Painful sexual intercourse is a struggle many women face in silence. Whether it’s triggered by hormonal changes, childbirth, or pelvic floor dysfunction, the toll can affect both physical health and emotional well-being. At Murrieta Health & Aesthetics, we offer non-surgical solutions that address the source of discomfort. One of the most effective is Femilift, a CO₂ laser therapy that helps restore vaginal lubrication, tone, and comfort.
Femilift is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled laser pulses to stimulate collagen production in the vaginal wall. This strengthens the tissue, improves elasticity, and supports better moisture levels—key factors in reducing pain during sex.
It’s designed to help women experiencing:
The procedure typically takes 10 to 15 minutes, requires no anesthesia, and involves no downtime. Most women notice improvements after the first session, with optimal results after three treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Pain during sex—medically called dyspareunia—can present as burning, sharp, or deep pain. It may happen at the vaginal opening or with deep penetration. Common causes include:
In some cases, vulvar vestibulitis syndrome, involuntary spasms, or superficial dyspareunia contribute to sexual pain. These conditions often go undiagnosed or are mistaken for mental health issues, which can delay care.
Understanding whether the pain is surface-level or internal helps guide treatment. A physical exam, patient history, and in some cases, imaging or lab work may be used to determine the best path forward.
Proper diagnosis is essential. During a medical evaluation, your provider may use a speculum to examine the vaginal canal and perform a pelvic exam to assess tenderness or abnormalities. For suspected conditions like endometriosis, retroverted uterus, or fluid-filled sacs, additional imaging may be needed.
If no clear medical condition is found, Femilift becomes a strong candidate for treatment.
Deep pelvic pain can disrupt every aspect of a woman’s sex life. It may stem from internal inflammation, tension, or anatomical conditions affecting the pelvic region. For many women, this kind of pain leads to lowered sexual desire, avoidance of sexual activity, and increasing relationship strain.
Recognizing that this type of pain is often both physical and emotional in origin helps normalize treatment. A mix of medical intervention, therapy, and sexual health support can lead to long-term improvement.
Unlike temporary fixes like lubricants, Femilift works at the cellular level. It enhances blood flow, improves tissue strength, and supports natural lubrication—all without hormones. It’s an ideal solution for women who want to avoid estrogen-based therapies.
Most patients experience relief for 12 to 24 months, depending on age, hormonal balance, and lifestyle. Annual maintenance treatments can help preserve results.
Femilift is one of the few treatment options that improves vaginal structure and function without the need for medication or recovery time.
Can younger women experience painful sex?
Yes. Painful intercourse affects women of all ages. Hormonal birth control, pelvic floor tension, or psychological stress can all play a role.
How soon can I have sex after treatment?
Most women can resume sexual activity within three to five days.
Does Femilift help with more than dryness?
Yes. It also supports pelvic floor health, may reduce mild urinary incontinence, and improves comfort during sex.
Do I need a diagnosis before trying Femilift?
Not necessarily. If your provider rules out major medical conditions, Femilift may be recommended based on symptoms alone.
Pain during sex is not something to ignore or normalize. It’s a signal that your body needs care. Whether it's due to genital pain, chronic pain, or changes in the vaginal wall, solutions are available.
At Murrieta Health & Aesthetics, we help patients talk openly, assess symptoms thoroughly, and explore options like Femilift when appropriate. From mental health support to physical therapy referrals, we’re here to guide your path to lasting relief and a more confident sex life.
