Painful intercourse, known medically as dyspareunia, is a common issue affecting many women, particularly as they age, undergo hormonal changes, or experience other medical conditions. This discomfort can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life, intimate relationships, and overall well-being. An innovative treatment like VTone offers hope and relief for those suffering from this condition. 

What causes painful intercourse?

• Vaginal Dryness: Often associated with menopause, breastfeeding, or certain medications, vaginal dryness leads to insufficient lubrication, making intercourse uncomfortable or painful. 

• Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Weak or overly tight pelvic floor muscles can contribute to pain during intercourse.

• Vaginal Atrophy: Thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to decreased estrogen levels can cause pain. 

• Infections or Inflammations: Conditions like yeast and bacterial infections, can cause discomfort during sex.

What is a VTone procedure?

VTone is a gentle, non-surgical FDA cleared technology designed to provide intravaginal electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) and neuromuscular re-education to rehabilitate weak pelvic floor muscles and improve symptoms of stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence. This technology promotes increased blood flow to the vaginal tissues. Enhancing circulation improves tissue health, lubrication, and overall vaginal function. 

Treatment begins with a thorough consultation with a healthcare provider to determine if VTone is suitable for your condition. VTone treatments are gentle and require no anesthetic. An applicator is gently inserted into the vagina, which emits waves that stimulates and contracts the muscles at a high intensity. Patients experience a tingling, contracting sensation that is easily tolerable and not painful. These treatments are conducted in a series of sessions, typically lasting about 30 minutes each. The number of sessions required will vary based on individual needs and the severity of symptoms, but standard number of sessions are 6-8 over 3 months, with annual maintenance sessions.

How does VTone help with painful intercourse?

Treatments trigger the body’s natural muscle building and tissue regeneration. Within two weeks, significant vaginal tightening and improvements in lubrication are noticed. The electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) helps improve pain, loose vaginal muscle tone, and lessened vaginal sensations. Most patients report improved sexual sensations. Results continue to build as the stimulated collagen and elastin restructures and strengthens the vaginal tissue and the muscles build, which continue more dramatically as further treatments are performed.
