Tips for Dealing With Vaginal Dryness Naturally

Last Updated on September 13, 2016 by Ellen Christian

I know that dealing with vaginal dryness naturally is one of those subjects that’s difficult to talk about even with your doctor. Unfortunately, for people suffering from chronic illness, it’s a topic that needs to be discussed. This is a sponsored post. I have been compensated through the Chronic Illness Bloggers network. All opinions remain my own and I was in no way influenced by the company.

Tips for Dealing With Vaginal Dryness Naturally

Lack of natural lubrication can lead to vaginal dryness. Before researching, I had no idea that the condition was so widespread. Vaginal dryness is not uncommon and can be a result of varying life conditions including:

• Perimenopause and menopause
• Pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding
• Change in hormones
• Stress, anxiety, or depression
• Imbalance in vaginal pH
• Allergy, cold medicines, and antihistamines
• Chemotherapy/exposure to radiation
• Candida albicans
• Diabetes

Over the years, I’ve experienced vaginal dryness as a result of several of these conditions. I also learned that the chemicals in detergents and soaps can result in dryness and irritation. The only products I’ve found in the past to deal with this condition have been made with parabens, hormones, harsh chemicals, animal products, and artificial ingredients. SYLK is the only all natural moisturizing lubricant made from bio-sustainable New Zealand Kiwifruit Plant Extract and it has none of these bad things in it.

The SYLK formula is made with kiwifruit plant extract that is harvested from orchards in the Province of Aukland, new Zeland. Kiwifruit plant contains an inherent ingredient known as polysaccharides; through their proprietary extract process, they collect the natural film-like lubricant which is similar to that of what the body produces.

SYLK also contains potassium sorbate to prolong shelf life and to inhibit harmful bacteria. The potassium sorbate used in SYLK is naturally derived from fruits and vegetables. The citric acid and sodium citrate are natural preservatives intended to optimize the pH of SYLK.

In addition to using SYLK, there are lifestyle changes that you can work on to help with vaginal dryness. Here are a few that you can try.

 

Stay Hydrated

Staying hydrated is something that we need to do for a variety of reasons. It helps with digestion, skin health, and even vaginal dryness. I keep a water bottle on my desk and have timers set on my iPhone to remind me to drink enough water each day. It’s not easy but it is important so I try hard to make staying hydrated a focus each day. If you wear a fitness tracker, you can often get alerts sent right to your tracker to remind you to stay hydrated.

Get Enough Omega3

Getting enough Omega3 can help improve vaginal dryness. You’ll find Omega3 in things like seeds (raw pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame) and fish (salmon, mackerel, and tuna). I toss a handful of seeds on top of my Greek yogurt in the morning for an easy way to boost my Omega3. I’m not a big fan of fish, but I do enjoy tuna fish so I make sure to have tuna salad a few times a week. Please make sure that you choose a brand that is sustainably caught.

Dealing with vaginal dryness doesn’t have to stop you from enjoying life or spending time with those that are close to you. By following a few of these tips, I hope that you’ll see improvement. SYLK is a trusted product that has been sold for over 30 years internationally. It is now available in the United States as an FDA cleared product, which demonstrates its long-standing record of safety and effectiveness. Learn more today and find SYLK on Amazon.
