Recovery

Cancer treatments, including hormonal therapies, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and gynecologic surgeries cause vaginal changes and treatment induced menopause that can upend your sex life.

Up to 75% of women in recovery will experience vaginal pain, dryness, loss of elasticity, atrophy, irritation, that affect your intimate well-being and quality of life in recovery.

Intimate Wellness Self Care in Recovery

Intimate training self-care offers relief from vaginal pain and supports sexual health for women in recover from cancer:

  • Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy can temporarily or permanently disrupt ovarian function and estrogen production leading to vaginal dryness, loss of elasticity, atrophy, irritation and painful intercourse.
  • Breast Cancer Hormonal Therapy: LIfe saving BC hormonal therapies that suppress estrogen production and receptors including SERMs (eg. Tamoxifen), SERD's and Aromatase inhibitors, disrupt vaginal estrogen leading to vaginal dryness, loss of elasticity, atrophy, irritation and painful intercourse.
  • Pelvic Radiotherapy: External beam radiotherapy and brachytherapy commonly used to treat cervical and pelvic cancers, often lead to vaginal adhesions, stenosis, atrophy that cause pain during gynecologic exams and sex. Treatment induced vaginal symptoms of menopause include dryness, loss of elasticity, irritation and infections.
  • Gynecologic Surgeries: Procedures like oophorectomy for ovarian or uterine cancer (and preventive surgery for BRCA) causes treatment induced menopause, leading to vaginal dryness, loss of elasticity, atrophy, irritation and painful intercourse.

A gentle recovery

Aquafit Intimate training combines pelvic floor muscle training with deep hydration and pH balance for vaginal relief and a gentle recovery after cancer treatments:

Deep Hydration: Aquafit hydrates sensitive vaginal tissue to relieve dryness for treatment induced menopause after chemotherapy, hormonal therapy or radiotherapy.

Rebalance Vaginal Acidity: Maintains a healthy pH range (3.8-4.5) to protect against irritation (itching, burning, odorous discharge), UTIs, while supporting healthy flora.
