Capturing lived experience, in a woman’s own words, before mapping to standardized clinical categories such as MedDRA, makes all the difference for care.
A recent study led by Tamar Zelovich did exactly this, tracking 34 women with endometriosis who self-reported their symptoms for a year.
78% reported chronic pelvic pain, including pelvic floor discomfort, painful sex, vaginal dryness and irritation, lower back and leg pain, gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue.
This overlap is particularly relevant to how we approach intimate wellbeing at Aquafit Intimate because it’s typically not one thing or another.
Our 3-in-1 vaginal hydrogel uniquely combines intimate training for pelvic floor tonus with deep hydration and pH balance, supporting the overlapping pelvic, vaginal and microbial dimensions of endometriosis-associated pain.
“I have endometriosis and was on hormonal contraceptives. I stopped because of dryness and recurrent yeast infections. Aquafit is the only thing that helps me relieve persistent burning, irritation and pain with sex.”
From our super-users living with endometriosis, we know that listening to, identifying and relieving discomfort, all together now, can open new possibilities for managing pain with effective, safe, intimate self-care, designed to feel good.
1 in 10 women of reproductive age are living with #endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain.
