Vaginal Dryness & Pain: Understanding Causes and Finding Relief
Vaginal dryness and pain during intimacy are common issues that many women experience, yet they often go unspoken. At Evolve Medical, we understand how these concerns can affect confidence, relationships, and overall quality of life. Our goal is to provide compassionate, effective solutions tailored to your needs.
What is Vaginal Dryness?
Vaginal dryness occurs when the tissues of the vagina are not well-lubricated, often leading to discomfort, irritation, or pain during sexual activity. While it’s more common during and after menopause, it can affect women of all ages.
Common Causes
Several factors can contribute to vaginal dryness and painful intimacy, including:
-
Hormonal changes – Especially reduced estrogen levels during menopause, postpartum, or while breastfeeding.
-
Medications – Certain allergy medications, antidepressants, and hormonal treatments.
-
Medical conditions – Autoimmune disorders, diabetes, or other chronic health issues.
-
Stress and anxiety – Emotional factors that affect sexual desire and response.
-
Lifestyle factors – Smoking, dehydration, or lack of sexual activity.
Symptoms
You may be experiencing vaginal dryness if you notice:
-
Discomfort or itching in the vaginal area
-
Pain during intercourse (dyspareunia)
-
Light bleeding after intimacy
-
Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Why It Matters
Vaginal dryness is more than just a physical discomfort—it can impact self-esteem, emotional well-being, and intimacy with your partner. It may also be a sign of hormonal imbalance or other health conditions that should be addressed.
