Dilators are generally used:
- After clinical treatments known to cause adhesions (soft tissue fusion) within the vagina such as after any surgical proceedures, a vaginal or abdominal hysterectomy, radiotherapy or after childbirth.
- To reduce spasms/clamping of pelvic floor muscles and to retrain vaginal muscles to relax (e.g. in cases of vaginismus; painful intercourse; or following childbirth).
- To help stretch scarring caused from stitiches after birth or with vulval skin conditions such as lichen sclerosis.
- To assist in overcoming psychological trauma associated with sexual intercourse.
- By women who have pain with sex, caused by other reasons.
A typical dilator program involves inserting a dilator that is comfortable yet applies some vaginal pressure/stretch. Dilators can be used daily (for approx. 10 mins) while doing relaxation techniques. After this a self stretching program and scar tissue massage can be performed. The goal is to insert the largest size dilator that you need to accomodate (usually the size of your husbands/partners penis) with no pain, stress response, fear/anxiety or embarrassment. Dilators can be used in the bath and cleaned with warm soapy water.
