What realistic expectations exist for sensation recovery?
Most women experience some improvement in vaginal sensation with appropriate treatment, but the degree of recovery depends on the underlying cause, age, and general health.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Reversible causes such as dryness, hormonal imbalance, or muscle weakness typically respond well to treatment. Nerve injuries or age-related changes may see partial, but not always complete, recovery. Setting realistic goals and maintaining open communication with your healthcare provider is essential. NHS: Vaginal dryness.
Clinical Context
Some women achieve full restoration, while others notice gradual improvement or plateau. Early intervention helps outcomes.
Evidence-Based Approaches
NHS and NICE recommend reviewing progress regularly and adjusting treatment as needed (NICE CKS).
