What is vaginal dryness ?
Vaginal dryness typically leads to a sexual discomfort that is hard to articulate. Many women devalue themselves for this reason. Whether it is caused by menopause, the aftermath of heavy treatment due to illness, or temporary dryness, dry vaginal walls can be unbearable. 25% of premenopausal women experience this condition.
Vaginal dryness is a disruption of the vaginal flora and the lubricating glands. This results in a lack of hydration of the vaginal mucosa. The uterine lining changes and loses its ability to lubricate and self-clean. Daily natural solutions can help, such as adjusting intimate hygiene, wearing underwear made of natural fibres, using hyaluronic acid suppositories, taking borage oil orally, or consuming more fatty fish, avocados, or nuts. The injection of hyaluronic acid will also be particularly beneficial.
Why choose hyaluronic acid injection ?
Hyaluronic acid is a plumping molecule naturally present in our bodies. It helps to maintain a good level of hydration in the skin. Additionally, each decade, we lose 6% of our hyaluronic acid reserves. It serves as a comprehensive solution to relieve intimate dryness, combat the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, or address dryness that occurs after an illness.
The function of hyaluronic acid is similar to that of a sponge, as it retains water within body tissues. With age, the natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to reduced hydration in both the skin and mucous membranes. The vaginal walls are also affected during menopause, which causes significant changes and results in a drier vagina. In cases of intimate dryness, hyaluronic acid remains a natural and lasting solution for the vagina.
The main symptoms of dehydration include: redness and itching in the external genital area, irritation, increased susceptibility to infections, and pain during intercourse.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a painless, quick, and effective aesthetic medical technique. When injected into the submucosal tissue, the product captures water molecules through its mesh-like positioning. This helps improve the hydration of the mucosa. More supple and better nourished, it regains its lost volume. It is important to note that this is a resorbable substance, meaning its effects diminish within 6 to 12 months. While these injections do not require general anaesthesia, they must be performed in a medical office.
If vaginal dryness is affecting your quality of life, do not hesitate to discuss it with one of the doctors at the Aesthetic Centre near Paris to enhance your daily well-being and sexual comfort.
