Menopause is the stage in a woman’s life that is most closely related to vaginal dryness, since it is at this time that the ovaries gradually and definitively stop producing estrogens, the female sex hormones that lubricate the walls of the vagina.
Between 40 and 60% of postmenopausal women suffer from symptoms related to this disorder.
How can vaginal dryness be eliminated?
Regular use of moisturizing and lubricating gels and creams relieves the discomfort caused by dryness. Dietary supplements containing isoflavones, such as cherries, oranges and grapes, also help to improve dryness.
The most innovative treatment today is laser therapy, a safe, fast and effective procedure that stimulates the formation of collagen through heat, increasing the lubrication and tone of the vaginal walls.
Aesthetic medicine specialists indicate that the non-invasive laser therapy (which usually takes 2 to 4 sessions) is performed on an outpatient basis, in a few minutes and allows an immediate return to normal activity.
