Can dietary changes restore vaginal sensitivity?
There is no specific diet proven to restore vaginal sensitivity, but a balanced, nutrient-rich diet can support nerve and pelvic health.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Eating a diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats can support nerve function, blood flow, and hormone balance. Deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals, especially B12, D, and E, may worsen nerve issues. Maintain hydration and avoid excessive processed foods. NHS: Eatwell Guide.
Clinical Context
For persistent numbness, see a clinician for investigation rather than relying on dietary changes alone.
Evidence-Based Approaches
NHS and NICE recommend a balanced diet for overall health, but not as a sole treatment for nerve loss (NICE CKS).
