Recovery

Cancer treatments, including hormonal therapies, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and gynecologic surgeries, can disrupt vaginal estrogen and upend your sex life. Up to

75% of women in recovery experience vaginal dryness, atrophy, and irritation from medically induced menopause, affecting intimate well-being and quality of life.

Intimate Wellness Self-Care in Recovery

Intimate training self-care offers relief and supports sexual wellness for women recovering from cancer.

  • Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can temporarily or permanently disrupt ovarian function and estrogen production, leading to vaginal dryness, loss of elasticity, atrophy, irritation, and pain during sex.

  • Breast cancer hormonal therapies: Life-saving hormonal therapies that suppress estrogen production or receptors, including SERMs (for example Tamoxifen), SERDs, and aromatase inhibitors, disrupt vaginal estrogen and lead to dryness, atrophy, irritation, and painful intercourse.

  • Pelvic radiotherapy: External beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy, commonly used to treat cervical and pelvic cancers, lead to medically induced menopause, adhesions, stenosis, and atrophy, causing painful sex and making gynecological exams difficult.

  • Gynecologic surgeries: Procedures such as oophorectomy for ovarian or uterine cancer, and preventive surgery for BRCA, cause medically induced menopause, leading to vaginal dryness, atrophy, irritation, and painful sex.

A gentle recovery

Aquafit Intimate training combines pelvic floor tonus with deep hydration and pH balance for vaginal relief and a gentle recovery.

Deep hydration: Hydrates sensitive vaginal tissue to relieve dryness linked to medically induced menopause after chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, or radiotherapy.

Rebalance vaginal acidity: Helps maintain a healthy pH range (3.8–4.5) to relieve irritation (itching, burning, odorous discharge), while supporting healthy flora and helping prevent infections.

Pelvic floor tonus: Supports pelvic floor tonus to help prevent adhesions, stenosis, atrophy, and incontinence, and support pain-free intimacy in recovery.

FAQ's

Can Aquafit help with vaginal stenosis or adhesions after radiotherapy?
Yes. Regular gentle intimate training with Aquafit PRÉ Intimate Gel-Stick helps support elasticity and prevent adhesions with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration. It provides a safe method to relieve narrowing, pain from scar tissue after pelvic radiation, dryness and discomfort during intimacy, and enable pain-free follow-up pelvic exams.
Is Aquafit safe to use during hormone therapy for breast cancer?
Absolutely. Many women taking estrogen modulators such as tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors experience severe vaginal dryness and atrophy, particularly at the vaginal opening. Aquafit PRÉ is a 100% natural, water-based, hormone-free Intimate Gel-Stick with hyaluronic acid for deep hydration, supporting pelvic tonus, relieving narrowing, dryness and pain during sex.
How does Aquafit help with vaginal dryness caused by chemotherapy?
Chemotherapy can trigger medical menopause, leading to vaginal dryness, atrophy, and irritation. Aquafit PRÉ with hyaluronic acid hydrates tissue to relieve dryness. Aquafit BIO restores vaginal pH balance to relieve burning and irritation associated with low estrogen levels after treatment. Both support pelvic floor tonus and heighten tissue elasticity to relieve pain with sex.
Can I use Aquafit to support intimacy after gynecological cancer?
Yes. Recovery after gynecological cancer involves both physical and emotional healing. Aquafit supports this process by restoring tissue health, hydration, and pH balance, while helping to regulate pelvic floor tonus, heighten elasticity and prevent tightening. This helps break the cycle of pain, dryness and fear and enables a return to comfortable intimacy at your own pace.
