Painful Intercourse Treatment
Painful Intercourse Laser Treatment
Nothing is more frustrating than feeling uncomfortable before, during or after intimate moments. Painful intercourse has several causes, two of the most common being the narrowing of the vaginal opening and/or a thinning of vaginal walls called vaginal atrophy. When the vaginal walls start thinning, it can lead to dryness and irritation.
Generally, these conditions are caused by a lack of estrogen and a decline in the elasticity of vaginal collagen.
Our revolutionary Erbium laser protocol, supplemented with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is an effective treatment for this life altering problem. Maintenance involves only a quick once a year treatment, instead of having to insert creams or tablets in your vagina numerous time a week, forever.

Treatment
Dr. Murphy offers a few options; the Fotona RenovaLase system, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) and, if appropriate, a professional-grade dilation tool called the VSculpt Pro.
The Fotona RenovaLase system frees you from taking pills or using messy vaginal creams and it was designed for survivors of breast cancer or endometrial cancer who cannot take estrogen– making it a safe, and holistic treatment option.
In our clinic, treating painful intercourse involves three (20-minute) initial sessions and one yearly maintenance session for optimal results. Our clinic also offers the World PRP (platelet-rich plasma) add-on which gives a boost of nutrients to your tissues as well. PRP can be combined with your laser treatment for enhanced and quicker results.
