VAGINAL DRYNESS AND SOLUTIONS.

Vaginal dryness is common symptom of menopause -- and close to one out of every three women deals with it while going through "the change."

It becomes even more common afterward.

Vaginal dryness is a common symptom during and after menopause, but it can happen at any age and for various reasons

Vaginal dryness is a common problem, but many people do not seek help, as they may not realize it is a health issue for which they can get help.


CAUSES

1. Vaginal dryness usually results from a drop in estrogen levels.

Estrogen levels can drop for various reasons including:

1. Menopause
2. Surgical removal of the ovaries (which can trigger menopause)
3. Childbirth and breastfeeding
4. Treatments for cancer, including chemotherapy and radiation
5. Anti-estrogen drugs for treating breast cancer or endometriosis

Other causes of vaginal dryness can include:

1. Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that involves inflammation of the salivary and tear glands.
2. Using antihistamines, which help manage cold and allergy symptoms by drying secretions. Side effects can include vaginal dryness and trouble urinating.
3. Antidepressants, which sometimes have sexual side effects such as vaginal dryness, decreased libido, and difficulty having an orgasm.
4. Stress and anxiety, which can affect libido and vaginal lubrication.
5. Reduced blood supply to the vagina.
6. Flammer syndrome, in which blood vessels react in an unusual way to stimuli such as cold and stress.

*Note*
Females who smoke may experience menopause earlier than those who do not, and so vaginal dryness may occur at an earlier age in this group.

Douching and Other Irritants Certain soaps, lotions, perfumes, and douches can disrupt the natural balance of chemicals in your vagina, leading to dryness


SYMPTOMS

People with vaginal dryness may experience:

1. Vaginal itching.
2. Burning.
3. Irritation.
4. Pain during sex.
5. Discomfort during physical activity.
6. A higher risk of vaginal infections and urinary tract infections.


If the dryness is due to a fall in estrogen levels, they may also have:

1. Lower levels of natural vaginal secretions.
2. A tightening of the vaginal opening.
3. A narrowing of the vagina.

TREATMENT OF VAGINAL DRYNESS

Various treatment options are available for vaginal dryness. Some are available over-the-counter, while others need a prescription.

1. Topical estrogen cream.( Example: Vaginal ring Vaginal cream, Vaginal tablet)

2. Over-the-counter treatments
Over-the-counter treatments may help with vaginal dryness.

For example, a person can use lubricants at the time of intercourse to increase moisture. Water-based lubricants may be preferable to oil-based lubricants, as oil-based ones can lead to irritation and condom breakage.

Use vaginal moisturizers every 1 to 2 days to help maintain the vagina’s natural moisture.

3. Regular sex.

Blood flow to the vaginal tissues increases during arousal, and this helps stimulate moisture production.

Adequate pre-intimacy and arousal before sex can help overcome vaginal dryness and make sex more enjoyable.

4. Avoid some hygienic products

Many body products and personal hygiene products contain fragrances and dyes that can irritate or dry out the vaginal tissue.

The vagina contains a delicate balance of good bacteria and is self-cleaning. There is no need for douching or using fragrant soaps around the sensitive vaginal area.

5. Phytoestrogen supplements
Phytoestrogens are compounds that act similarly to estrogen in the body. They occur in plant-based foods, including soy, nuts, and seeds.
