Amenorrhea may lead to vulvar atrophy.
Vulvar atrophy is a normal phenomenon in women after amenorrhea, a longer process, and will not be obvious in the short term after amenorrhea. Vulvovaginal atrophy can cause symptoms such as painful intercourse and discomfort during intercourse, affecting normal gender life.
The main cause of vulvar atrophy after amenorrhea may be due to the failure of ovarian function to secrete progesterone normally, or the thinning of the vulvar skin mucosa due to the decrease in estrogen level. The fatty tissues of the vulvar skin, labia, vaginal walls and other parts of the vulva will become less elastic and thinner, thus causing vulvar atrophy.
Patients with vulvar atrophy after amenorrhea should not panic, and can use estrogenic drugs under the guidance of doctors in regular hospitals, and maintain a regular routine and healthy diet. If you feel uncomfortable when having sex with your partner, you can use lubricants to restore your normal sex life.
