It can be quite uncomfortable, with the dryness causing itching, urinary discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse.

Also known as Vaginal Atrophy, the moisture levels in the vagina are controlled by glands inside the vagina, these are responsible for maintaining the fluid balance and natural lubrication in the vagina, and keeping the vaginal walls tight and supple.

The effective levels of fluid being produced by these glands can be directly linked to the amount of Estrogen in the body, as this declines (in particular with age) the production reduces leading to dryness and the other problems associated with it.
