Vaginal dryness is a common condition that affects women of all ages, though it becomes especially prevalent during perimenopause and menopause. Far from just a minor inconvenience, it can cause significant discomfort and impact your intimate wellbeing. SHAE Medical Aesthetics offers effective, evidence-based solutions to restore your comfort and confidence.
What Causes Vaginal Dryness?
- Declining estrogen levels — during perimenopause, menopause, or postpartum
- Certain medications — including antihistamines, antidepressants, and some birth control pills
- Cancer treatments — such as chemotherapy or radiation
- Hormonal imbalances — related to thyroid or other conditions
- Irritants — scented soaps, douches, or detergents
- Sjögren’s syndrome — an autoimmune disorder affecting moisture-producing glands
Symptoms
- Itching, burning, or irritation in the vaginal area
- Pain or discomfort during intercourse (dyspareunia)
- Increased urinary frequency or urgency
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
Treatment Options
SHAE Medical Aesthetics offers a range of treatments tailored to your needs and health history, including:
- Topical estrogen therapy (cream, ring, or tablet)
- Vaginal moisturizers and lubricants
- Systemic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) when appropriate
- Ospemifene (a non-estrogen oral medication)
