What is vaginal dryness?

What causes vaginal dryness and what can be done about it? Many physical and psychological factors influence the presence orabsence of lubrication in the vagina.


Intimate dryness can be caused by a variety of factors, such as hormonal upheaval following childbirth, menopause or a change of pill.


Stress, alcohol and tobacco consumption, certain drugs, fatigue, contraception and/or repeated genital infections can also cause vaginal dryness.

During intercourse, lubrication of the vagina by the Bartholin's glands or major vestibular glands moistens the vagina and thus facilitates penile penetration.

When this lubrication is insufficient, penetration becomes unpleasant or even very painful, and can thus become an obstacle to orgasm. Without intimate lubrication, intercourse can lead to overheating, burning and lesions.

Is it a disease?


There are many causes of vaginal dryness:
  • Menopause, the most common cause, partly due to lack of lubrication, according to the CNGOF (French National College of Gynecologists and Obstetricians)

  • Stress, anxiety, mental workload

  • Certain medications

  • Post-partum

  • Hormonal changes

  • Poor lifestyle habits, especially excessivealcohol and tobacco consumption

  • Problems of trust, relationship and communication within the couple


Lack of lubrication doesn't mean lack of desire- quite the contrary.
That's where lubricant and foreplay, massage, masturbation and little touchescome in. They'll help boost sexual desire and make intercourse easier afterwards.

If this symptom persists despite our advice following this article, don't hesitate to consult a sexologist, gynecologist or midwife.

Our tips for dealing with it


We've put together a list of simple things you can do to combat intimate dryness:
  • Check for genital infection


If you feel vaginal discomfort, itching or scratchiness, don't hesitate to consult a gynecologist. He'll give you a diagnosis and, depending on the diagnosis, you can choose to treat the problem with a natural treatment or with the medication recommended by your doctor.
  • Using a natural treatment


There are natural products available to treat vaginal dryness, such as aloe vera, which provides deep moisturizing, and natural plant oils like coconut, sweet almond and evening primrose. Natural treatments take longer and are less effective than drug treatments, but be patient.
  • Use an ovule-type treatment


Gynecologists tend to prescribe ova for dryness and/or fungal infections. These will moisturize the vagina and heal wounds on the vaginal mucosa. It's advisable to take the treatment in the evening, as the ovule is inserted into the vagina and then melts. This may stain your underwear.
  • Intimate hydration with lubricant


The key to curing vaginal dryness is to moisturize the vagina. Lubricant is a must, because during intercourse, friction can aggravate your vaginal dryness.
