Patient's question:
My mom is 57 years old. Recently, she has been very irritable and not feeling well physically. Her mood is particularly bad. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me it might be menopause. Can vitamin E be used for dryness during menopause sex?Doctor's answer:
As women age, ovarian function declines, leading to a decrease in estrogen levels in the body. This may result in increased vaginal discharge, potentially causing vaginal dryness again, which often leads to pain and discomfort during intercourse. It is recommended that if you experience significant vaginal dryness, you may consider using estrogen-containing drugs under the guidance of a doctor, as they may be effective. Vitamin E may not be as effective.
