Vaginal atrophy is a condition often associated with menopause, where the vaginal walls become thinner, drier, and less elastic due to a decrease in estrogen levels. This can cause discomfort during in*******se, itching, and an increased risk of urinary infections. Although it’s commonly linked to menopause, it can also occur during breastfeeding or after cancer treatments, as these factors can also affect estrogen levels.
If you're experiencing symptoms of vaginal atrophy, there are treatments that can help, including topical estrogen creams, vaginal moisturizers, or even lifestyle changes like using lubricants during s*x. Your OB/GYN can recommend the best treatment plan to relieve symptoms and improve your quality of life.
