Vaginal Dryness and Itching

Vaginal dryness can cause painful intercourse and persistent pelvic pain, among other symptoms. While it’s more common in menopausal women, it also affects younger women. Low estrogen can contribute to dryness. A thorough examination with one of our experts at Urology of North Florida will ensure the correct diagnosis is made and less common, but more serious, conditions are not missed. We will help you determine the best course of treatment.

Vaginal dryness can result from:
  • Menopause
  • Breastfeeding and childbirth
  • Birth control pills
  • Cancer treatments including chemotherapy and hormonal therapy
  • Diabetes
  • Medications, including anti-estrogen medications (treating uterine fibroids or endometriosis), certain antidepressants and antihistamines (treating itchy eyes and runny noses)
  • Removal of the ovaries
  • Sjogren’s syndrome (an autoimmune disorder that can cause dryness throughout the body)

Some common conditions this symptom is linked to include:
