Vaginal Atrophy and Dryness

Best treatment for Vaginal Atrophy and Dryness in Trivandrum

Vaginal dryness and itching can be noticed in almost all women who have reached the menopausal age. Intense itching as well as pain can be experienced due to the problem of vaginal dryness. But the sad fact is that well over half of women suffer from some degree of vaginal atrophy and dryness at some point in their lives, especially after menopause—and the condition can be a serious impediment to sex. Sexual acts become awful due to the dryness and pain. In addition to pain, bleeding also can occur during intercourse. Other symptoms include vaginal irritation, tenderness and itching, as well as painful urination and/or urinary incontinence.

Oral hormone replacement therapy improves vaginal lubrication…but it exacts a high price by increasing the risk for heart disease, stroke, blood clots and breast cancer.

Vaginal dryness can also occur due to bacterial and fungal infections at any age group.

So if you (or the lady you love) are experiencing problems with vaginal atrophy and dryness, you doubtless want help—without such risks. IDRP is the best alternative for curing your issues without side effects.

Management of Vaginal dryness and related issues

Pay attention to sexual needs

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. Increased foreplay and having intercourse regularly may also help promote better vaginal lubrication.

Avoid certain products

Avoid using these products to treat vaginal dryness because they may irritate your vagina:
– Vinegar, yogurt, or other douches
– Hand lotions
– Antibacterial or fragrant soaps
– Bubble baths or bath oils

Also avoid using scented or perfumed products, including toilet paper and detergents.

Aloe Vera gel

Aloe Vera is one of the effective home remedies for vaginal dryness. Aloe gel is known as a natural moisturizer. You can use Aloe Vera gel to help reduce vaginal dryness and lubricate the vagina.

Fenugreek seeds

Fenugreek seeds are an excellent herb for women’s health. They improve sexual drive and help to keep body hormones balanced. Take a teaspoon of fenugreek seeds with a little water and bring it to a boil for 15 minutes. Then drink it.

Sesame oil

Sesame oil is a natural lubricant and is another effective home remedy for vaginal dryness. Take a cotton pad and soak it with sesame oil. Apply it to the vaginal walls and continue for at least a week to cure vaginal dryness.

Cotton underwear

Wear only pure cotton undergarments. Cotton fabrics absorb sweat and also soothe the inflamed skin and mucous membranes.
