Menopause and vaginal dryness: How AH! YES can help!
Caused by a natural change in estrogen levels, vaginal dryness affects up to 80% of people going through menopause, as well as around 50% of those who are post-menopausal (1).
Estrogen helps to maintain the lubrication, elasticity, and suppleness of the vagina. But, during menopause, hormonal changes and the natural decline of estrogen can affect the production of lubrication, resulting in vaginal dryness that is often sore, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful.
If you feel discomfort during sexual intercourse, feel sore in or around your vagina, or feel you need to urinate more frequently, you may be experiencing symptoms of vaginal dryness. It can also cause symptoms such as burning and itching, and an increase in UTIs.
But you don’t need to suffer. There are many ways and remedies to treat menopausal vaginal dryness and relieve unpleasant symptoms, such as using non-hormonal lubricants and moisturizers. For more severe symptoms of dryness, often referred to as vaginal atrophy, it may be necessary to try vaginal estrogen which is available in a number of different applications including creams and pessaries.
Vaginal moisturizers gently replenish moisture levels, providing relief for vaginal dryness and improving vaginal comfort. The entire AH! YES range is made without glycerin, parabens and hormones.
