Menopause & vulvar dryness: the solutions to adopt

Transform your menopause into a precious time

A pivotal stage in a woman's life, menopause is often categorized as taboo because it marks the point at which a woman is no longer able to reproduce. Just as men lose their hair, women are immediately labeled as past their prime...

Yet, old age is a treasure! It's the time when women finally listen to themselves. They have more time for themselves, they know what they like and don't like sexually. Ultimately, they have nothing left to lose and everything to gain!

What happens in the body during menopause

During menopause, as at every stage of a woman's life, the body undergoes hormonal changes. During menopause, the body produces significantly less estrogen (a sex hormone), which causes numerous symptoms...

Common symptoms of menopause:

• Irregular periods

• Hot flashes

• Night sweats

• Sleep disturbances

• Mood disorders

• Decreased libido

• Dryness of the mucous membranes ...

Before labeling yourself as menopausal, it is necessary to consult a gynecologist so that he can diagnose it himself!

Daily vulvar dryness

Vulvar dryness ( some use the term "vaginal", but we are talking about the external area) during menopause poses far more problems than we think. 40% of menopausal women suffer from vaginal dryness in silence. This makes daily life very difficult: impossible to sit with legs crossed, no more lace panties, and the ordeal of exercising in leggings...

Sex and menopause: are they compatible?

One of the most common challenges during menopause is a decrease in libido . But is it really about desire?

Yes, hormones play a role in perceived sexual desire, BUT this decrease is also due to the sensation of vulvar dryness, which makes sexual activity painful...

Tips for a fulfilling sex life during menopause:

1. Continue having sexual relations. Like a muscle, the mucous membranes will work harder, increasing lubrication and the thickness of vaginal tissues, making penetration less painful.
2. Apply lubricant during sexual intercourse.
3. Apply Vulva Balm after sex or every day to soothe and moisturize the mucous membranes.

Vulva Balm is a true miracle for the vulva of menopausal women! Far from being a simple lubricant, it is a gentle, 100% natural and 100% organic balm that allows you to regain vulvar comfort on a daily basis.

Yeast infection or vaginal dryness: how to tell the difference?

• Thick, white discharge, sometimes odorous, is often a sign of infection.

Signs of vaginal dryness:

• Pulling or burning sensations
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• No abnormal losses.

If in doubt or if symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
