Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is a condition where the tissues of the vagina lack sufficient moisture, leading to discomfort, irritation, or pain, particularly during sexual activity. It can be caused by various factors, including hormonal changes (like menopause), certain medications, stress, or health conditions. This dryness can affect any woman at different stages of life. Treatments may include the use of lubricants during sexual activity, vaginal moisturizers, or hormonal therapies, depending on the cause and severity. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if vaginal dryness is affecting quality of life or relationships.
