What to do if your vagina is dry during sex

There are many types of vulvar dryness during sexual intercourse. The first type is caused by inflammation, which usually occurs in young women, such as bacterial infection, Trichomonas infection, and Gardnerella, Gardnerella-positive infection, etc. Another condition is vaginal atrophy in the elderly. The mucosa in the vagina becomes soft and is also prone to infection. This is called atrophic vaginitis. This condition can be treated with growth hormone, local application of estrogen, ensuring the repair of the mucosa, and laser surgery.

Vaginal dryness in women indicates that women have less secretions. Under normal circumstances, it is common in menopausal women because of ovarian failure, low estrogen levels in the body, and decreased secretion of vaginal glands. If vaginal dryness occurs in a younger woman, such as a woman under 40 years old, it may be caused by gynecological inflammation, such as mild vaginitis, or it may be due to low estrogen levels in the body. It is recommended to do six sex hormone tests on the third day of menstruation and give corresponding treatment measures based on the results.

If the vagina is dry during sex, it is easy to cause difficulties in sex. You should pay attention to doing more foreplay. The sexual desire of women can increase female secretions, which plays a role in vaginal lubrication during sex.

Women with vaginal dryness during menopause can use therapeutic drugs to supplement growth hormone, and lubricants can also be used to alleviate symptoms. The decrease in female hormones during menopause is more obvious in women. As the level of female hormones gradually decreases, it may cause shrinkage of the vagina and private mucosa, decrease in glycogen, decrease in secretion, weakened elasticity of the vagina, and cause pain during sexual intercourse. At this time, a full body examination can be done. If the patient does not have symptoms of growth hormone dependence, estrogen supplementation treatment can be used, or estrogen ointment can be applied externally to relieve symptoms. If it is simple sexual intercourse pain, you can also use external lubricant. Applying it before sexual intercourse can relieve the pain.
