Home Remedies for Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness is caused when the vagina is not properly lubricated. It often causes itchiness and irritation in the vaginal area. It results in painful and unsatisfactory sexual intercourse.
This mostly occurs when a woman is passing through menopause because at this stage estrogen level falls down and the vagina loses its elasticity and moisture content.
To feel the bliss and reduce the pain caused during sexual intercourse, it is very essential to cure vaginal dryness.
Try the following home remedies to cure vaginal dryness and regain moisture:
- Use a water soluble lubricant, mainly the one that is starch based.
- There are many non-toxic vaginal moisturizers available in the market that can help to provide moisture to the vagina and reduce dryness.
- Boost your intake of water as this will help to keep you hydrated.
- Check the contents of your soaps, lotions or perfumes that you use daily because many ingredients present in them may cause irritation to the mucosal tissues lining the vagina.
- You can also ask your husband to use condoms that are well lubricated.
- Consume a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet as this will balance all the hormones of your body.
- You can also try some of the recommended multi vitamins or supplements.
- Phytotherpay can also be used for reducing vaginal dryness as this method supports vaginal health at cellular level.
