Why do women suffer from vaginal dryness?

 The causes and symptoms dryness int he intimate are are not always openly discussed, unfortunately, and this leads to many women suffering in silence. It is important to know that dryness in the intimate area can be caused by various factors, including reduced oestrogen levels, which commonly occur during menopause. Other causes include certain medications (such as hormonal contraceptives), breastfeeding, smoking, chemotherapy, and stress.

– Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia).
– Light bleeding or spotting after intercourse.
– Increased frequency of urinary tract infections (UTIs) or urinary incontinence.
– Vaginal irritation or redness.

How does vaginal dryness affect sexual health?

Well, it can significantly impact a woman’s sexual health and quality of life, potentially leading to a decreased libido, discomfort or pain during intercourse, and difficulty achieving orgasm.

What treaments are availble for vaginal dryness?

Fortunately, several treatment options are available to manage and alleviate the symptoms. These include:

– Over-the-counter vaginal moisturisers and lubricants to provide temporary relief.
– Prescription oestrogen therapy as part of a Hormone Replacement Therapy plan
– Non-hormonal therapies like vaginal laser treatments or Votiva radiofrequency therapy.
– Injectable treatments with Desirial.
