Vaginal dryness is a common problem manifested by burning, itching and pain during intercourse. Most often, this problem affects postmenopausal women, but it is also observed in young women, e.g. nursing mothers and women using oral contraception. Moisturizing intimate gels, creams and vaginal globules with hyaluronic acid, lactic acid and glycerin available in the pharmacy come to the rescue. In some cases, your doctor may additionally order the use of HRT (hormone replacement therapy).
