What are the most effective vaginal suppositories for dryness?
Vaginal suppositories containing hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, or low-dose oestrogen are clinically proven for effective relief of dryness. Always use NHS-approved products for safety and best results.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Suppositories such as hyaluronic acid (e.g. Hyalofemme®), vitamin E, and low-dose oestrogen pessaries (e.g. Vagifem®) are proven in studies to restore moisture and improve tissue health. Hyaluronic acid is especially useful for women unable to use hormones, while oestrogen pessaries are considered the gold standard for postmenopausal dryness. Over-the-counter options should be pH-balanced and free of fragrances. NHS: Vaginal Dryness Treatments.
Clinical Context
Our clinic frequently prescribes low-dose oestrogen suppositories for severe or persistent dryness. For those unable to use hormones, hyaluronic acid is a safe and effective option.
Evidence-Based Approaches
RCTs and NHS guidelines support both oestrogen and non-hormonal suppositories. Always choose products approved by UK regulatory bodies. RCOG: Vaginal Dryness Approaches.
