Vaginal dryness is basically a loss of the usual moist and soft feel of the lining of vagina. Women of all ages can be affected by vaginal dryness, but it is particularly present in women during the transition of menopause.
|
Normally, the vagina is kept moist by mucus membranes (vaginal epithelium) that are located at the mouth of uterus. Estrogen in women body aids these membranes in producing lubrication that helps to keep the vagina moist, supple, strong, and also shuns vaginal dryness. The lubricant also has a slight acidity level, which helps to protect the vagina from foreign bacteria, keeping it free from infection and avoiding vaginal dryness too.
Vaginal dryness can produce pain during sex and make women women feel uncomfortable. However, this symptom is easily controlled using an appropriate vaginal dryness treatment. |

Treatment for vaginal dryness with MacaActive |
As you have already read, the main cause for vaginal dryness is the declination of estrogen hormone levels produced by natural aging. Therefore, if you want to get rid of this undesirable symptom, you must first restore estrogen hormonal levels.
Nowadays, there are three effective ways to normalize hormonal levels. They are: lifestyle changes, alternative medicine and drugs & surgery.

Lifestyle Changes: This first level of treatment involves no risk but may be the hardest way to go because you'll have to restrict yourself from many things. That's why most people consider the next level of treatment: Alternative medicine, which has proven to be excellent for treating vaginal dryness in a natural and safe way.

Alternative medicine: There are two types of herbal supplements for treating vaginal dryness: The ones made of phytoestrogenic herbs and the ones made of non-estrogenic herbs. Phytoestrogen herbs (like Black Cohosh) are made of phyto-estrogens which are similar to estrogens. So, they can increase low estrogen levels, because they replace some of the missing estrogen hormones. But, they aren't the best solution because your body will become less responsive to produce estrogen on its own. This causes a further decrease of body-own hormone levels. Unlike phytoestrogen herbs, non-estrogenic herbs don't contain any estrogen, but they nourish hormonal glands to work more efficiently. This ultimately ends up in balancing not only estrogen, but all other needed hormones too. Due to this, non-estrogenic herbs can be considered one of the safest and best ways to treat vaginal dryness naturally.
An excellent example for a safe and effective non-estrogenic herb for hormonal imbalance is herbal MacaActive. What makes MacaActive so special is the ability to balance hormonal levels in women, by nourishing the hormonal glands. In this way, it alleviates most disorders related to hormonal imbalance such as vaginal dryness. to read more about MacaActive.

Drugs and Surgery: this level of treatment has the highest risk and often the highest costs. The most common drug therapy for treating vaginal dryness in the US is hormone replacement therapy (HRT). There's no doubt that this is the quickest and strongest way to combat hormonal imbalance; but, unfortunately, it entails serious side effects and increases the risk of different cancer types among women. If you still want to consider this approach, take a visit to your physician, and be more informed about what this treatment option involves.
