Vaginal dryness during the menopause: what helps

Which nutrients your mucous membranes really need right now – without any hormones.

Vaginal dryness is a common issue – especially around the menopause. And yet it is hardly ever talked about. Yet more than 40% of women are affected. Maybe you are too.

The medical term is vaginal (vulvovaginal) atrophy. Typical symptoms are

• Dryness and reduced natural secretion
• Itching or burning
• the feeling of an “irritated bladder”
• Pain during sex

If your mucous membranes feel dry, sensitive or “not like they used to”: You’re not alone. And above all – you don’t have to resort to hormones straight away. There are effective, natural ways to support your vaginal health from the inside.

Let’s remove the taboo from the subject.

Oestrogen levels fall during the menopause. Oestrogen normally ensures that the vaginal mucosa:

• well supplied with blood
• elastic
• moist
• is resistant

Why vaginal dryness occurs

If less oestrogen is produced, the mucous membrane becomes thinner, drier and more sensitive – with all the familiar symptoms.

But it’s not just the menopause that plays a role. Other triggers can be:

• Hormonal changes (e.g. breastfeeding)
• certain medications (antidepressants, antihistamines, contraception)
• Stress & emotional strain
• Smoking & poor circulation
• Frequent intimate washing or fragrances
• Recurrent vaginal infections
• a disturbed intestinal and vaginal microbiome
• Lack of fluids

The good news is that many of these factors can be positively influenced – especially through diet and targeted nutrients.

Vaginal health starts on the inside

The vaginal mucosa is part of your mucosal system – just like your intestines, mouth or skin. What it needs are:

• healthy fats
• hormone-supporting plant substances
• antioxidant cell protection
• a stable microbiome

1. omega fatty acids – care for mucous membranes from the inside

Omega fatty acids are essential for moist, elastic mucous membranes. Particularly important:

• Omega-3 and -6 for cell membranes
• Omega-7 (from sea buckthorn) for natural moisturizing

Omega-7 is considered a real mucous membrane specialist – also for the vaginal mucous membrane.

👉 Oilalala Skin Omega Complex provides a unique combination of omega-3-6-7-9 from organic sea buckthorn oil.

Many users report not only less vaginal dryness, but also:

• less dry skin
• Less dry eyes
• Overall “smoother” mucous membranes

One product – several levels of effect.

2. vitamin E & antioxidants – protection against dehydration

Vitamin E protects cell membranes from oxidative stress and helps to retain moisture in the mucous membranes. Oxidative stress in the body increases, especially during hormonal upheaval phases – including in the vaginal mucosa.

A good supply supports:

• the regeneration
• the resistance
• the natural protective function

3. probiotics for the vaginal flora

The vaginal flora is closely linked to the intestinal microbiome. If this is out of balance, the vaginal mucosa often suffers too.

Special lactic acid bacteria can help:

• stabilize the vaginal environment
• promote protective lactobacilli
• reduce recurring irritations

👉 The Viva La Flora Female Biotic Complex is specially tailored to the needs of this sensitive area of the female body with bacterial strains, prebiotics and biotin that work specifically in the vaginal microbiome – ideal as a daily basis for mucosal and vaginal health.

4. phytoestrogens – gentle herbal support

Phytoestrogens are plant substances that are similar to the body’s own oestrogen – but have a much milder effect. They can help to alleviate typical menopausal symptoms without interfering with the hormone balance like HRT.

Studies show:

• No increased risk of breast cancer with moderate consumption
• even protective effects in many populations
• Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and the like are particularly valuable.

👉 MRS Do-It-All 45+ combines these plant substances with targeted micronutrients that women need during the peri- and menopause – holistic, suitable for everyday use and hormone-free.

Small everyday factors with a big impact

• Reduce stress: Stress has a measurable effect on hormones & mucous membranes
• Exercise: promotes blood circulation – also in the pelvic area
• Avoid irritants: no fragrances, no aggressive intimate washes
• Drink enough: mucous membranes need water

Conclusion: You can do something – naturally

Vaginal dryness is not a fate that you have to accept.
With the right combination of:

• healthy fats(Oilalala)
