Vaginal drying treatment

Alternative Names:
Treatment - vaginal drying

Information:

Question:
Is there a drug-free relief for vaginal dryness?

Answer:
A soybean diet may help because soybeans contain elements called isoflavones that exert a modest estrogenic effect. A diet rich in soy can improve vaginal lubrication. However, estrogen medications would likely exert a greater effect.
