Question 1: What is vaginal dryness? How common do you find it in Nepal?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> Usually, women have vaginal secretion, which makes the vagina slightly moist.\u00a0\u00a0 Under the influence of the hormone estrogen, glands inside and around the vaginal area generate a smooth substance. Dryness is the discomfort that women experience when this fluid is not produced. A lack of the hormone estrogen causes this disease. This mainly occurs to those women whose menstrual periods are completed, pregnant women, and women receiving chemotherapy. Dryness can also arise as a result of mental and physical stress. Excessive use of hot water, vaginal sprays available in the market, excessive use of perfumes, cleaning with soap, and Dettol can also cause this problem.<\/p>\n

Question 2: Is there a connection between menopause and vaginal dryness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> There is a link between menopause and dryness. Menopause, commonly known as menstruation cramps, is frequent in women. Menopause occurs when the ovaries stop functioning in women. Women create vaginal fluid due to the estrogen hormone released by the ovaries. As a result, women have dry menstruation.<\/p>\n

Question 3: To what extent can vaginal dryness be complicated?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> Vaginal dryness can lead to many complex conditions. It can range from mild physical discomfort to mental stress.<\/p>\n

Question 4: What are the adverse effects of vaginal dryness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> Generally, in women, during ovulation in the middle of the month, the amount of this fluid increases in a few days, which is like the white part of a raw egg. Gradually this fluid decreases, and 2-3 days before menstruation, white water starts flowing again. Even if these quantities change, the problem must be understood. Dryness usually causes difficulty in walking, thinning, and itching of the skin of the vagina, as well as sexual issues. Dryness can cause pain during sexual intercourse and lack of sexual desire, leading to problems in marital life.<\/p>\n

Question 5: Is Vaginal Dryness Affected by Hormone Levels?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> A hormone deficiency causes dryness. The estrogen hormone generated by a woman’s ovaries causes the glands around the vagina and the glands in the vaginal skin to release fluid. As a result, this problem is seen in women whose menstrual cycle is completed, women whose ovaries have been impacted by chemotherapy, and women who use contraceptives such as three-month injections, Norplant.<\/p>\n

Question 6: What is the role of hygiene in addressing the problem of vaginal dryness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> In terms of women’s health, proper cleanliness is essential. Lactobacilli, a bacterium found in the vaginal area of women, is beneficial to the body. It protects the vagina from other pathogens by acting as a guard in the vagina. Therefore, washing with extremely hot water or soap containing a Dettol-like chemical destroys lactobacilli germs, increasing the risk of uterine and vaginal infections.<\/p>\n

Question 7: How can this be prevented? Are there any home remedies for this?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> When women urinate in the morning, they should wipe their vagina with normal water regularly and change their underwear. The habit of wiping the place of urination every time you urinate helps prevent infection of the vaginal area.<\/p>\n

Question 8: What are the different treatments for vaginal dryness?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong> Vaginal moisturizer creams can be used during sexual intercourse as vaginal dryness causes the most sexual problems. There are also estrogen hormone creams, the use of which helps a lot in dehydration. However, these treatments should only be used as directed by a doctor, as excessive use of hormone creams can cause thinning of the vaginal skin and even bleeding.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
