Sexual Health
Pain during intercourse is very common—nearly 3 out of 4 women have pain during intercourse at some time. For some women, the pain is only a temporary problem; for others, it is a long-term problem. Pain during sexual intercourse can be a warning sign of many gynecologic conditions. Some of these conditions can lead to other problems if not treated.

Some skin disorders may result in ulcers or cracks in the skin of the vulva. Contact dermatitis is a common skin disorder that affects the vulva. It reacts to irritating substances such as perfumed soaps, douches, or lubricants. It may cause itching, burning, and pain. Treatment of skin disorders depends on the type of disorder.

This is a pain disorder that affects the vulva. When pain is confined to the vestibule (the area around the opening of the vagina), it is known as vulvar vestibulitis syndrome (VVS).

Sexual Health
Sexual health is the state of physical, mental, and social well-being about sexuality. It requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships. Sexual health includes having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences free of coercion, discrimination, and violence.
Sexual health is the ability to embrace and enjoy our sexuality. It is an integral part of our physical and emotional health. Being sexually healthy means:
- Understanding that sexuality is a natural part of life involves more than sexual behavior.
- Recognizing and respecting the sexual rights we all share.
- Having access to sexual health information, education, and care.
- Trying to prevent unintended pregnancies and STDs and seeking care and treatment when needed.
- Being able to experience sexual pleasure, satisfaction, and intimacy when desired.
- Being able to communicate about sexual health with others, including sexual partners and healthcare providers.
Sexual health also encompasses a range of public health and clinical issues related to the prevention of sexually transmitted infections. The concept of sexual health is of fundamental relevance to all aspects of preventing sexually transmitted diseases.
Empower RF by InMode
Empower RF is a new safe and effective solution delivering life-changing technologies for women’s wellness. This innovative device is designed specifically to treat a broad range of conditions such as stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence, weak pelvic floor muscles, blood circulation, and pain relief.
V Tone
VTone is a highly effective and non-invasive treatment that helps tone and train pelvic floor muscles. During a VTone treatment, an egg-shaped device, about the size of a tampon, is placed into the vaginal canal to trigger involuntary muscle contractions. These contractions tone and tighten the pelvic floor, particularly those muscle fibers weakened or overstretched during pregnancy and childbirth.
VTone is recommended for any woman who experiences urinary incontinence and wishes to avoid bladder mesh surgery. Women who want to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles for sexual enhancement would also benefit from this treatment.
Forma V
FormaV is a vaginal rejuvenation treatment designed to improve internal tightness, circulation, and sensation. FormaV applies radiofrequency energy and localized heat to the inside of the vagina, which reaches the underlying layers of tissue and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which remodels and tightens the tissues and increases circulation.
Not only will vaginal elasticity help with general discomfort, but you may also experience increased sexual sensation after your treatments.
FormaV treatments are incredibly safe and effective. There is no downtime to worry about after your treatments. You may experience some swelling, redness, or sensitivity. Still, these temporary side effects only last a few days and should not interfere with returning to your usual activities or work.
