Hot: The New Gel Treatment That Boosts A Woman’s Sex Life After Menopause [Must Read]

A new once-daily hormone treatment has boosted the sex lives of older women.

Using VagiCap increased by a third the number of women getting sexual satisfaction, say findings from a trial.

The treatment, which is not yet available, is aimed at women who experience pain during sex and other symptoms caused by the menopause.

More than half of post-menopausal women suffer vaginal dryness that can make sex uncomfortable because of a lack of the hormone oestrogen.

The new treatment is a tear-shaped softgel capsule designed for easy insertion once a day, alleviating local symptoms.

However, the oestrogen has less effect throughout the body than hormone replacement therapy (HRT) which should lessen any side effects.

Dr Sheryl Kingsberg, chief of the Division of Behavioural Medicine Department at UH Case Medical Center in Cleveland, presented the trial at the International Society of Women's Sexual Health Annual Meeting, in Austin, Texas.

Dr Kingsberg said: 'Menopause is typically associated with hot flashes (flushes), but there are other common and distressing symptoms such as pain and discomfort during sex due to lack of oestrogen.

'Approximately 30 million women in the United States experience this condition, which can really impact their quality of life.'

She said the VagiCap, if approved by regulatory authorities, could be a treatment that women 'may find to be convenient and easy to use'.
