Indications of the candles from the dryness of the vagina

Mucous tissues of the vagina should always be moistened. In a healthy female body, this moistening is achieved by isolating a specific secret from the glandular ducts of the cervix, the uterus and the vaginal mucosa.

In addition to the secret, normal in the vaginal cavity contains a useful microflora (about 98%) and a small number of conditionally pathogenic bacteria, the growth and multiplication of which inhibit beneficial microorganisms. In addition, there is another benefit of microflora - it contributes to the formation of lactic acid, which, in turn, guarantees the stability of the acidity of the vaginal environment.

The degree of moisture in the vaginal cavity may vary due to the following reasons:

• when the level of beneficial bacteria decreases, the vaginal fluid shifts to the acid side, the development of the inflammatory reaction;
• with a hormonal failure associated with a decrease in the level of estrogens;
• if improperly observed the rules of personal hygiene;
• at diseases of a thyroid gland;
• with some types of allergy;
• as a result of strong stresses and experiences.

The most common cause of dryness in the vagina is the age-related changes in the mucosa, which are invariably manifested during the postmenopausal period.
