Your Journey Explained

1. Your Consultation

We can see you in clinic face to face or virtually online. Our clinician will assess the underlying causes of the issue. This assessment may involve asking questions about your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any medications you may be taking. Additionally, a physical exam may be performed to check for any physical conditions that could be contributing to the situation. Further hormone level testing, blood tests, or imaging studies may be introduced at this point.

2. Your Treatment

Hormonal imbalances can contribute to painful sex, and we work closely with patients to identify and address any hormonal issues. By restoring hormonal balance, we aim to reduce pain and restore sexual pleasure. Furthermore, we offer the innovative Afrodite probe therapy. This non-invasive procedure uses advanced technology to stimulate blood flow and promote healing in the vaginal area, ultimately leading to a reduction in pain during intercourse.

3. Your Aftercare

If you have Emsella chair or Afrodite probe treatment, it is important to avoid any strenuous physical activities or intercourse for at least 24 to 48 hours after the procedure. This allows the body to heal and recover from the treatment.

“I used to get vaginal dryness which despite the estrogen cream I was using, made my sex life almost impossible because of the pain and discomfort. The afrodite wand treatment helped with this. My skin is healthier now and sex is on the cards again which is great. It’s made a huge difference and I’m so grateful to Chiltern Private. I will probably get this done annually to help keep the skin healthy so I can keep on top of results.”

FAQs

Why do I find sex painful?

A common cause of painful sex is insufficient lubrication, which can occur due to hormonal changes, or medication side effects. Medical conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or vaginal infections can also cause pain during sex. Additionally, psychological factors such as anxiety, trauma, or negative past experiences can create a physical response of pain.

How do your treatments work?

Our state-of-the-art technology uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. By sitting on the Emsella chair, patients can experience thousands of contractions in just a single session. These contractions help strengthen and tone the pelvic floor, which can alleviate pain during intercourse. This device provides much faster results than physiotherapy.

In addition to the Emsella chair, we also incorporate the use of the Afrodite probe. This specialised device is designed to target specific areas of discomfort or tension within the vaginal canal. By gently applying radiofrequency energy, the Afrodite probe promotes tissue regeneration and improves blood circulation.
