Vaginal Atrophy: Healing Dryness Functionally
How come we don’t see any commercials regarding vaginal atrophy? Everybody knows about erectile dysfunction and the many ways and means that men can address their issues.
We’re constantly bombarded by commercials that promise relief but only for the male gender. According to the Mayo Clinic, vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) is thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur when your body has less estrogen. Vaginal atrophy occurs most often after menopause. Blame estrogen, the sex hormone that regulates women’s sexual and reproductive development. As we age, our estrogen levels diminish, thereby affecting our mood, sexual desires, bone health, and, most importantly, the state of our hoo-ha. Nobody seems to want to talk about what women face as we mature. Even the word atrophy seems to denote a shriveling up, of turning into a hag, someone that is old and ugly, worthy of neglect. Dysfunction, however, doesn’t evoke much of a reaction. It seems to be just a failure in execution that does not affect the person’s value.

Several plants have lignans, a type of phytoestrogen that is similar to the female hormone. It may help relieve hot flashes, prevent osteoporosis and promote heart health.

But more studies are required since the isoflavone’s effect on the human body is complex. Sesame Seeds A clinical study has shown that women that consume 50 grams of sesame seed powder daily for five weeks have increased estrogen level and improved blood circulation. Unfortunately, some of us don’t have the time to wait for the plants to work. When the moment is right, you don’t want to be holding back just because the flaxseed hasn’t kicked in and increased your estrogen.
