Does aloe vera gel help with vaginal dryness naturally?

Pure, preservative-free aloe vera gel can provide soothing relief for mild vaginal dryness, but it should be patch tested and only used externally or with guidance from a healthcare professional.

Clinical Context

We sometimes suggest pure aloe vera gel for external soothing, but commercial blends often cause irritation. Discontinue use if any burning or discomfort occurs.

Evidence-Based Approaches

Research on aloe vera for vaginal dryness is limited; water-based medical moisturisers have stronger evidence for efficacy and safety. RCOG: Moisturisers and Vaginal Dryness.
