Preventing Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is a fact of life for every woman at some point. Childbirth and menopause are both big triggers of hormonal fluctuations, which can cause vaginal dryness. Medications and chemically enhanced feminine products are also big components in drying out the membranes inside your vagina. All of this dryness leads to discomfort. Everyday tasks like jogging or even walking can become irritating. Sexual intercourse can be less pleasurable or even painful. When you don’t enjoy sex, you won’t want to have sex; however, the sad reality is regular sex can actually lead to increased vaginal lubrication! Your vaginal dryness is in essence causing more vaginal dryness if it’s preventing you from taking part in satisfying love making.

Stop vaginal dryness in its tracks

The first thing to do to prevent vaginal dryness is look at how you’re taking care of yourself. Medications for allergies, or something with an antihistamine in it, can not only dry up your sinuses, but your vaginal secretions as well. There are a number of prescription medications for a variety of different medical situations that play a part in vaginal dryness. If you’re being put on a drug that may dry up your vaginal secretions, or you’re already on one, you should discuss alternatives with your doctor. Certainly you want the best medication for your condition, but that means the best for your whole body.

How you bathe or cleanse your vagina also plays a part in vaginal health. Avoid soaps with heavy perfumes as it can cause vaginal irritation and lead not only to dryness, but possibly other vaginal problems. You may feel like you are cleaner if you douche, but what you are really doing is corrupting the delicate pH balance of your vagina. The vagina is basically a self-cleaning oven. It was designed to cleanse itself on a regular basis, and there should never be a reason to clean it out or douche. When you change the pH balance of your vagina, it becomes irritated, and among other things, very dry.

Sometimes the answer to vaginal dryness can be found in the laundry room. Take a look at the soaps you are using to wash your clothes and delicate items that come closest to your vagina. As heavy perfumes in body soaps can irritate your vagina, so can the perfumes, dyes, and heavy detergents of laundry soap. It may be necessary to switch your intimate apparel wash to a laundry detergent more suited for sensitive skin.
