58-year-old Halle Berry, known among others From the roles in the films “Woman-Kot”, “X-Men” or “Atlas of Clouds”, she decided to publicly tell about her intimate problem. All this to make more and more women aware that this type of ailments happen on the agenda. Last year she appeared in the program of former president Jill Biden and She revealed that she was struggling with perimenopausal vaginal dryness.
“I go to the bathroom and suddenly I feel like I have a razor in the middle”
However, the diagnosis was not easy to make. The actress was forced to visit her doctor after she took her intercourse with her partner. As she said, “I had great sex in the evening. I get up in the morning, go to the bathroom and suddenly I feel like I had a razor in the middle”
This problem affects even half of women over 40
The actress began to delve into this topic until she discovered that she suffers from vaginal dryness. This ailment is very popular among women who are approaching menopause (but not only). It is estimated that about half of women over 40 are struggling with this problem. As we read on Virtua Health, “this number is growing when we add younger ladies who have recently given birth to a child, breastfeed or take some types of contraception.”
All because of reduced estrogen levels. This hormone allows you to keep vaginal tissues in good condition, due to the fact that they are properly oxygenated. When the estrogen disappears and the blood flow is no longer so crazy, the cells begin to shrink, the tissues are less elastic and dryness occurs. Are we doomed to losing in this fight? Fortunately, there are some ways that can help.
Vaginal dryness – how to reduce its risk
Specialists indicate several important issues. The first of them may be “boring” for some, but this is the absolute basis to keep in health not only the lower body parts. It is about proper hydration of the body. You should drink at least 1.5 liters of water a dayand in the disease or in warm months even more. In addition, it is recommended to use the lubricant (in stores and pharmacies we can buy various versions, including on the basis of water, silicone or oil). And if our ailment is extremely problematic, Hormone replacement therapy can be considered. It is worth talking to your doctor about this possibility.
