I see alot of perimenopausal and menopausal women…This crowd tends to complain about dry vaginas alot (guys, if you are reading this it is bc your partner probably can’t even have sex due to the pain!). A dry vagina is like saran wrap held taught…one tiny tear and the whole thing rips in half. OUCH! Another complaint is that of chronic yeast infections or itchy vagina (vaginitis)…this is in the same group of women or even young women. How can we keep the down-unders healthy and moist??? Simple answer.
1. Estriol suppositories–the gentlest of the plant estrogens. Used nightly for 7-14 nights and then even 2-3 times per week feeds estrogen starved saran wrap tissue. It is 100% successful and is treating the cause of the problem to begin with. I DO NOT prescribe premerin or estrace cream for the same issue….synthetic estrogens are GROSS and scientifically WRONG.
Find the suppositories in my online store…1 mg for mild issues, 2 mg for very dry VaJJ.
2. Fem Dophilus–good “flora” down there is a must to prevent infections. It keeps the areas ph healthy and fresh. You take 1-2 capsules per day of these GOOD bugs for the privates! Find FemDophilus in my store.
3. Apple cider vinegar and water douches occasionally can balance the entire area. (use only once in awhile)
4. Use it or lose it….no explanation needed.
