What is Vaginal Dryness?
Vaginal Dryness is a common condition faced by many women and girls. Vaginal dryness is the drying out of tissues of the vagina which creates discomfort. This can happen because the walls of the vagina have become thin. This condition may lead to serious discomfort and hampering of lifestyle.
Vaginal moisture
The walls of the vagina are covered in a thin coating that is alkaline and is helpful for sperm to travel to the uterus through the vagina. Vaginal moisture also helps in maintaining vaginal health with optimum secretion levels. Vaginal moisture acts as a natural lubricant during sexual intercourse. Without moisture, the friction in the vagina can cause pain and discomfort. When natural moisture is not present or is not adequate, treatment is required. To treat your vaginal dryness use products like Vimosa soft-gelatin vaginal capsules from Abhinavayu which is one of the leading Contract manufacturers for Herbal products in India.

Causes of Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness is not a disease but the symptoms make life uncomfortable. The causes of vaginal dryness are
● Menopause
Although a natural cycle that comes after a certain age, menopause alters the balance of hormones in a woman’s body which can lead to vaginal dryness.
● Autoimmune disorders
In autoimmune disorders the body’s immune system attacks the healthy tissue of the body, which, at times, creates a problem for vaginal moisture balance.
● Stress and depression
Stress and depression lead to excessive secretion of stress hormones like cortisol and the nervous system also gets affected. This creates a distress signal for the body which can trigger vaginal dryness.
● Smoking
Smoking not only causes cancer and other lung-related disorders, but it also causes problems for the whole immune system and vaginal secretions are no exception.
● Childbirth and lactation
Both the processes are natural and so is the plummeting of estrogen postpartum. The body takes time to recover and is already weak due to huge changes. A dip in estrogen level can cause vaginal dryness.
● Treatments of aggressive diseases like cancer
Chemotherapy is a treatment that has various side effects and one of them is plummeting vaginal moisture.
