Following radiotherapy to the vagina, cervix or pelvis, you may experience some internal scarring (adhesions) to the surrounding areas, which can make the vagina narrower and drier.
This narrowing of the vagina can contribute to discomfort or pain at both follow up examinations and during sexual intercourse. Minimising scar tissue formation following post pelvic radiotherapy is important and this can be helped with the use of vaginal dilators1.
Amielle Care dilators are designed to help minimise the potential for formation of scar tissue. Amielle Care has been developed in conjunction with the UK National Forum of Gynaecological Oncology Nurses to help you build confidence with vaginal penetration following pelvic radiotherapy. The flat-tipped profile and incremental size progression, support a gentle and controlled approach to dilation.
