Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is a medical condition where the lining of the vagina becomes thinner, less elastic and lacks natural moisture. This lack of lubrication is medically known as vaginal atrophy or atrophic vaginitis and frequently occurs when the body produces less oestrogen. It is a very common issue that can affect people at various stages of life, impacting daily comfort and physical wellbeing.

Common symptoms of vaginal dryness include a persistent feeling of soreness, itching around the intimate area, and pain or light bleeding during sex. Because every person is different, symptoms can vary from mild irritation to significant discomfort that affects your quality of life. Understanding the causes and recognising the signs is the first step toward finding relief.

• Common Causes: Menopause, perimenopause, childbirth, breastfeeding, certain contraceptive pills and some cancer treatments.
• Common Symptoms: Burning sensations, urinary urgency, and discomfort when sitting or exercising.
• Treatment Options: Management usually involves hormone replacement therapies (HRT), localised oestrogen, or non-hormonal moisturisers and lubricants.

You should seek medical advice from a GP or pharmacist if your symptoms do not improve with over the counter options or if you experience unusual discharge or unexplained bleeding.
