Vaginal dryness can have various causes, ranging in severity from 'troubling' to 'needs attention'. Finding the true cause means ruling out or confirming each possibility – in other words, diagnosis.
Diagnosis is usually a complex process due to the sheer number of possible causes and related symptoms. In order to diagnose vaginal dryness, we could:
Cause | Probability | Status |
---|---|---|
Hormone Imbalance | 95% | Confirm |
Low Estrogens | 52% | Possible |
Do you experience vaginal dryness? It is usually associated with itching, burning and pain during sexual intercourse.
Possible responses:
→ Never had it / don't know→ Probably had it/minor episode(s) now resolved → Major episode(s) now resolved → Current minor problem → Current major problem |
The most common cause of vaginal dryness is lack of estrogen.
