Vaginal Entrance Pain

Pain caused by thick skin at the vaginal entrance

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

When the edge of the vaginal opening is tight and forms a band, the skin splits, and this 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 ease the pain with surgical or non-surgical methods, taking into account elasticity, length and width as well as age, menopause and more.

Why treating band pain matters to us at UROGYN

Because it is one of the main causes of painful sex, which leads to anorgasmia and sexless relationships.
