Decreased sensitivity
Women can notice changes in vaginal sensation, often after childbirth, with ageing, or during hormonal transitions such as perimenopause or menopause. Reduced sensitivity can make it harder to enjoy intimacy or reach orgasm, affecting confidence and relationships.
Symptoms of decreased sensitivity
Symptoms include reduced physical sensation during sex, difficulty achieving orgasm, or a feeling that intimacy feels ‘different’ or less pleasurable. Clinically, this can be related to pelvic floor weakness, nerve changes, reduced blood flow, pelvic surgery or tissue laxity. Hormonal shifts, particularly around menopause or postnatally, may also contribute.
Treatments for decreased sensitivity
At Lift and Revive, we offer a physiotherapy-led, personalised approach to optimise pelvic floor function, improve circulation, and address other modifiable factors that may contribute to decreased sensitivity.
Your plan may include:
Pelvic health physiotherapy to assess and treat any underlying pelvic floor dysfunction contributing to decreased sensation.
Manual therapy and guided exercises to release tension, improve muscle function, and enhance pelvic awareness.
Lifestyle advice and education to promote ongoing pelvic health.
Advanced, non-surgical treatments such as Emsella, FormaV, or Morpheus8V, which can help improve muscle tone, blood flow, and tissue sensitivity.
Combined, these treatments aim to restore comfort, confidence, and pleasure, supporting your journey to renewed sexual wellbeing.
