Well, let's start with the basics, shall we? Vaginal dryness is a condition where there's a decrease in the normal lubricating fluids produced in the vagina. It can lead to discomfort, pain during sex (yikes!), and an increased risk of infections down there.
But why does it happen, you ask? There are a few common culprits:
As we age, our hormone levels fluctuate, and estrogen levels can drop. Estrogen is the hormone responsible for keeping the vaginal walls healthy and well-lubricated. Lower estrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness, especially during menopause.
Certain medications, like antihistamines, antidepressants, and cancer treatments, can decrease moisture production in the vagina. If you're experiencing dryness and taking any of these, it might be worth chatting with your doc about potential alternatives.
Some medical conditions, such as Sjögren's syndrome, diabetes, and endometriosis, can also contribute to vaginal dryness. It's always a good idea to get checked out if you're experiencing persistent dryness.
