Question 1

i wanted to know if taking flaxseed oil supplements will help with vaginal dryness?

Accepted Answer

No: No flaxseed oil will not help.  There are other commercial and prescription products that are designed for this purpose. Water soluble gels( K-Y) are a start, and estrogen intra-vaginal products for the peri or post menopausal woman are also available  as well as  Replens.

Question 2

i'm experiencing extreme vaginal dryness my skin is cracking/bleeding. coconut oil and vitamin e oil are not working well.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal dryness : You don't say how old you are.    If post-menopausal, hormones could be a great help.      I recommend you see a gynecologist or other doctor who works a lot with women's hormonal issues.

Question 3

how can i relieve vaginal dryness?

Accepted Answer

Hormone balance: Vaginal dryness is caused by low hormones, infection, hysterectomy, or low interest.

Question 4

what lubricants treat vaginal dryness?

Accepted Answer

Two: For patients with vaginal dryness due to autoimmune conditions, i favor the use of astroglide or KY liquid. Avoid products with flavors or sensation enhancing substances.

Question 5

i was wondering what do i do about vaginal dryness?

Accepted Answer

Estrogen: Early menopausal changes can begin to occur even in your late 30s or early 40s. Since there are estrogen receptors throughout the vagina, the decrease in estrogen levels in menopause can cause changes in the vaginal lining leading to dryness, more irritation, and pain with intercourse.  Ask your doctor to check your menopausal status and/or ask him/her for some estrogen cream to use to your vagina

Question 6

i am a virgin and have vaginal dryness, is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: In view of your age. Water soluble lubricant will take care of this problem if ; when you wish to lose your virginity.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: vaginal dryness?

Accepted Answer

Lack of lubrication.: Vaginal dryness is the sensation that comes with a lack of the normal secretions and/or thinning of the skin in the vagina.  There are many causes of vaginal dryness. It may be caused by reduced estrogen levels, infection, medications, and other things.  If over the counter lubricants don't work, see your physician for more specific treatment.

Question 8

i am only 25 and experiencing vaginal dryness what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Discuss with gynecom: I would discuss with your gynecologist who will perform an exam and take cultures or biopsies if necessary and may measure hormone levels to determine if oral or topical supplementation will be beneficial.

Question 9

can acutante cause vaginal dryness?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: There are several patient reports of vaginal dryness while taking accutane, but none of the online medical resources i consulted specifically lists "vaginal dryness" as a side effect. However, since this drug can cause dry skin, dry lips, nasal dryness leading to nosebleeds, it seems likely that vaginal dryness is one of the drug's numerous side effects.

Question 10

how can i treat menopausal vaginal dryness?

Accepted Answer

Vaginal estrogen: Works very well, it is low dose and if you do not have any contraindications , it is very safe to use, the vast majority of it stays in heh vagina, and just a small amount gets into your circulation. There are 2 types of creams and 1 vaginal pill and a vaginal ring. In most of my patients i prefer using Estrace (estradiol) cream.
