Vaginal Atrophy
Lubricants & moisturizers to relieve vaginal atrophy
Vaginal atrophy – or atrophic vaginitis – is the thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls. Its symptoms include vaginal dryness, itching, burning and irritation.
The condition is caused by a decline in the hormone estrogen and affects many women during and after the menopause. It can occur at any age, for example after childbirth, when using contraceptives, during treatment for cancer, and with other conditions that affect hormone levels.
Vaginal atrophy can cause deep emotional distress because it affects sexual intimacy and causes physical discomfort and pain.
