There is no specific age at which women develop Vaginal Dryness. Around 17% to 20% of women have this problem from the young age of 18. As they get older this percentage increases to 34% and amongst post-menopausal women it increases to nearly 54%.

Vaginal Dryness is pretty common among women and there are many reasons for it. YOU are definitely not one of them.

The most common cause for Vaginal Dryness is a decrease in Estrogen Levels. Estrogen is a hormone that helps keep vaginal tissue healthy by maintaining normal vaginal lubrication, tissue elasticity and acidity. Other causes are

1. Menopause or perimenopause
2. Childbirth
3. Breastfeeding
4. Smoking
5. Surgical removal of the Ovaries
6. Chemotherapy and radiation in the pelvic area
7. Anti-estrogen medication
8. Cancer therapy
9. Depression & Stress
10. Certain soaps, lotions, perfumes and douches can disrupt the natural balance of chemicals in your vagina, leading to dryness
11. In rare cases, some allergy, cold and asthma medicines that contain antihistamines can have a drying effect
12. Certain anti-depressants
13. Sjogren’s Syndrome: This is an autoimmune disease that can cause dryness in the mouth, eyes and vagina

Vaginal Dryness occurs when the tissues of the vagina are not well lubricated and healthy. It can occur at any age but is more common in older women. Symptoms and warning signs are

1. Pain or discomfort during penetrative sexual intercourse
2. Uncomfortable feeling through the day
3. Light bleeding after intercourse
4. Soreness, itching or burning of the vagina
5. Changes in the appearance of the Vulva
6. Changes in vaginal discharge – becoming more watery, discoloured and slightly smelly

Using a lubricant is one of the safest ways to over come Vaginal Dryness. Lubricants come in various flavours and is the most common solution to the problem.

There are 3 different kinds of lubricants

WATER BASED LUBRICANTS: These are the most common and one of the safest to use. They are edible, easy to use and not messy.

OIL BASED LUBRICANTS: They are usually edible and are safe to use but are messy. Synthetic oil based lubricants, such as mineral oil and petroleum jelly, can work well but may also irritate the vulva.

SILICON BASED LUBRICANTS: These are a good option for people with a severe problem. However, they are not safe to use with silicone sex toys and can be extremely greasy and messy.

Vaginal Dryness is when the tissues in the vagina are dry, thin and not well-moisturized. This leads to discomfort especially during sex. It can occur at any age and is most common among women during or after menopause when estrogen levels decline.

We recommend that all men use a Lubricant. And trust us when we say, your partner will thank you for it. Sometimes a woman’s body needs additional lubrication, this has nothing to do with how good you are in bed so guys please don’t blame yourself. There can be a number of reasons for her drying up.
