Sexuality is changing and taboos on everything related to this subject are fading more and more, proof of this is that sex toys are used and talked about more and more by both women and men. Now, a study led by Alexandra Dubinskaya has revealed that in addition to pleasure, female vibrators can be beneficial for pelvic health.
The researcher from Cedars-Sinai University (USA) has presented her work at the 117th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) in New Orleans. In this act she has stressed that the use of these devices can improve the muscle function of the pelvic floor, sexual function and can be prescribed to treat disorders such as vulvodynia, which consists of having pain, burning and itching in the external genitalia of the woman.
To reach these conclusions, the researchers took into account previous articles that focused on the use of vibrators to improve the sexual experience, the pelvic floor, urinary incontinence and vulvodynia. The results, published in The Journal of Urology, showed that these electronic devices can be accepted as a modality to improve women’s health.

Specifically, it was found that its use has a positive impact on sexual desire, satisfaction and general sexual function. In addition, the vibratory stimulation of the toys improved pelvic floor muscle strength, incontinence and vulvodynia, although the authors stress that further study is important.

“More research efforts should be directed toward investigating the usefulness of vibrators for sexual health. Considering that the use of vibrators has a positive effect on all domains of the sexual response cycle (desire, arousal and orgasm), it makes them a valuable enhancement and treatment tool when addressing certain sexual concerns”, explains Dubinskaya.
The expert also calls on urologists, gynecologists and reconstructive surgeons and female pelvic medicine, to inform themselves about the sexual health of women in relation to vibrators, as she believes that they are the ones indicated and the ones who can best educate and recommend these beneficial devices to women.
