What are the causes and symptoms of intimate dryness during menopause?
We've seen how to relieve vaginal dryness, but where exactly does it come from? Why are we prone to these discomforts during menopause?
The main culprit is usually the drop in estrogen , the hormone responsible for maintaining the elasticity, hydration and thickness of the vaginal walls. When this level decreases, the vaginal mucous membranes become thinner, less lubricated and therefore more fragile.
This phenomenon is known as vaginal atrophy or genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GUMS). According to a study published in the journalMenopause in 2013, up to 50% of postmenopausal women suffer from this syndrome, with prevalence increasing as the postmenopausal period progresses.
The most common symptoms of intimate dryness during menopause include irritation , itching , burning , and persistent dryness that can lead to pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia). Some women even report daily discomfort, including when walking or exercising, due to the increased fragility of the skin in the intimate area. It is easy to imagine how these symptoms can affect not only physical comfort but also emotional quality of life. And that this can have an impact on self-confidence and intimacy in relationships.
