Pain-free laser boosts women's sex drive and improves their orgasms, scientists claim

Scientists have developed a pain-free laser that they claim can boost sex drive and improve orgasms, in news that will come as music to many women’s ears.

Researchers from Tehran University of Medical Sciences found that just five minutes of treatment with a fractional CO2 laser can improve a woman’s sex drive.

In the study, published in the Journal of Lasers in Medical Science, the researchers, led by Tahereh Eftekhar, said: “Sexual dysfunction is a complex problem in postmenopausal women with a prevalence rate of 68 - 86 %.

“This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a fractional CO2 laser or vaginal cream on the improvement of sexual function in menopausal women.”

In the study, 50 menopausal women completed questionnaires about their sex lives, before being randomly divided into two groups.

The first group was given CO2 laser therapy every month for three months, which involves using a laser to create small wounds inside the vagina, triggering collagen production and boosting blood flow.

And the second group applied the vaginal cream Premarin three nights a week for three months. This cream is designed to help rebuild vaginal tissue and make intercourse more comfortable.

The results revealed that women who received the laser therapy saw bigger improvements in sex drive than those using the cream.

The researchers explained: “The effects of the laser treatment was greater than the Premarin group with respect to improvement in sexual desire, orgasms, sexual satisfaction, less pain during sexual relations, and overall sexual function.”

According to the NHS, a loss of libido is a common problem that affects many men and women at some point in their life.

It explained: “It's often linked to relationship issues, stress or tiredness, but can be a sign of an underlying medical problem, such as reduced hormone levels.

“Everyone's sex drive is different and there's no such thing as a "normal" libido. But if you find your lack of desire for sex is distressing or it's affecting your relationship, it's a good idea to get help.”
