What is Vaginal atrophy

Vaginal atrophy is thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls due to a decline in estrogen. Vaginal atrophy occurs most often after menopause but it can also develop during breast-feeding or at any other time your body's estrogen production declines.

For many women vaginal atrophy makes intercourse painful and if intercourse hurts your interest in sex will naturally wane. In addition, healthy genital function is closely intertwined with healthy urinary system function.Simple, effective treatments for vaginal atrophy are available. Reduced estrogen levels do result in changes to your body, but it doesn't mean you have to live with the discomfort associated with vaginal atrophy.
