Help vaginal dryness

 

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Dr. Sheva Gorani, an ob gyn for 23 years, who also had ovarian cancer six years ago, which means like many of you, I am now in menopause. This can change our system in so many ways, one of which is vulva vaginal atrophy, now called genital urinary syndrome of menopause, which really means. Our vagina and our valve become less elastic. 

Things like lubricants are gonna help a little bit when you have painful sex, but they're not gonna actually get to the root of the problem, which is the deeper tissues are losing. Their ability to have hyaluronic acid and the lack of estrogen causes lack of elasticity. You can use vaginal estrogens. 

They're very safe. But some women don't wanna use the hormones. This is the first FDA cleared vaginal hyaluronic acid suppository. This is something that your body secretes anyway, but is losing its ability over time. This little avial goes in every two to three days, and it really creates a beautiful moisture barrier so that sex does not have to be painful.
