Vaginal Entrance (Band) Pain

Pain caused by thick skin at the vaginal entrance

Band pain is caused by thick skin at the vaginal entrance.

When the edge of the vaginal opening is tight and forms a band, the skin splits, which can cause a sharp pain. It is one of the main causes of painful sex, which leads to anorgasmia and sexless relationships. At UROGYN Woman Clinic we relieve the pain with surgical or non-surgical methods, taking into account elasticity, length and width as well as your age, menopausal status and other factors.

Why treating band pain matters to us at UROGYN
