Sexual fulfilment is unique to each woman and closely linked to her experiences, her relationship with her body, her feelings and her perception of sexuality. In terms of female sexualityThe intimate relationship shared with one's partner is essential. As well as psychological and emotional factors, certain physiological or anatomical elements can hinder the onset of pleasure. Some women may experience discomfort, or even pain during sexual intercourse or an absence of sensation. Depending on the diagnosis, morphological and anti-ageing medical techniques may be recommended in certain cases.
Closely linked to women's place in society and changing social mores, women's sexuality has changed considerably in recent decades. In France, in the wake of May 68, the Women's Liberation Movement demanded women's right to control their own bodies.
There is no "model" for female sexuality, which is characterised by its multiplicity. For example, female arousal manifests itself through certain bodily reactions common to all women, such as vaginal lubrication. However, the physical and sensory stimuli that trigger sexual arousal (caresses, looks, images, perfumes, etc.) vary from one woman to another, from one situation to another and from one moment to another. Female enjoyment is the result of a combination of physiological, psychological and emotional factors. Perceived by some men as the culmination of sexual intercourse, a female orgasm is not a prerequisite for sexual pleasure or a condition for fulfilling sexuality.
Sexology distinguishes between two types of female orgasm. The orgasm caused by stimulation of the clitoris is known as clitoral orgasm. Sexual arousal leads to an influx of blood to the clitoris. With 8,000 nerve endings, this area of the vulva is the erectile body of the female sex. A majority of women claim to have already experienced a clitoral orgasm.
While the clitoris plays a central role in female sexuality, 20 % of women claim to achieve orgasm through vaginal penetration alone. Considered rarer, vaginal orgasm is correlated with stimulation of the G-spot. This term refers to an erogenous zone located on the anterior wall of the vagina, in the concave part, which is more difficult to access. More precisely, the G-spot corresponds to a slight excrescence of variable size, stimulation of which increases sexual pleasure. There is a medical technique forincrease in the G-spot. The erogenous point gains in volume, thanks to hyaluronic acid injections performed at the surgery. For this type of procedure, the practitioner uses hyaluronic acid specially formulated for women's intimacy.
For some women, vaginal penetration is painful, even if they feel desire for their male partner.
These pain during intercourse may be linked to anatomical or physiological characteristics of the female sex, such as :
A medical consultation and a gynaecological examination enable a diagnosis to be made. These physical discomforts and pains cause psychological suffering for the women concerned and, often, a drop in sexual desire. In some cases, hyaluronic acid injections or laser treatment can help to alleviate the pain by thickening the vaginal mucosa and stimulating lubrication.
Following pregnancy and childbirth, or as a result of the menopause, the muscles of the vagina may be less tonic. This vaginal relaxation leads to sexual and urinary discomfort, as well as a loss of sensation for some women at the moment of penetration, which can hinder their sexual fulfilment.
La vaginoplasty consists of a narrowing of the vaginal canal.
To carry out a vaginoplasty, doctors use two procedures: hyaluronic acid injections or laser treatment, depending on the diagnosis.
