Vaginal Atrophy Dryness in Dubai: Symptoms and Treatment

 Vaginal dryness is one of the most common symptoms and also a side effect of menopause. Women can suffer from it in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. 

The hormonal imbalance in the postmenopausal woman's body results in a lack of estrogen, an important hormone that keeps the vaginal lining elastic by keeping it moist, which promotes vaginal dryness or atrophy.

The problem of vaginal dryness may seem trivial, but it can be very difficult for your relationship with your partner. Initially, vaginal dryness causes itching or pain during or after intercourse, but escalates to scars and cuts in the vagina, making intercourse very painful.

Even if the problem doesn't get worse, the reduced desire and joy in making love is not good for a healthy relationship. Some women are not fully functional in bed. Estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women also leads to vaginal thinning, which weakens the vaginal walls and makes them susceptible to bacterial and yeast infections.

Women may experience white vaginal discharge that smells bad and is painful due to a severe yeast or bacterial infection in the vagina. 

The increasing weakness of the muscles and vaginal walls due to vaginal dryness can worsen the problem of urinary incontinence and the woman can no longer control the urge to urinate and eject a few drops when laughing, coughing or sneezing.

Treatment of Vaginal atrophy dryness 

However, there are many treatments that can solve this problem. If a premenopausal woman experiences a burning sensation in her vagina during intercourse or after sex, she can begin to take precautions to prevent further complications of vaginal dryness.

 Doctors recommend having sex more frequently to avoid vaginal dryness during menopause, to stimulate the mucus glands at the base of the uterus to produce more mucus, and to keep the vaginal walls moist and hydrated.

 The use of water-based lubricants is also recommended to avoid discomfort, which can help the male genitals move through the vagina without damaging the vaginal walls. Providing adequate water will help a lot.

When estrogen levels in your body are steadily declining and frequent sex and artificial lubricants do not relieve the dryness, many herbs can be of great help. Black cohosh, bilberry, maca, damiana, licorice, ginkgo biloba are some herbs that are used to treat menopausal vaginal dryness. 

These herbs are available as dietary supplements in capsule and powder forms, and can also be used in any convenient way in organic form. Medications should be avoided, however, as few of these herbs are very potent and their dosage should be determined by an expert before use.

 Get enough rest and sleep during menopause to avoid stress and anxiety, which is also good for relieving vaginal dryness and other menopausal symptoms.
