Is your vagina as dry as a desert? Do you wish that you could get your sexy back? Vaginal dryness is not just for the menopausal generation. It may surprise you to know that a 20-year-old on birth control pills can also have a dry vagina as can a 40-year-old on chemotherapy. Yes, vaginal dryness can occur at any age depending upon the hormonal changes occurring at the time.
During our younger years, the hormone estrogen is responsible for keeping the vagina moist and plump.
Folds in the vagina called rugae help to increase friction during sexual intercourse making it more pleasurable.
With age, the vaginal tissue thins, and the vagina shortens making it more susceptible to bacterial invasion and itchiness.
The external genitalia becomes misshapen. Women are apt to bleed more now with sexual intercourse.
