Vaginal Health Clinic in London
Changes in vaginal and intimate health can affect comfort, confidence and relationships. Dryness, irritation, a feeling of reduced tone, discomfort during sex or mild urine leakage are all common, particularly after childbirth and around the menopause. They are also concerns that can be assessed and treated.
Our consultant-led vaginal health clinic in London offers discreet, individual care for a range of intimate and pelvic health concerns. We take time to understand your symptoms and priorities, then explain the options that may be appropriate for you.
Looking after your vaginal health
Many women notice changes to their vaginal and intimate health at different stages of life. These changes can be associated with pregnancy and childbirth, the menopause, hormonal shifts or ageing. They are common, but they do not need to be dismissed or managed alone.
Symptoms can include vaginal dryness, irritation, reduced lubrication, discomfort during sex, a feeling of looseness or reduced tone, and mild leakage when coughing, laughing or exercising.
Rather than viewing each symptom in isolation, we take a joined-up approach to vaginal and intimate health. A confidential consultation can help establish what is causing your concerns, identify whether any separate treatment is needed and create a care plan based on what you would like to improve.
What vaginal health covers
Our service supports women with a range of vaginal, urinary and pelvic floor concerns.
Vaginal dryness
Dryness, irritation or discomfort, often linked to hormonal changes during or after the menopause.
Vaginal laxity
A feeling of looseness or reduced vaginal tone, which some women notice after childbirth or with age.
Comfort and intimacy
Discomfort during sex, changes in sensation or symptoms that are affecting confidence and intimate wellbeing.
Mild stress leakage
Small amounts of urine leakage during coughing, laughing, lifting or exercise. This can occur alongside changes to the pelvic floor.
How we assess vaginal and intimate health
Your first appointment is a private, unhurried consultation. Your consultant will listen to your concerns, ask about your symptoms and medical history, and discuss what you would like to achieve.
Consultation and symptom review
A sensitive discussion about your symptoms, including dryness, discomfort, changes after childbirth or menopause, leakage and the effect these are having on daily life.
Urine testing
If urinary symptoms or leakage are part of the picture, a urine test may be arranged to rule out infection or other causes.
Examination where appropriate
A gentle examination may be recommended to assess vaginal, pelvic floor or skin changes and to help identify the likely cause of your symptoms.
Further assessment where appropriate
Your consultant may recommend further investigation if symptoms suggest a condition that would benefit from separate assessment or treatment.
From assessment to treatment
The first step is understanding what is contributing to your symptoms. Your consultant will consider whether concerns are most likely to be linked to hormonal changes, pelvic floor function, urinary incontinence, a skin condition or another cause.
Treatment is then matched to the findings and your personal priorities. Some women benefit from simple measures, prescribed topical or hormonal treatment, or pelvic floor rehabilitation. Non-surgical procedures may be considered where appropriate. Your consultant will explain the options clearly, including what each treatment involves and what it may realistically help with.
Treatments for vaginal health
Treatment is tailored to you and may involve more than one approach.
Vaginal Rejuvenation
Laser treatment may be considered for selected women with vaginal symptoms. Your consultant will discuss whether this is appropriate for you, what the procedure involves and the potential benefits and limitations.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
A structured programme to support the pelvic floor muscles. This may include supervised exercises and, where appropriate, treatment using the EMSELLA chair.
