness and inflammation. It is mainly caused by decreased levels of estrogen, the main female sex hormone, and is a very common problem in postmenopausal women (50% of menopausal women suffer from vaginal atrophy), affecting both their sexual function and quality of life. Symptoms can persist for years if not treated promptly. The causes are varied and can range from minor side effects of infections, atypical morphology, congenital malformations, or simply fear of penetration. Vaginal atrophy is more common than people realize, affecting women of all ages, although it is more prevalent in women after childbirth or while breastfeeding. However, the highest number of cases are detected in postmenopausal women, affecting one in two. symptom Vaginal dryness Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia) Burning or stinging sensation when urinating. Urinary incontinence. Vaginal prolapse Thinning of the vaginal walls Vaginal burning Minor vaginal bleeding What is vaginismus?Vaginismus is a vaginal constriction of the pelvic floor that causes discomfort, burning, pain, difficulty with penetration, or the complete inability to have sexual intercourse. Vaginismus is a common cause of ongoing sexual pain. It can affect women at all stages of life, even those who have had comfortable sexual relations for years. When a man attempts to have sex with a woman, the pelvic floor muscles contract and tighten, closing off the vaginal opening and making intercourse impossible and painful. This type of vaginismus makes penetration impossible. In other cases of vaginismus, penetration may be possible, but the woman experiences periods of involuntary contraction that cause burning, discomfort, or pain. symptom Burning or itching with constriction during sexual intercourse Difficulty or inability to penetrate, pain during penetration, uncomfortable insertion of the penis Persistent sexual discomfort or pain after childbirth, urinary tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases, hysterectomy, menopause, or other problems Continuous sexual pain of unknown cause, for no apparent reason. Difficulty inserting a tampon or performing a gynecological/pelvic exam Spasms in other muscle groups of the body (legs, lower back, etc.) and/or shortness of breath during attempted sexual intercourse Avoiding sexual intercourse due to pain and/or failureSolution:The INTIMICHIC silicone dilator allows you to exercise and gradually dilate the vaginal canal. Through small daily exercises, it also helps you overcome the fear of penetration. It is made up of three ergonomic elements of different sizes to alleviate this problem, which can have negative effects on sexuality and general psychological well-being. The INTIMICHIC dilator should be used with a water-based lubricant to facilitate the exercises and, at the same time, to lubricate and moisturize the vaginal mucosa. How to use the CHIC INTIMATE DILATOR? First, apply a small amount of water-based lubricant to the entrance of the vagina (about the size of a chestnut) and massage gently for 2 or 3 minutes. Then, take the smallest INTIMATE DILATOR. Apply lubricant to the tip in the same proportions. Then, start inserting it gently and gradually into the vagina. If you feel dryness, add more lubricant. You can continue this exercise for 10 to 15 minutes, making small back and forth movements. It is important to keep in mind that contraction of the vaginal muscles is harmful, so if it occurs, the exercise should be stopped. The goal is to relax the vaginal area and experience the accompanying pleasure, so it is recommended to use a very comfortable place to perform the exercises and listen to quiet music. One session per day with the INTIMATE DILATOR is sufficient. When exercises with the smallest element allow for comfortable and painless insertion, it is necessary to continue with exercises using a larger element.
