How does the vagina stay lubricated?
Your vagina has a natural lubrication system that supports sexual health, comfort, and overall vaginal wellness. Lubrication comes from two main areas:
- Cervical glands – These produce moisture that protects the vaginal tissue, flushes out dead cells, and keeps the area clean.
- Bartholin’s glands – Located at the vaginal opening, these glands produce extra moisture to make sexual activity more comfortable.
This natural system helps maintain vaginal health throughout your life.
What causes vaginal dryness?
Menopause is one of the most common causes, as declining estrogen levels reduce natural
lubrication and can lead to thinning of vaginal tissues.
Other factors can also contribute, including:
- Certain medications, such as decongestants
- Chemotherapy treatments
- Vaginal sprays or douches that irritate tissue
- Insufficient arousal or foreplay
How is vaginal dryness treated?
Dr. Ahdoot offers advanced treatments to improve vaginal health and comfort. Options include:
- FemTouch™ laser therapy – Stimulates tissue regeneration, promotes collagen production, and increases elasticity
- Hormone replacement therapy – Supports vaginal and overall sexual health
- Topical estrogen creams – Replenishes moisture and strengthens tissue
- Lifestyle adjustments – Avoiding harsh cleaning products and using lubricants as needed
- Open communication with your partner can also help enhance natural lubrication, especially as hormone levels change with age.
Whatever the cause of vaginal dryness, early evaluation and treatment can improve comfort, sexual health, and quality of life.
If vaginal dryness is affecting you, call Dr. Ahdoot’s office or schedule a consultation online for expert care.
