Does drinking more water help with vaginal dryness?

Drinking more water can help maintain general hydration, but it has a limited direct effect on vaginal dryness. Most cases require targeted treatments like moisturisers or hormone therapy.

Clinical Context

We recommend good hydration for general wellbeing, but persistent vaginal dryness needs medical assessment and evidence-based management for best outcomes.

Evidence-Based Approaches

National guidelines do not support increased water intake as a cure for vaginal dryness. Rely on NHS-approved moisturisers and therapies for symptom relief. RCOG: Managing Vaginal Dryness.
