Lubricants for menopausal sex, do you know how to use them?

When women reach menopause, their vaginas often become dry, which can seriously affect the quality of their sex life and even cause them to dislike sex. To solve this problem, women can use sex lubricants, but they must know how to use them correctly.

1. Generally, women enter menopause, and some women even experience such symptoms just after they enter their forties. For most symptoms of insufficient vaginal lubrication, experts recommend the use of personal lubricants. With the opening up of society, many people in the country have also begun to gradually accept and use lubricants. So, what kind of lubricant is best for women during menopause?

2. The incidence of insufficient vaginal lubrication is 74.8% nationwide, most of which are mild and non-pathological; 39.2% are caused by bad mood or excessive stress; 13.3% of people have insufficient lubrication due to condom discomfort; the decline in estrogen levels after childbirth and menopause can also easily lead to this problem, causing pain during sexual intercourse. For most non-pathological vaginal dryness, the use of personal lubricants is usually recommended. Not surprisingly, many couples use lubricants. It is said that currently more than 67% of couples in the United States use lubricants.

3. There are many lubricants available for use, some of which are particularly viscous. Petroleum products such as Vaseline or Abolene can make the applied surface last longer without drying out and do not need to be reapplied. They are usually applied to the female clitoris or the male penis. However, these lubricants can stain sheets, and some people don't like the feeling of applying them. Moreover, this type of lubricant cannot be used with latex products such as condoms because it will damage the latex material.

4. There are many reasons for vaginal dryness in women, which are related to psychological factors, organic diseases or drugs. Simply using lubricants can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. For vaginal dryness caused by thinning of the vaginal mucosa, lubricants can lubricate but cannot eliminate the pain after sexual intercourse. At this time, it is best to use estrogen to restore the mucosa to normal.

5. Most young women have normal estrogen levels, so lubricants should be their first choice; while estrogen should be their first choice for menopausal and post-menopausal women. Estrogen should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and lubricants should be used before sexual intercourse. Lubricants that contain antibiotics, sex hormones and other ingredients should be used with caution because they may destroy the body's natural environment and cause bacterial imbalance.
