The causes of vaginal dryness vary from woman to woman, but the discomfort it brings when having sex is something that is shared by those who suffer from it. Vaginal dryness is not a rare occurrence and the reasons why it happens include:
The use of harsh soaps while washing your vagina. Most of the bath soaps have alkalines that do not react well with the sensitive pH balance of your vagina.
The use of certain perfumes or other beauty products may be causing an allergic reaction that causes your vagina to become dry.
You are experiencing lower estrogen levels due to the approach of your menopausal years.
How to Avoid Vaginal Dryness
When you find that you suffer from vaginal dryness, you might want to follow a few simple rules to naturally avoid this problem as much as possible. Here are some tips you might want to try:
Do not use harsh soaps or body washes when you bathe. We are not telling you not to clean the vaginal area but to do so with the use of pH-balanced wash that is formulated to keep the natural balance of your vagina and help keep it from becoming dry.
Try to avoid the substances you may be allergic to and which may cause the dryness. Avoiding such substances may help with keeping dryness from happening if the allergic reactions to such substances don’t have a reason to start.
Consult with your doctor to pinpoint the culprit. If some dermatological problem or hormonal problem is to blame for the dryness, your doctor can prescribe medication or solutions to improve the dryness you may be experiencing.
Treatments for the Dryness
If prevention or avoidance does not work to help restore the natural moisture of your vagina, then it may be time to ask some help from other avenues:
Lubricants. This is often the first thing that people who suffer from vaginal dryness turn to when it comes to finding a solution to this problem. If this is your option for avoiding vaginal dryness, opt for lubricants that are water based or those that do not have harsh chemicals. You might find that some lubricants have spermicides that may cause irritation and more dryness. Try and find the kind of lubricant that is nearest to the composition of your natural vaginal moisture.
Vaginal Moisturizer. There are moisturizers for your face and there are moisturizers for other parts of your body. You may want to try vaginal moisturizers to treat your vaginal dryness problem. While a temporary solution, you can use this to help ease the discomfort of vaginal dryness. Apply the moisturizer to the inside of your vagina with the use of an applicator that resembles a tampon.
Hormone Therapy. Pre-menopausal women may need boosts in estrogen to help return the natural moisture of their vagina. You will need to consult with your gynecologist on which method will best suit you. There are pills, creams, and other hormone treatments that you can use to help treat this problem.
