Hormone changes

It can affect women at any

age, and is often associated

with changes in hormone

levels – for example when taking

the contraceptive Pill or while

breastfeeding. Women who’ve had

surgery on their womb or ovaries

may also find dryness becomes

a problem. Because it’s hormone-

free, vagisan MoistCream is

suitable for use at any time.

Medical

treatments Many

women find there are

uncomfortable side effects

to a variety of drugs used in the

treatment of cancer, and breast

cancer in particular. other

medications for diabetes, asthma,

depression and endometriosis

may also have vaginal dryness as

a side effect.

The menopause

one of the natural changes

that comes with the

menopause is a reduction

in the amount of oestrogen we

produce. With less of this female

hormone, there’s also less vaginal

fluid to provide lubrication. This

can lead to dryness in the delicate

tissues around the vulva and

vagina. And when this skin is less

elastic, it becomes vulnerable to

soreness, irritation and injury.

3 CoMMon Causes oF Vaginal dryness

Vagisan MoistCream is an effective

remedy, offering relief from the

discomfort of dryness. You can apply it

externally around the vulva and there’s

also an easy-to-use applicator that

allows you to use the cream directly

inside the vagina. Offering relief from the

very first application, this hormone-free

cream provides moisture and nurturing

lipids to keep delicate skin soft and

supple. You don’t need a prescription

and can buy it over the counter at your

pharmacy. But if symptoms such as pain,

itching or burning sensations continue,

you should see your GP as there could

be an underlying cause.
