Vaginal dryness is a painful or discomforting symptom that most women may experience at some point in their lives, affecting their quality of life. This can be as a result of a reduction in hormone levels, certain medications including anti-estrogen medications, antihistamines, and certain antidepressants; birth control pills, diabetes, ovaries removal (oophorectomy), breastfeeding, cancer treatments including chemotherapy and hormone therapy, Sjogren’s syndrome, no sexual arousal, or the use of perfumed/scented soaps, washes, and sprays around or in the vagina. Commonly, vaginal dryness is a symptom of perimenopause, menopause, or post-menopause. Read on to know more about vaginal issues and vaginal dryness treatment in our latest Outlook blog.
