Painful Intercourse Isn’t Normal: When to Consider Vaginal Rejuvenation

January 18, 2026

Feeling discomfort during intimacy is something many women experience, but few talk about. While discomfort may occasionally happen, ongoing pain during intercourse—medically known as dyspareunia—should never be dismissed as “just the way things are.” At Better You Beauty Medspa, we believe every woman in Swanzey and the Monadnock Region deserves comfort, confidence, and vibrant wellness throughout every season of life.


Understanding Why Painful Intercourse Happens


Pain during intercourse is more common than you might think, particularly among women experiencing hormonal changes such as menopause or those who have recently given birth. In the chilly New Hampshire winter, issues like dryness and sensitivity can be exacerbated, making everyday intimacy more uncomfortable. Common causes include:


  • Hormonal shifts leading to vaginal dryness and thinning tissues
  • Postpartum changes, including scarring or decreased elasticity
  • Side effects from medication or certain health conditions
  • Infections, pH imbalances, or inflammation
  • Emotional factors, such as anxiety or stress.


When to Seek Help: It’s Not Just About Discomfort


If intercourse has become uncomfortable or even painful, it’s important to reach out rather than just “wait it out.” Many local women in Swanzey and neighboring areas struggle in silence, unaware that safe, effective solutions exist. You should consult a provider if:


  • Pain persists longer than a few weeks
  • Sex becomes something you avoid because of discomfort
  • Over-the-counter remedies and lubricants don’t provide relief
  • You notice symptoms such as bleeding, burning, or unusual discharge
  • There are changes in confidence or relationships due to discomfort.


What is Vaginal Rejuvenation and How Does It Help?


Vaginal rejuvenation is a trending topic in women’s intimate health here in Cheshire County, especially for those prioritizing self-care in the new year. So what is it, and how does it help?


Modern, non-surgical vaginal rejuvenation treatments—including the advanced Phoenix CO2 and NeoGenPSR technologies offered at Better You Beauty Medspa—focus on naturally rejuvenating the vaginal tissue, both internally and externally, without downtime or surgery.


Our dual approach includes:


  • Phoenix CO2: Restores elasticity and hydration by naturally stimulating collagen inside the vaginal canal—ideal for women with vaginal atrophy, dryness, or post-childbirth changes.
  • NeoGenPSR: Gently tightens and resurfaces external tissue, improving comfort and confidence.


Top Benefits of Vaginal Rejuvenation at Better You Beauty Medspa


Women in Swanzey choose vaginal rejuvenation for a range of reasons, from resolving pain to improving their quality of life during New Hampshire’s long winters. Here’s what you can expect:


  • Greater comfort during intimacy, reducing pain and sensitivity
  • Enhanced natural lubrication and tissue elasticity
  • Reduced risk of recurring infections from pH imbalances
  • Improved confidence in relationships and daily life
  • Non-surgical, in-office procedure with minimal downtime.


Rediscovering Intimacy and Well-being


Your well-being shouldn’t take a back seat as you balance winter activities, work, family, and holiday festivities. By addressing the root causes of pain—rather than just masking symptoms—our medical aesthetic providers help you reclaim the confidence and satisfaction you deserve, safely and holistically.
