Vaginal dryness it is characterized by lack of lubrication of the vagina which can cause itching, irritation or discomfort and, in the sexual act is the cause of pain on penetration. In addition, moisture loss means decreased protective flora and easier to acquire vaginal infections.

The lubrication of the vagina occurs as a result of the autonomic nervous system (neurohormonal nervous system) and the hormones progesterone and estrogen. Both resources stimulate the production of cervical mucus produced by the glands of the cervix. This fluid passes through the membranes to the muscular walls of the vagina and is also discharged by vulvar glands flowing therein.
