NATURAL REMEDIES TO RELIEVE VAGINAL DRYNESS
Vaginal dryness occurs when vaginal secretions decrease and the vagina loses its natural lubrication.
It is a condition that affects many women, almost always at the time of menopause, because of the reduction in estrogen and progesterone levels they suffer from.
Women can also suffer from it at other times in their lives, in the event of infections caused by bacteria, fungal infections, stress, diabetes or the use of unsuitable hygienic products.
Even though at first the absence of vaginal secretions tends to be ignored, other symptoms appear which leads the patient to seek treatment to relieve this dryness.
