Patient's question:
，，Age

Duration of current illness: More than half a year
Current general condition: Menopausal, experiencing vaginal dryness. Please advise on the cause and treatment. Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
1, Insufficient sexual arousal.Women may have sexual impulses but fail to reach the necessary level, or if their partner immediately "goes straight to the point," it can lead to reduced fluid secretion in the vagina, resulting in vaginal dryness.
2, Birth control pills
For some individuals, long-term regular use of birth control pills may cause vaginal dryness as a side effect of the progesterone in the medication, making sexual life lack vitality.
3, Psychological stress
Work and life stress can lead to low libido, delayed sexual arousal, and vaginal dryness.
4, Endocrine disorders
Women over 35 who frequently experience irregular menstruation for a period of time may have endocrine disorders, which can also lead to reduced vaginal secretion.
5, Vaginitis
If a woman has vaginitis, the vaginal mucosa may become congested during intercourse, leading to reduced secretion.
6, Lack of sexual desire
Long-term, repeated vaginal dryness can cause psychological aversion to sex and the loss of pleasure.
7, Unbalanced diet
In addition to vaginal dryness, if a woman also has symptoms such as inflamed corners of the mouth, dry skin, and flaking, it may indicate an unbalanced diet, particularly a lack of vitamin B2. This condition can lead to dry vaginal walls, congested mucosa, and even ulcers.
8, Over-cleaning
Many women believe that leukorrhea is dirty and frequently perform deep vaginal. However, such over-cleaning prevents the vagina from retaining the necessary secretions and beneficial bacteria, resulting in vaginal dryness.
