When we talk about vaginal dryness, or vaginal atrophy, a few things are happening. First of all, you are lacking the production of vaginal mucous, which a healthy vagina secretes. A healthy vagina secretes a mucous that surrounds the vaginal tract, along with a “clear” liquid from the bloodstream that gets filtered by the cells, this clear liquid is also produced to help lubricate and nourish the tissues. What happens as we age, are under stress, malnourished, hormone destructions or changes going on, have taken estrogen blocking drugs, antihistamines, certain medications, or who have had hysterectomies (which shut down estrogen production), the vaginal tissues themselves start lacking that ability to hold moisture. The tissues literally dry out, you can create lesions where the tissues can actually tear, you can start spotting, etc. Hygeena’s Pueraria Mirifica Suppositories support the protective barrier that the mucosal membranes once provided, and the lubrication it provided is now breached. You are now more vulnerable to disease, and altering the microbiome in the vagina, UTI’s, STD’s, etc.
