I have very dry and itchy vagina. Intercourse is so painful for me. M also taking progesterone release tabs for conceiving. Whts wrong with me.

Question

Hello-
A variety of conditions can cause vaginal dryness.  Reduced estrogen levels are the main cause.  Vaginal dryness is often induced by deficiency of progesterone domination, poor vaginal blood circulation, or lack of androgen hormones, oxytocin, prostaglandins, nitric oxide and cGMP release in the vaginal/arterial parasympathetic erectile nervous endings.

There are many other herbs that help alleviate vaginal dryness.  Aloevera is helpful for infections and is known for its healing effects.  It can be applied topically to relieve itching or taken internally or used in a douche.  Calendula and vitamin A vaginal suppositories are soothing and healing.  Pau d'arco contains natural antibiotic agents and has a healing effect.
