🚦CAUSES OF VAGINAL DRYNESS AND PAINFUL INTERCOURSE

Many women experience vaginal dryness, a condition that can cause pain during intercourse, itching, or a burning sensation.

✍️ This issue is common and can be caused by several factors, including:

1️⃣ Hormonal changes (especially estrogen)
– Common during menopause, after childbirth, or while breastfeeding.

2️⃣ Certain medications
– Such as allergy medicines (antihistamines), antidepressants, or blood pressure medications.

3️⃣ Stress
– Reduces sexual desire and natural vaginal lubrication.

4️⃣ Harsh soaps or chemical products
– They disrupt the vagina’s natural balance and cause dryness.

5️⃣ Smoking & excessive alcohol consumption
– These reduce blood circulation to the genital area.

6️⃣ Insufficient arousal (foreplay)
– Leads to inadequate natural lubrication.

🏵️ Advice:

👉 Use safe lubricants during intercourse.
👉 Avoid using harsh soaps or chemicals to clean the genital area.
👉 Drink plenty of water, exercise, and reduce stress.
