Vaginal dryness is a common problem among women and can cause discomfort and pain.1 It can be treated with the help of natural remedies, such as increasing water intake and avoiding products that can irritate the vagina, like soaps.2
Allegedly, consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish is said to have an effect on vaginal dryness but no coherent study supports this information. However, one can use lubricants to reduce friction and dryness during sexual intercourse.3
Lastly, if natural remedies do not work, doctors can prescribe topical hormones or other treatments to help reduce vaginal dryness. Vaginal dryness can also be one of the signs for perimenopause, especially if you’re in your 40s.
Moreover, if you’re experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats or sleep disturbances along with vaginal dryness then you should talk to your doctor immediately. Though if you want to be sure about your hormonal status from the comfort of your home, then consider LifeCell's at-home Perimenopause test kit!
