Vaginal atrophy, or atrophic vaginitis, happens when the vaginal walls thin, often due to a drop in oestrogen during menopause, certain medications, or breastfeeding. Common vaginal atrophy symptoms include dryness, itching, burning, and pain during sex.
Always speak to a doctor if you think you're experiencing vaginal atrophy, they can talk you through your options. Alongside medical care, many women find a gentle vaginal or vulvar moisturiser such as Victory Oil helps with everyday comfort.
