The secret to never having a dry vagina again
We never know the worth of water till the well is dry. T. Fuller
Introduction: what is vaginal dryness?
Women are particularly susceptible to the drying process. As they age, their mucous membranes dry out, potentially causing problems such as eye, skin, and vaginal dryness. If left untreated, such issues can greatly affect an individual's quality of life.
What causes vaginal dryness?
When estrogen levels decrease, the vaginal canal becomes thinner and less flexible. The vaginal canal may also narrow and shorten. Less estrogen causes a reduction in vaginal fluid and a change in the acid balance of your vagina. The first sign of vaginal degeneration typically results in a loss of vaginal lubrication. There might also be alterations in the vaginal microbiome.
How to treat vaginal dryness
When it comes to dryness one vitamin plays a huge role. It's vitamin A from sea buckthorn’s berries and seeds. Sea buckthorn is rich in Omega 7 fatty acids and vitamin A that is found in Omega 7 help not only with vaginal dryness but also with dried eyes and skin. The supplement that I used for my perimenopausal females in my clinic is Omega 7 Sea Buckthorn Oil by Pharma Nord available at Amazon.
If you decide to try Omega 7 by Pharma Nord, it's important to know how to take it.
The directions are:
For the first two weeks take 2 capsules twice a day. In total 4 capsules a day.
Thereafter: 1 capsule twice a day. In total 2 capsules a day. The supplement has to be taken with food.
Omega 7 by Pharma Nord is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is clear that vaginal dryness is a problem for many women and that omega 7 can help to alleviate some of the symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if omega 7 is right for you. Additionally, there are other treatments available for vaginal dryness and it is important to explore all options to find what works best for you.
