Menopause

Menopause often brings vaginal dryness

Around perimenopause and after menopause, falling oestrogen levels often bring vaginal dryness. Unlike hot flushes, it does not usually fade on its own, but daily care helps.

What it is

Menopause is the point twelve months after a woman's last period. In the years before it, called perimenopause, and after it, the body makes less oestrogen.

Lower oestrogen affects the vaginal tissue: it becomes drier, thinner and less elastic. Many women notice the change gradually.

Common signs

  • Vaginal dryness or itching
  • Burning or soreness
  • Discomfort when sitting or exercising
  • Needing to pass urine more often

What can cause it

  • Natural menopause, usually between the mid-40s and mid-50s
  • Menopause after surgery to remove the ovaries
  • Medical care that lowers oestrogen levels

Everyday care that helps

  • Use a vaginal moisturiser regularly.
  • Avoid scented products in the vaginal area.
  • Keep up regular check-ups with your doctor.
  • Ask your doctor about hormonal and non-hormonal options.

See your doctor if

Dryness on its own is common, but these need a doctor's advice:

  • Unusual discharge or a strong odour
  • Bleeding between periods or after menopause
  • Itching or burning that does not settle
  • Pain, sores or swelling
