What is vagina dryness?

VAGINAL DRYNESS or
Atrophic vaginitis is the medical term for the condition when a number of changes occur in a woman's body that produces troublesome symptoms.

Vaginal dryness is frequently associated with menopause and the hormonal imbalance that often takes place during that transition, but it can be a problem for women at any age.

Vaginal dryness tends to be accompanied by a burning or itching sensation, painful intercourse, and increased urination.

Nearly 80% of women suffer from vaginal dryness at some point, and its causes are wide and varied. The problem can be treated once the symptoms are recognized. Lifestyle changes combined with herbal remedies are often the best way to cure vaginal dryness.

During menopause, estrogen production slows and then stops. When that happens, a number of changes -- many of them unwelcome -- happen in a woman's body. Periods become irregular and then stop. You may have hot flashes, mood swings, a deeper voice, and an increase in facial hair.

Vaginal dryness is another common symptom of menopause -- and close to one out of every three women experiences it while going through "the change." And it becomes even more common after menopause.

Note that Vaginal dryness can also occur at any age from a number of different causes. It may seem like a minor irritation. But the lack of vaginal moisture can have a huge impact on your sex life. Fortunately, several treatments are available to relieve vaginal dryness.

WHAT CAUSES VAGINAL DRYNESS?

Normally, the walls of the vagina stay lubricated with a thin layer of clear fluid. The hormone estrogen helps maintain that fluid and keeps the lining of the vagina healthy, thick, and elastic. During menopause, the drop in estrogen levels reduces the amount of moisture available. It also makes the vagina thinner and less elastic. This is called vaginal atrophy.

In addition to menopause, estrogen levels can drop from:

* Childbirth and breastfeeding
* Radiation or chemotherapy treatment for cancer
* Surgical removal of the ovaries
* Anti-estrogen medications used to treat uterine fibroids or endometriosis
* Immune disorders
* Smoking
* Certain medicines - such as those for colds and allergies - can reduce levels of moisture and trigger vaginal dryness.
* Emotional problems or medical conditions can also lead to this symptom.

OTHER CAUSES OF VAGINAL DRYNESS INCLUDE:

- Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune disorder that attacks cells in the body that produce moisture)
- Allergy and cold medications and certain antidepressants
- Douching
- Lack of enough pre-intimacy before sexual intercourse.

No matter what the cause, vaginal dryness can be extremely uncomfortable. It can lead to itching, burning, and painful intercourse.

Before the menopause (often called the change of life) the skin and tissues around your vagina are kept supple and moist by fluids and mucus. These are made by glands at the neck of your womb.

The female hormone, oestrogen, affects these glands. Oestrogen also affects your tissues in and around your vagina, causing the lining of your vagina to be thicker and more elastic. Oestrogen also stimulates the cells that line your vagina to produce glycogen.

Glycogen is a compound which encourages the presence of helpful germs (bacteria) which protect your vagina from infections.

After the menopause your ovaries make less oestrogen. The lack of oestrogen leads to thinning of the tissues around your vagina and a reduction in the number of glands that make mucus. You may also lose some fat tissue from around the genital area. This may make the area also look slightly different to how it was before the menopause.

In summary, the hormonal changes that occur during the menopause make your vagina shorter, less elastic and drier. These changes usually take months or years to develop after the menopause and vary from woman to woman.

HOW COMMON IS VAGINAL DRYNESS (atrophic vaginitis)?

After the menopause at least half of women have some symptoms related to vaginal dryness. You are also more likely to experience symptoms as more years pass after your menopause. It is probably even more common than that, as many women are embarrassed and feel they do not want to trouble their doctor with these symptoms.
