A vConfidence certified doctor in San Diego, CA, can provide treatment for dyspareunia, a condition that can cause pain or discomfort during intercourse due to vaginal dryness.
What is Dyspareunia?
Dyspareunia is a condition that can cause painful intercourse due to a lack of moisture in the vaginal wall. Reduced estrogen factors and vaginal atrophy in a woman’s vulvovaginal region are the most common causes for vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. The vulvovaginal region is comprised of the vulva (the inner and outer labia and the clitoris) and the vagina. Declining estrogen levels occur naturally as a woman ages and can begin as early as age 30. When a women produces less estrogen, which especially occurs during and after menopause, it can lead to vaginal atrophy, which is the thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls. The vaginal walls then become less flexible and more fragile.
Vaginal dryness not only causes painful intercourse, but it can lead to intimacy problems in a couple’s relationship, and other negative emotional issues such as stress and low self-esteem can also come up.
