Around the age of 45 and 50, a woman passes through the stage of menopause.  Before, during or after the menopause, most women experience vaginal dryness or vaginal atrophy.  Vaginal dryness is a common problem experienced by most women during menopause. Inside the uterus are the mucous membranes, which keep the vagina wet. The estrogen help the mucous membrane produce moisture and lubricate the vaginal skin.

During menopause, the estrogen level in the body reduces drastically. As the result, vagina gets dried. The walls of the vagina also get thinned. The body releases lesser amount of mucous during menopause. This aggravates the vaginal dryness. The mouth of vagina also becomes smaller. As a result, the intercourse becomes very painful. It could also result in bleeding.  Most women shy away from intercourse during this time. There is also itching and burning sensation. Though, vaginal dryness occurs primarily at the time of menopause, it can affect to any woman of any age group.  Apart from menopause, vaginal dryness can occur due to various reasons like:

1. Smoking
