Are you suffering from the
discomforts of having a dry vagina? Some women tend to argue over
which they believe to be the worst condition – having a wet vagina
or one that is dry. Vaginal dryness is not a problem to be
concerned over health wise, as it is not a life threatening issue;
however some women suffering from a dry vagina think it is the end
of the world for them. Vaginal dryness is treatable and curable if
you use the right treatment or method to ease the discomforts.
Women tend to try and treat their own vaginal dryness just to avoid
any embarrassment of having to discuss matters concerning their
private parts. Let us get it clear this is not a condition you
should be ashamed about. A dry vagina can cause vaginal itchiness
and a burning feeling. It`s also a condition that gives reason for
women to avoid having sexual intercourse. The vagina produces a
lucid, fairly odorless vaginal lubrication that allows penis
penetration without pain. The amount of lubricant produced by each
woman will differ greatly and is influenced by a number of
different issues.

Vaginal dryness is a direct
result of lower estrogen levels that we see during menopause. When
estrogen levels lower, vaginal tissue naturally thins, becoming
less stretchy, drier and frailer. Aside from vaginal dryness, going
through the change can be a traumatic time for women. Hot flushes
and night sweats are a couple of menopause symptoms which can only
be explained as cruel. Women have said they would have baby after
baby before that of having to endure the symptoms that come with
the change of life.
A drop in estrogen levels can be the result of:
• Menopause
• Hysterectomy
• Menstrual cycle changes
• Pregnancy
• Childbirth
• Hormonal contraceptives
• Endometriosis
• Anxiety, fatigue
• Exertion
• Infertility drugs

Don`t use products which may
increase dryness or irritate tender vaginal tissue - soaps,
detergents, bubble bath, douches, sprays and allergens are namely
ones to avoid if they contain harsh ingredients. Kegel exercises
help because they can increase circulation to the pelvic region
which in return helps strengthen vaginal tissue.
While lubricants are good for occasional vaginal dryness while
having sex, specially formulated moisturizing creams for the vagina
will improve the health of vaginal tissues. Some formulas that
consist of ingredients, namely phytoestrogens - are recognized for
their ability to naturally refill waning estrogen levels.
Flaxseeds are high phytoestrogens, flax helps control can hot
flushes, breast tenderness and pain. Its high omega-3 fatty acids
is great for helping fight heart disease, arthritis and balancing
hormones, which results in lightening vaginal dryness episodes.
B-vitamins help vaginal dryness and vitamin E is also. Vitamin A
can help retain elasticity and the mucous membranes. Although we
believe vitamins to be healthy and that exercise is good for
keeping the body in tip top condition, they can however if your
body is not ready for them can cause you serious health
problems.
Women swear by using Evening
Primrose Oil to settle the symptoms of the change as well as a way
for treating their vaginal dryness. If you have a dry vagina and
you are worried about it where you are becoming severely stressed
over it then this is not good go and talk to your GP. You may be
worrying yourself silly over something that can be easily remedied
with treatment. If you choose not to talk about your concern with
your doctor then I am afraid that the symptoms of vaginal dryness
may well have to be
endured. |
