Dry
Vagina
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

contraceptives

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.
