A member asked:

Can eating excessive amounts of corn starch during pregnancy cause vaginal dryness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

NO: There is no direct correlation between corn starch and dryness; however, the bigger question is why you are ingesting corn starch: this condition may be pica and requires immediate medical and psychological evaluation.
