Condition:
Vaginal atrophy or atrophic vaginitis
Definition:
Vaginal atrophy (atrophic vaginitis) is thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur when your body has less estrogen. Vaginal atrophy occurs most often after menopause.
For many women, vaginal atrophy not only makes intercourse painful but also leads to distressing urinary symptoms. Because the condition causes both vaginal and urinary symptoms, doctors use the term “genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)” to describe vaginal atrophy and its accompanying symptoms.
What causes vaginal atrophy (GSM)?
During menopause, your body makes less estrogen. Without estrogen, the lining of your vagina can become thinner and less stretchy. Your vaginal canal can also narrow and shorten. Less estrogen also lowers the amount of normal vaginal fluids and changes the acid balance in your vagina. All of these factors make your vaginal tissue more delicate and more likely to become irritated.
Your body can also produce less estrogen during events other than menopause. People who are breastfeeding, receiving cancer treatment, or who have had their ovaries removed can also experience vaginal atrophy due to a lack of estrogen.
Symptom:
Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) signs and symptoms may include:
- Vaginal dryness
- Vaginal burning
- Vaginal discharge
- Genital itching
- Burning with urination
- Urgency with urination
- Frequent urination
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Urinary incontinence
- Light bleeding after intercourse
- Discomfort with intercourse
- Decreased vaginal lubrication during sexual activity
- Shortening and tightening of the vaginal canal
Description:
Daily, insert Reproductive System Cleanser, vaginally (same as a tampon), and squeeze half a pipette (0.5ml) into the vaginal lumen, once a day. (refer to the bottom for more).
In addition
Drink 1 capsule of the Intimacy Blend daily, after a meal, and apply 5 drops of this same blend on the thigh gap, between the legs, at night.
If you experience vaginal dryness, itchiness, or discomfort during intercourse apply a few drops of the Frankincense and Myrrh Blend 30ml 100ml
Lie flat on your back when performing this process to ensure the oil gets absorbed properly. It is best to do this just before bed at night. Lying down will reduce leakage of the blend from your vagina that could occur while standing or walking around. Absorption by the vaginal vessels, flow into the body’s circulatory system, which distributes to the body’s organs and bodily systems. Not to be used during the menstrual cycle.
