Vaginal dryness or loss of lubrication is a common but treatable issue and can happen at any age. Vaginal dryness can have physical or psychological causes.
It is often closely tied to levels of the hormone estrogen, which changes at various life stages. The hormone estrogen helps keep the vagina moist and maintain the thickness of the vaginal lining.
Atrophic vaginitis (vulvovaginal atrophy) is a common condition that can occur when the ovaries produce a decreased amount of estrogen, which includes the prominent symptom of vaginal dryness.
Symptoms of vaginal dryness
Women may have vaginal dryness if she:
- feels soreness or itching in and around her vagina
- feels pain or discomfort during intercourse
- needs to pee more often than usual
- keep getting urinary tract infections (UTIs)
These things may make her feel less confident and not want to have sex.
Causes of vaginal dryness
A woman can get vaginal dryness if she:
- is not aroused during sex
- is going through menopause
- is breastfeeding
- taking contraceptive pills or antidepressants
- had her womb removed (a hysterectomy)
- has taken cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy
- uses perfumed soaps, washes, or douches in and around her vagina
- have an underlying condition, such as diabetes or Sjögren’s syndrome
These things can cause a change in the hormonal levels and thus negatively affect vaginal discharge thus causing dryness.
