how do you treat vaginal dryness?

Answer 1

If you're uncomfortable from vaginal dryness, self-care measures can help:

Lubricants and moisturizers
If vaginal dryness makes sexual intercourse uncomfortable, try an over-the-counter product such as:

Lubricants (Astroglide, K-Y). Water-based lubricants like these lubricate your vagina for several hours. Apply the lubricant to your vaginal opening or to your partner's penis before intercourse.
Moisturizers (Replens, Lubrin). Vaginal moisturizers help moisturize your vagina and last longer than lubricants do; they may decrease dryness for up to three days with a single application.
Occasional vaginal dryness during intercourse may mean that you aren't sufficiently aroused. Make time to be intimate with your partner and allow your body to become adequately aroused and lubricated. It may help to talk with your partner about what feels good. Having intercourse regularly also may help promote better vaginal lubrication.

Avoid certain products
Though you may be willing to try just about anything to relieve your discomfort, avoid using the following products to treat vaginal dryness, because they may irritate your vagina:

Vinegar, yogurt or other douches
Hand lotions
Soaps
Bubble baths


You can use the following treatments:

Vaginal estrogen therapy
If vaginal dryness is due to a lack of adequate estrogen and if self-care measures don't correct the problem, vaginal estrogen therapy may be helpful. Vaginal estrogen therapy comes in several forms:

Vaginal estrogen cream (Estrace, Premarin, others). You insert this cream directly into your vagina with an applicator, usually at bedtime. Your doctor will let you know how much cream to use and how often to insert it, generally two or three times a week.

Vaginal estrogen ring (Estring). A soft, flexible ring is inserted into the upper part of the vagina by you or your doctor. The ring releases a consistent dose of estrogen while in place, and needs to be replaced about every three months.

Vaginal estrogen tablet (Vagifem).You use a disposable applicator to place a vaginal estrogen tablet in your vagina. Your doctor will let you know how often to insert the tablet, usually twice a week.
If vaginal dryness is associated with other symptoms of menopause, such as moderate or severe hot flashes, your doctor may suggest estrogen pills, patches, gel or a higher dose estrogen ring. Talk to your doctor to decide if estrogen treatment is an option and, if so, which type is best for you.

Answer 2

Vaginal dryness is a common problem for women during and after menopause, although inadequate vaginal lubrication can occur at any age. Vaginal dryness is a hallmark sign of vaginal atrophy thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to a decline in estrogen.

Answer 3

Use KY or Astroglide to improve the dryness especially during sex. Try not to use alot of harsh soaps or other vaginal remedies and stop douching so much. Hormones will cause the dryness. Happens to most of us old broads.
