Today, there are several measures and treatments which can help relieve it and enhance intimate comfort.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is&nbsp;vulvar&nbsp;dryness during menopause&nbsp;and how can it affect daily wellbeing?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;in menopause<\/strong>&nbsp;occurs when the tissues of the vulva and vagina lose hydration and elasticity. This change is usually related to a decrease in oestrogen,<sup>2<\/sup> hormones which help keep vaginal tissues lubricated and healthy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, these changes come under the term <strong>menopausal genitourinary syndrome<\/strong>, which includes symptoms such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dexeus.com\/midlife\/en\/sintoma\/vaginal-dryness\/\">dryness<\/a><\/strong>, <strong>irritation<\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dexeus.com\/midlife\/en\/sintoma\/pain-during-sexual-intercourse\/\">pain during sexual intercourse<\/a><\/strong>.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the common symptoms of vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;during menopause and how can they be recognised early?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The symptoms of&nbsp;<strong>vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;<\/strong> at this stage may appear gradually and can vary from woman to woman. Recognising them early enables you to seek solutions which help improve intimate comfort.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the most common symptoms are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a feeling of dryness in the vulva or vagina&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>itching or irritation in the intimate area&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a burning sensation when urinating&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>slight bleeding after intercourse&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>scant vaginal discharge&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some women may also notice an increase in urinary tract infections or recurrent discomfort in the genital area.<sup>2&nbsp;<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What hormonal changes cause&nbsp;vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;during menopause?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The main factor behind&nbsp;<strong>vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;in&nbsp;menopause<\/strong>&nbsp;is the decrease in oestrogen levels. During a woman&#8217;s reproductive years, these hormones promote the production of natural vaginal secretions which keep the vaginal mucosa hydrated.<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;As a result, vaginal tissues may become thinner, drier and more sensitive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This process can also be triggered by other situations where oestrogen levels drop such as&nbsp;<strong>postpartum or during breastfeeding<\/strong>.<sup>3<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How can you tell the difference between vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;and other intimate discomfort during menopause?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although&nbsp;<strong>vulvar&nbsp;dryness<\/strong>&nbsp;is common during menopause, it is not the only cause of intimate discomfort. Some skin conditions or infections can lead to similar symptoms such as itching or irritation in the genital area.<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conditions which can be mistaken for&nbsp;<strong>vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;at this stage<\/strong> include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>vaginal infections&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>genital herpes&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>lichen sclerosus and lichen planus<sup>1<\/sup>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>So when symptoms persist or worsen, it&#8217;s advisable to seek medical advice to rule out other causes and get appropriate treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which everyday habits can aggravate&nbsp;vulvar&nbsp;dryness?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides hormonal changes, some daily habits can also make dryness or irritation in the intimate area worse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Factors which may worsen&nbsp;<strong>vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;during menopause<\/strong>&nbsp;include:<sup>1&nbsp;<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>using perfumed soaps or products in the intimate area&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>vaginal douches&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>scented detergents or hygiene products&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>underwear made of synthetic fabrics&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts often recommend using mild, fragrance-free products and wearing cotton underwear to reduce irritation and promote breathability.\u00b2 &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Simple&nbsp;tips that can relieve&nbsp;vulvar dryness<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some simple measures which can help relieve &nbsp;<strong>vulvar&nbsp;dryness&nbsp;in mild cases<\/strong>.
