How do low estrogen levels affect vaginal sensation?

Low oestrogen levels can lead to vaginal dryness, thinning of the vaginal walls, and reduced elasticity, all of which can diminish vaginal sensation and sexual comfort.

Clinical Context

Women with low oestrogen, particularly during or after menopause, often notice changes in sensation. Personalised hormone management can be highly effective in restoring vaginal health.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NICE and BMS guidelines recommend local oestrogen for vaginal symptoms and dryness linked to low oestrogen (NICE CKS).
