Normally, the first approach to vaginal atrophy is to use vaginal moisturizers to try to restore moisture to the area. In addition, water-based lubricants are often recommended when sexual intercourse is to be performed to avoid possible discomfort.
If these treatments do not improve the symptoms caused by vaginal atrophy, the specialist will opt for a cream-based estrogen treatment. In addition, there are hormonal therapeutic options.
Finally, a treatment with hyaluronic acid infiltrated directly into the vaginal skin can be applied. This provides hydration to the area and reduces vaginal dryness.
