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.
