Vaginal Dryness Treatment in Korea
What is Vaginal Dryness?
Vaginal dryness is a condition in which the vaginal walls dry out due to a decrease in the secretions that keep the vagina moist. It is common in menopausal women and women who experience pain during intercourse.
Vaginal dryness causes the secretions to decrease or almost disappear, making it impossible to block external viruses, bacteria, and pollutants entering through the vagina. Ultimately, the body’s protective function declines, and symptoms such as vulvar pain, vaginitis, pain during intercourse, and redness and bleeding of the vaginal mucosa occur.
