Is vaginal dryness a gynecological disease?

Patient's question:

Since I'm still breastfeeding, I don't know whether to see a doctor now or wait until the child is weaned and has her period.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, were you born via C-section or vaginal birth? After childbirth, the body, especially the uterus, needs a certain amount of time to fully recover, which can interfere with sexual activity. Additionally, the physical and mental stress of taking care of a child can also affect it. It is recommended to visit the hospital for a thorough examination, such as checking hormone levels, undergoing a gynecological examination, and conducting a routine vaginal discharge test, to confirm the diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment. Vaginal dryness should absolutely not be ignored, as it can lead to vaginal congestion, mucosal damage, and potentially recurring infections during intercourse.
