Vaginal dryness is a reduction in natural lubrication that can affect women at any stage of life, although it’s most common during and after menopause, particularly between the ages of 50 and 60.
It can cause soreness, itching, discomfort during intimacy, increased sensitivity, and sometimes more frequent urination or a higher risk of urinary tract infections. For many women, it can quietly impact confidence and quality of life.
The most common cause is a drop in oestrogen levels, particularly during menopause, after childbirth, or while breastfeeding. Certain medications, stress, and some medical treatments can also contribute.
When hormone levels shift, the vaginal tissue can become thinner, less elastic, and less naturally lubricated — leading to dryness and irritation.
There are simple ways to help ease symptoms day to day:
Small changes in daily care can make a noticeable difference.
