Botox is more commonly known as a way to get the skin firm and smooth. But Botox can also be found to treat pain during sex in women.

Some women experience pain during sex and so can not enjoy happy and healthy sex life . Fortunately, Botox injections can treat this problem.

According to Dr. Deborah Coady, an obstetrician who practiced in New York, there are several causes of pain during sex. The most common cause is a problem in the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue disorders, pelvic nerve irritation, diseased organ such as endometriosis or bladder syndrome and abnormalities in the bone.

Most women can be given proper treatment after obtaining an accurate and complete diagnosis. Treatment can be done by injecting a sore point, preventing the delivery of a damaged nerve impulses, pelvic floor therapy, and Botox injections.

Botox, or botulinum toxin A, commonly used for cosmetic needs such as tightening the forehead and eyes for a while, also get rid of wrinkles. But doctors found that Botox can also help relieve a variety of other health problems.

“Botox is a drug that can relax the muscles that had been injected. If a short or tense muscles is the cause of painful sex, then inject Botox into specific muscles, such as around the perineum and pelvic floor, will normalize the length and flexibility. The muscles will become more comfortable against the pressure. As a result, can improve sexual activity, “said Dr.. Coady.

“If used properly, Botox is very safe. However, if Botox injected in the wrong muscles or handling can cause the muscles  not function properly,” added Dr. Coady as reported by FoxNews, Thursday (26/01/2012)

Injecting in sensitive areas may prevent some women to wonder whether the cure will actually worsen the disease. Yet
Dr. Coady asserts that not to worry. With careful preparation, the pain can be minimized by anesthesia and drugs to make patients feel relaxed.

Because Botox should be injected into sensitive areas of the actual cause, Dr. Coady recommends that patients stay awake so that it can help guide physicians to find the area.

The effects of Botox usually last about three months and can take up to two or three weeks so that its effects can be felt full. For long-term solution, pelvic-floor physical therapy is imperative.

“The muscles of newly treated surrounded by connective tissue that is still short and inelastic. Physical therapy is necessary to normalize connective tissue in order to achieve balance and long-term strength,” said Dr.. Coady.

Botox is just one of many ways to treat pain during intercourse. But to treat the problem, patients should still consult with the appropriate doctor.
