Rectal dilators are a useful tool to address painful pelvic floor issues such as levator ani syndrome, spasms of muscles around the anus, pelvic pain, proctalgia fugax, functional constipation, and stenosis of the anus or rectum following surgery or certain cancer treatments.
These issues can affect people of all sexes and genders. While these conditions result in pain and can bring emotional distress and impact relationships, the good news is that they are fixable. Rectal dilators are a tool often utilized in conjunction with pelvic floor physical therapy or rehabilitation to address pain and muscular issues around the anus and within the pelvic floor.
They are used to gently stretch and open the anal canal. Some symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction around the anus include:.
Muscular co-ordination issues and chronic clenching of the levator ani and puborectalis muscles of the pelvic floor can result in painful trigger points or tender points, and difficulty opening the anus and rectum. Furthermore, cancer treatments and surgeries can result in painful adhesions or scar tissue around the anus creating difficulty opening the anus.
Intimate Rose Dilators are smooth medical grade silicone cylinder shaped devices that gradually increase in size. This combination of smooth silicone and gentle progression in size allow for gentle stretching and training of the pelvic floor muscles, anus, and rectum to allow for better rectal capacity. Begin each rectal dilator session by washing the rectal dilators before use with a mild soap and warm water. Pat the dilators dry with a towel. Find a comfortable position to do your rectal dilator session.
