Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is commonly caused by hormonal changes and may affect comfort and sexual health.

Treatment options

• OTC lubricants for mild symptoms

• Prescription estrogen therapies to strengthen vaginal tissue

What’s the difference between over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription vaginal dryness medications?

OTC vaginal lubricants and moisturizers can treat mild symptoms of vaginal dryness. They can enhance comfort during sex and increase vaginal moisture, but they won't reverse vaginal atrophy.

Prescription vaginal dryness treatments often contain estrogen, which can actually strengthen vaginal tissue.
