Do not take hormone therapy for menopause (THM) is a natural choice. Indeed, this treatment is only recommended in the event of “symptoms significantly disturbing the quality of life”, in particular hot flashes and night sweats, that is to say in a minority of cases. When THM is taken, it should be evaluated annually and not continued for longer than necessary. This treatment is not recommended for women who have had breast or uterine cancer, arterial or venous diseases (phlebitis, pulmonary embolism, heart attack, etc.).
Improve intimate hydration
Local estrogen-based hormone therapy may be prescribed for vaginal dryness during menopause. These are creams or eggs to be introduced into the vagina twice a week to provide a small dose of hormone locally. This keeps the mucous membrane well hydrated and less fragile. It can be combined with a lubricant, which will have the effect of making intercourse less painful.
Sexual practice helps to improve the hydration of the vagina. Two sex a week (or more!) Is a good rhythm. Indeed, with each relationship, you practice, without being aware of it, a sort of gymnastics of the vessels of the entire genital area, extremely beneficial for vaginal lubrication.
Use lubricants: these are not hormone treatments, but water-capturing lubricants thanks to substances such as hyaluronic acid. To be used three times a week for better vaginal hydration.
Practice the sexual “gym”
First increase the length of foreplay, that is, non-sexual kisses and caresses before penetration. With the years and menopause, it takes longer for the vaginal lining to lubricate. Just like it takes longer for a man over 50 to get a sufficient erection. Feed your fantasies too! Having fun with your personal erotic thoughts, feeding them with readings, it allows the sexual vessels to function and the lubrication to train.
Practice the sexual “gym”. The vagina is surrounded by circular muscles allowing it to be tightened voluntarily. If you train them by doing regular muscle exercises, they will be more powerful, better irrigated and will provide increased sensations of pleasure and significantly better lubrication.
Stop smoking
The carbon monoxide in the cigarette smoke contracts the small vessels, making the internal organs, and the vagina in particular, less well irrigated, resulting in less lubrication. Also take stock of any medications you are taking. Some can affect vaginal lubrication, especially if among their side effects is noted: vaginal dryness, dry eyes, dry mucous membranes or dry mouth.
