Vulvovaginal atrophy
Vulvovaginal atrophy: tissue thinning and reduced elasticity in the vulva and vagina, affects up to 50% of women during midlife and can occur around perimenopause, menopause, or after childbirth. It can lead to discomfort, irritation, and changes in sexual and urinary function, impacting confidence and everyday wellbeing.
Symptoms of vulvovaginal atrophy
You may notice vaginal or vulvar dryness, burning, soreness, or irritation. Discomfort during intimacy, decreased sexual pleasure, or urinary changes such as urgency, frequency, or recurrent infections can also occur. Clinically, these changes are most often caused by declining estrogen levels, but can also be influenced by medications, breastfeeding, or inflammatory skin conditions such as lichen sclerosus.
Treatments for vulvovaginal atrophy
Management depends on the underlying cause and your individual needs. Options can include hormone-based care and medical prescriptions and lifestyle adjustments. At Lift and Revive, we specialise in advanced, non-surgical treatments: FormaV and Morpheus8V, which help restore tissue elasticity, firmness, and hydration. These therapies may improve comfort, sexual function, and overall pelvic health. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the full range of options and tailor a plan that’s right for you.
