At Complete Healthcare for Women, we recognize the importance of addressing vaginal dryness not only for physical comfort but also for emotional well-being and overall quality of life.
Vaginal dryness typically occurs due to decreased estrogen levels, which naturally decline during menopause, after childbirth, or while breastfeeding. Other causes include hormonal imbalances, certain medications (like antihistamines and antidepressants), chemotherapy, stress, and certain medical conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders.
Common symptoms of vaginal dryness include:
Discomfort or pain during intercourse
Itching or irritation
Burning sensation
Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Light spotting or bleeding after intercourse
Vaginal dryness can significantly impact a woman’s comfort, self-esteem, and intimate relationships. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to further discomfort, ongoing pain during intercourse, and reduced quality of life.
At Complete Healthcare for Women, Dr. Richard Lorenzo and Kortney Jones ARNP offer personalized, compassionate care and effective treatments to help manage and relieve vaginal dryness, including:
Topical Estrogen Therapy: Available as creams, tablets, or rings, topical estrogen therapy restores moisture and elasticity to vaginal tissues.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT): Systemic hormone replacement therapy may be recommended for those experiencing broader menopausal symptoms alongside vaginal dryness.
Non-Hormonal Lubricants and Moisturizers: Specialized vaginal moisturizers can relieve symptoms and provide comfort, particularly for women who prefer non-hormonal options.
Lifestyle Modifications: Stress management, dietary adjustments, hydration, and regular sexual activity can all help alleviate symptoms by improving vaginal tissue health.
Advanced Therapies: In some cases, advanced treatments such as laser therapy or radiofrequency can stimulate collagen production, improving vaginal moisture and elasticity.
At Complete Healthcare for Women, your comfort and well-being are our priority. Dr. Richard Lorenzo and Kortney Jones ARNP take the time to understand your unique situation and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.
