Can warming lubricants help with sensation loss?

Warming lubricants may enhance sexual pleasure for some women by increasing local blood flow and creating a warming sensation, but they do not treat underlying nerve loss.

Clinical Context

Use lubricants as directed and discontinue if irritation or discomfort occurs. Persistent sensation loss should be evaluated by a clinician.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NHS and NICE suggest lubricants for comfort but not for treating nerve dysfunction (NICE CKS).
