What is vaginal dryness?
Vaginal dryness is still a taboo subject. However, it is a widespread problem that affects mainly women in menopause but also occurs in younger women.
Vaginal dryness occurs when the natural moisture of the vagina decreases, which is usually due to hormonal causes such as menopause, stress or certain medications.
Symptoms range from unpleasant itching and burning to pain during sex. In this article, you will learn all about the causes, symptoms, and options for dealing with vaginal dryness.
Most common causes of vaginal dryness:
- Hormonal changes: perimenopause, menopause, pregnancy, breastfeeding or hormonal contraceptives.
- Medication: antidepressants, antihistamines, chemotherapy.
- Stress and lack of sleep: tensions that affect hormonal balance.
- Intimate hygiene: aggressive or perfumed products, excessive washing.
- Infections: vaginal infections and some autoimmune diseases.
- Age: natural decrease in moisture production.
How does vaginal dryness manifest?
Vaginal dryness is characterized by various symptoms. Typical signs are usually:
- Itching and burning: Unpleasant and recurring sensation in the genital area.
- Pain during intercourse: Insufficient moisture can cause friction and therefore an unpleasant sensation.
- Irritation or small cracks: Dry mucous membranes are more sensitive and more susceptible to irritation.
- Frequent infections: An altered vaginal environment can increase the risk of bacterial and fungal infections.
If you notice one or more of these symptoms, you should consult a specialist. They can clarify the causes and recommend an appropriate treatment.
Can vaginal dryness be treated?
Personalised intimate care can help to alleviate discomfort and improve and maintain intimate health in the long term. It is important to use natural and gentle care products that have a soothing and moisturising effect. However, it is also important to lead a healthy lifestyle: a balanced diet, regular exercise and avoiding irritating care products play a key role.

Dryness of the mucous membranes is a common problem that can be aggravated by hormonal changes or external influences.

Holistic approaches to vaginal dryness: more than just care
Although Hifas da Terra intimate care products are effective, the treatment of vaginal dryness should be considered holistically. A healthy diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E and sufficient water intake can also contribute to the health of the mucous membranes. Regular exercise also contributes to blood circulation in the intimate area and can increase well-being.
Stress and lack of sleep are common factors that can promote vaginal dryness and increased sensitivity. It is particularly important to actively support the body and mind during difficult phases of life. Regular rest breaks, meditation and conscious and enjoyable exercise (sport adapted to your physical condition) can play a valuable role in this regard. The natural food supplement Equilibrium from Hifas da Terra can also be of great help. This natural formula helps reduce stress, harmonise body and mind and increase well-being – valuable support for women’s overall health .
In addition to these measures, it is important to focus on gentle intimate hygiene and avoid harsh cleaning products, as they can upset the balance of the delicate vaginal environment. Instead, mild pH-neutral shampoos are recommended to promote natural balance. In addition, if symptoms persist, it is always advisable to consult a specialist.
