Vaginal dryness is not an easy topic to discuss. Diminishing estrogen levels are usually the main culprit because it is estrogen that produces a layer of moisture that keeps the vaginal tissues healthy and elastic. If there is not enough estrogen as a result of menopause, hormonal changes, or health issues, you may experience vaginal dryness.
You may be experiencing mild irritation, itching or burning and even pain with intercourse. Your tissues can even become brittle, causing light spotting or bleeding which are all symptoms of vaginal dryness.
What is the answer to vaginal dryness?
First, discuss your symptoms with your doctor and consider using some form of estrogen therapy to treat your vaginal dryness.
Secondly, try a vaginal moisturizer like our favorite Genneve Intimate Moisture and use a personal lubricant like Genneve Personal Lubricant.
Stay away from products that can be irritating to the vagina like soaps, detergents, powders, lotions, and perfumes. The Genneve Body Wash is a great option for your cleansing needs.
Be kind to yourself,
