What is Vaginal Atrophy?
Vaginal dryness or vulvar dryness can occur at almost any age, and is most often associated with the onset of menopause.
Vaginal dryness can also result from a number of different causes, and it may seem like a relatively unimportant issue at first. However, dryness in women can have an important and negative effect on their sexual intimacy, as well as impacting their couple life.
The term vaginal atrophy is used to describe the combination of vaginal dryness with associated urinary troubles. For many women, vaginal atrophy not only makes intercourse painful, but also leads to distressing urinary symptoms.
With the combination of the vaginal and urological issues associated with this condition, the terminology “genitourinary syndrome of menopause” is also employed in discussion of a lack of vaginal lubrication due to aging.
Simple, effective treatments for genitourinary syndrome of menopause — vaginal atrophy and its urinary symptoms — are available. Reduced estrogen levels result in changes to your body, but it doesn’t mean you have to live with the discomfort of GSM.

The Causes of Vaginal Dryness
During menopause, estrogen production slows and then stops. When that happens, a number of changes happen in a woman’s body, including reduced natural lubrication in the vagina—female lubrication problems.
Normally, the walls of the vagina stay lubricated with a thin layer of clear fluid. The hormone estrogen helps maintain that fluid and keeps the lining of the vagina healthy, thick, and elastic.
During menopause, reduced estrogen levels impact the amount of moisture available. It also makes the vagina thinner and less elastic. This is called vaginal atrophy (female lubrication problems).
In addition to menopause, estrogen levels can drop from:
- Childbirth and breastfeeding
- Radiation or chemotherapy treatment for cancer
- Surgical removal of the ovaries
- Anti-estrogen medications used to treat uterine fibroids or endometriosis
You deserve to feel confident about intimacy in your relationship.
