    Vaginal dryness is a common symptom during menopause, primarily caused by a decrease in estrogen levels. To manage it, you can start by using vaginal moisturizers, which are available over-the-counter and help hydrate the vaginal tissues. For sexual activity, water-based lubricants are a good option as they can reduce discomfort, but it’s important to avoid scented or flavored products as they may cause irritation.

    Another option to consider is low-dose vaginal estrogen, which is available in various forms such as creams, rings, or tablets. This treatment effectively restores moisture to the vaginal tissues by replenishing estrogen levels and can provide significant relief. If this is something that interests you, please discuss with your sanoMidLife Clinician or your healthcare provider.
