What is vaginal dryness?
Vaginal dryness generally leads to uncomfortable sexual experiences that are hard to articulate. Many women feel diminished because of this. Whether it’s due to menopause, the side effects of a serious treatment following an illness, or temporary dryness, dry vaginal walls are unbearable. 25% of pre-menopausal women experience this condition.
Vaginal dryness is a disruption of the vaginal flora and lubricating glands. This results in a lack of hydration in the vaginal mucosa. The uterine lining changes and loses its ability to lubricate and self-cleanse. Everyday natural solutions can help alleviate this issue, such as adapting intimate hygiene practices, wearing underwear made from natural fibres, using hyaluronic acid suppositories, taking oral borage oil supplements, or incorporating more fatty fish, avocados, and nuts into your diet. The injection of hyaluronic acid can also be highly beneficial.
Why choose hyaluronic acid injections?
Hyaluronic acid is a plumping molecule that is naturally present in our body. It helps maintain a good level of hydration in the skin. However, each decade, we lose 6% of our reserve of hyaluronic acid. It serves as a complete solution for relieving intimate dryness, combating the genitourinary syndrome of menopause, or following an illness that has resulted in vaginal dryness.
The function of hyaluronic acid is similar to that of a sponge as it retains water within body tissues. With age, the production of natural hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to reduced hydration in both the skin and mucous membranes. Vaginal walls are also affected during menopause; this leads to significant changes and 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, irritations, sensitivity to infections, and pain during sexual intercourse.
Hyaluronic acid injections are a painless, quick, and effective aesthetic medical technique. Injected into the submucosal tissue, the product retains water molecules through its mesh-like positioning. This improves the hydration of the mucosa. More supple and better nourished, it regains its lost volume. However, it should be noted that this is a resorbable substance, and its effects last between 6 to 12 months. While these injections do not require general anaesthesia, they should be performed in a medical setting.
If vaginal dryness is affecting your life, do not hesitate to discuss it with one of the doctors at the Cosmetic Centre near Paris to improve both your daily life and your sexual comfort.
