Does vaginal dryness reduce sexual sensation?

Yes, vaginal dryness commonly leads to reduced sexual sensation and can cause discomfort or pain during intercourse, affecting sexual enjoyment.

Clinical Context

Vaginal dryness is common in menopause, postpartum, and during breastfeeding. Early intervention can restore comfort and sensation, supporting intimacy and quality of life.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NICE and BMS recommend vaginal moisturisers, lubricants, and oestrogen therapy for ongoing dryness (NICE CKS).
