Vaginal Dryness & Laxity

Vaginal Dryness & Laxity occurs when the tissues of the vagina are not well lubricated, resulting in pain and discomfort. This can be caused by aging, hormonal changes, childbirth, breastfeeding, medication, surgery or stress. The most common cause of VDL is due to low estrogen levels. 

VDL is commonly ignored or left alone, leading to poor intimate satisfaction, intimate discomfort if the vulva is inflamed and sore which could lead to vaginal infections, and lower success in fertility and childbirth.

Common symptoms include painful intercourse, soreness, bacteria and yeast infections, light bleeding after intercourse and low sexual desire. Treatment starts with improving the circulation of the pelvic floor and relaxing the pelvic floor muscle group. Using medical technology for non-invasive and natural treatment for VDL starts with improving circulation around the pelvic floor region and stimulating the pelvic floor muscles.

Other treatments for VDL due to low estrogen levels is estrogen therapy to replace the hormones the body is no longer producing in the form of creams, patches or hormonal pills. Consuming foods rich in soy, flaxseed and Vitamin E may help restore estrogen to your system, which in turn will increase vaginal moisture.
