How to manage vaginal dryness after hysterectomy?

Vaginal dryness is common after hysterectomy, especially if the ovaries are removed. Local oestrogen therapy, non-hormonal moisturisers, and regular sexual activity are effective management options.

Clinical Context

We routinely support women post-hysterectomy with tailored advice. Individual treatment is based on medical history, type of surgery, and personal preferences.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Clinical guidelines recommend local oestrogen for dryness after surgical menopause. For those with cancer history or who wish to avoid hormones, non-hormonal options remain effective. RCOG: Post-Hysterectomy Vaginal Health.
