VAGINAL DRYNESS
This condition is common in older women, but it can happen at any age.
Vaginal dryness occurs when the tissues of the vagina are not well lubricated and healthy.
It can occur at any age but is especially common in older women.
Vaginal dryness can cause pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse, which may affect your relationship with your partner.
The condition can also lead to bacterial or yeast infections.
What CAUSES Vaginal Dryness?
Low estrogen Vaginal dryness is most often caused by a decrease in estrogen levels. Estrogen is a hormone that helps keep the tissues of your vagina lubricated and healthy.
Many factors can cause a drop in estrogen levels, such as:
1.Menopause or perimenopause (a transition time before menopause)
2.Childbirth
3.Breastfeeding
4.Smoking
5.Surgery to remove the ovaries
6.Certain immune disorders
7.Cancer treatments
8.Anti-estrogen medicines
9.Douching and other irritants Certain soaps, lotions, perfumes, and douches can disrupt the natural balance of chemicals in your vagina, leading to dryness.
10.Other medicines Allergy, cold, and asthma medicines that contain antihistamines can have a drying effect on the body and contribute to reduced vaginal lubrication.
Certain antidepressants may also lead to a reduction in vaginal secretions.
11.Anxiety Stress and anxiety can affect sexual desire and may lead to vaginal dryness.
12.Sjogren's syndrome This rare autoimmune disease can cause dryness in the eyes, mouth, and vagina.
13.Low sexual desire A low libido or other sexual problems may give way to dryness, and conversely, the dryness may worsen libido.
14.Some yeast infections like vaginitis
SYMPTOMS
1.Soreness, itching, or burning of the vagina
2.Painful intercourse
3.Light bleeding after intercourse
4.Mild vaginal discharge
TREATMENT
Treatments for vaginal dryness vary depending on the cause of your condition. Treatment options include:
1.Lubricants and creams These products can help moisten the vaginal area for several hours or up to a day.
2.You can use a water-soluble vaginal lubricant during intercourse to help with dryness.
3.Estrogen Topical estrogen can alleviate symptoms of vaginal dryness. It's available as a tablet, cream, suppository, or ring that's placed directly into the vagina.
Alternative Therapies for Vaginal Dryness
Be sure to talk to your doctor before using any type of alternative treatment for vaginal dryness. You'll need to discuss the risks and benefits of the therapy.
