FemiLift for Vaginal Dryness & Painful Sex – FAQs
In this article board certified Newark area gynecologist Dr. Gor at Better U Medical Spa in answers our Newark, NJ patients’ frequently asked questions about FemiLift Nonsurgical Treatment for Vaginal Dryness & Painful Sex.
What causes vaginal dryness?
Factors that can result in short-term experiences of painful sex-causing vaginal dryness include dehydration, allergic reactions, and even anxiety. Certain cold or flu medications have also been reported to cause short-term vaginal dryness.
Long-term vaginal dryness (also called vaginal atrophy) is almost universally caused by low levels of estrogen. While menopause is one of the most common culprits for drops in estrogen production, they can also occur during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. Patients who have had their ovaries surgically removed may also experience vaginal dryness and painful sex. Cancer treatments, as well as anti-estrogen drugs, may also cause vaginal dryness, and may result in painful sex.
Estrogen, which is produced mainly in the ovaries, is the hormone responsible for the thickness, elasticity, and lubrication of the vaginal lining. When the body’s levels of estrogen are decreased, the lining of the vagina becomes thinner and less elastic. It also results in vaginal dryness, one of the main causes of painful sex. Decreased estrogen levels may also result in dehydration-induced changes of color to the vaginal lining.
How are vaginal dryness & painful sex related?
Not only does the vagina have the incredible ability to self-clean, it also self-lubricates. During the hormone spikes experienced during arousal, the vagina has the ability to balance its moisture to a level appropriate for a comfortable sexual experience.
