Understanding Vaginal Dryness and Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)
Many women experience changes in vaginal comfort throughout different stages of life, particularly during perimenopause, menopause and after certain medical treatments. A reduction in oestrogen can affect the health of the vaginal tissues, leading to dryness, irritation and discomfort. These changes are commonly referred to as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).
GSM is a common condition that may affect everyday comfort, intimate relationships and overall quality of life. Symptoms can develop gradually and may vary from woman to woman. Although commonly associated with menopause, similar symptoms may also occur after childbirth, during breastfeeding or following treatments that affect hormone levels.
Common symptoms of GSM include:
- Persistent vaginal dryness
- Burning or irritation
- Reduced natural lubrication
- Discomfort or pain during intimacy
- Vaginal soreness or sensitivity
- Recurrent urinary symptoms, such as urgency or discomfort
Not every woman experiencing these symptoms requires the same treatment. Following a comprehensive assessment, we will discuss the most appropriate management options for your individual needs. Depending on your symptoms and clinical findings, these may include pelvic health physiotherapy, lifestyle advice, Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid treatment, Vaginal HIFU, PRP for Intimate Health or referral to your GP or menopause specialist where appropriate.
What Is Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid Treatment?
Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid treatment is a non-hormonal injectable treatment that uses hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found within the body, to improve hydration, elasticity and tissue quality of the vaginal mucosa.
At our clinic we use Desirial®, a hyaluronic acid product specifically developed for intimate health. Unlike facial dermal fillers, Desirial® is formulated to improve hydration and comfort of intimate tissues rather than adding volume alone.
Treatment may be considered for women experiencing vaginal dryness, discomfort, menopausal tissue changes or reduced vaginal hydration following childbirth or hormonal changes.
Who May Benefit from Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid Treatment?
Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid treatment may be appropriate for women experiencing symptoms that affect intimate comfort and quality of life. Following a comprehensive consultation, treatment may be considered for women with:
- Vaginal dryness
- Reduced natural lubrication
- Discomfort or pain during intimacy associated with dryness
- Symptoms of Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)
- Menopause and perimenopause-related vaginal changes
- Postpartum tissue changes
- Reduced tissue elasticity
- Persistent vaginal discomfort affecting daily life
Every woman is different. During your consultation, we will discuss your symptoms, medical history and treatment goals to determine whether Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid treatment is suitable or whether another treatment option may be more appropriate.
Potential Benefits of Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid Treatment
When clinically appropriate, Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid treatment may help:
- Improve vaginal hydration
- Support healthy vaginal tissue quality
- Reduce symptoms of vaginal dryness
- Improve comfort during everyday activities
- Support vaginal elasticity
- Enhance overall intimate comfort
- Provide a non-hormonal treatment option for suitable women
Individual results vary and treatment recommendations are always based on your symptoms, examination findings and clinical assessment.
How Does Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid Treatment Work?
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring molecule found throughout the body that helps retain moisture and supports healthy tissue function. As women age or experience hormonal changes, the natural levels of hyaluronic acid within vaginal tissues may reduce, contributing to dryness and discomfort.
Desirial® Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid is carefully injected into specific areas of the vaginal tissues to improve hydration and support tissue quality. The treatment is designed to restore moisture and improve comfort while maintaining the natural characteristics of the tissue.
Unlike hormonal treatments, Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid contains no hormones and may be considered for women seeking a non-hormonal option, following an individual clinical assessment.
Why We Use Desirial®
At SU Women's Health Physiotherapy & Wellness Clinic, we use Desirial®, a hyaluronic acid product specifically developed for intimate health. Unlike conventional dermal fillers designed for facial treatments, Desirial® has been formulated for use in the vulvovaginal tissues to support hydration, comfort and tissue quality.
Our choice of product is based on quality, safety and suitability for intimate health treatments. Every recommendation is made following an individual consultation, ensuring that treatment is appropriate for your symptoms, expectations and overall health.
As Women's Health Physiotherapists, we believe treatment should always be part of a comprehensive assessment rather than simply performing a procedure. Our focus is on identifying the underlying cause of your symptoms and recommending the most appropriate management plan for you.
What Happens During Your Appointment?
Your appointment begins with a detailed consultation with a Women's Health Physiotherapist. We will discuss your symptoms, medical history, previous treatments and your goals to determine whether Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid treatment is appropriate for you.
If suitable, the procedure is performed in a private clinical setting using Desirial®. The treatment typically takes around 30–45 minutes, and most women are able to return home shortly afterwards.

Is Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid Right for Me?
Not every woman experiencing intimate symptoms requires Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid treatment. At SU Women's Health Physiotherapy & Wellness Clinic, we believe the first step is understanding the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Following a comprehensive consultation, we will discuss whether Vaginal Hyaluronic Acid is appropriate or whether another treatment may better meet your needs. In some cases, pelvic health physiotherapy, lifestyle advice, vaginal HIFU, PRP for Intimate Health, or referral to your GP or menopause specialist may be more suitable.
Our aim is to provide honest, evidence-informed recommendations based on your individual circumstances rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.

Why Choose a Women's Health Physiotherapist for Intimate Health Treatment?
Intimate health concerns are often influenced by more than one factor. Hormonal changes, pelvic floor function, childbirth, previous surgery, menopause and musculoskeletal health can all contribute to symptoms such as vaginal dryness, discomfort and reduced quality of life.
As a Women's Health Physiotherapist, our approach goes beyond the treatment itself. We assess the wider picture to understand the underlying cause of your symptoms before recommending the most appropriate management plan. This may include education, pelvic health physiotherapy, lifestyle advice, rehabilitation or advanced intimate health treatments where clinically appropriate.
Our goal is to provide safe, evidence-informed care that supports your long-term health and wellbeing, ensuring that every treatment forms part of a personalised plan rather than simply addressing symptoms in isolation.
