More of a woman on six declare to endure vaginal drought sometimes. This trouble can have psychological consequences and can sound on the couple, dragging a decrease of the libido. To preserve the desire, some simple solutions exist. Sometimes temporary, the vaginal drought can touch the women to different moments of their life. More current during the menopause, it increases the vulnerability to the gynecological infections and can disrupt the sexual harmony of the couple. Of the reasons often unrecognizedThe vaginal drought is a problem very known of the women. They are 68% to have heard to speak to of it, mainly by the press (47%) then by their physician or gynecologist (22%). In spite of it, the origins appear to them less obvious. Globally, the hormonal reasons are evoked as well by the women while suffering (54%) that by those conscious of the problem (47%). Among the most quoted, one finds the menopause, the hormonal modifications and finally pregnancy. Then, the main accuseds are the psychological factors, the vaginal infections, stress and the medical treatments. Other reasons yet exist. Thus, the cigarette, the alcohol or a maladjusted intimate toilet can influence on the lubrication. A trouble whose women speak without tabooContrary to other intimate problems, the women approach the topic enough easily. More of 80% spoke of it thus around them: the big majority with their gynecologist or physician (72%) or in a least measure with their spouse (44%). Sign of a better communication within the couple at the youngest, the partner is the confidant at 56% of the less than 40 years. His reaction is positive majoritairement, since 63% estimate that it reacted well. One only counts 5% of negative returns. The theme of the vaginal drought is evoked more easily (for 85% of those that spoke to of it) that of other intimate topics as the sexual intercourse (67%), the intimate hygiene (64%), the MST (61%) or the incontinence (54%). But contrary to what one could believe, to approach the topic doesn't mean to take care of themselves as much. The majority treats themselves or is treated (64%), mainly with a lubricant product (68% among them). But 21% didn't consult or were not tidy, judging the temporary or minor problem.
Of the repercussions on the coupleYet, lived it physical and psychological is not insignificant. Thus, 43% of the victims speak of painful experience. The psychological repercussions are judged difficult for 44% among them. Two categories of women appear more sensitive: the suffering is returned more easily by the stressed women (55%) and those of less than 40 years (53%), all as the effects on the mental (returned respectively by 59% and 53%). A depressive state bound to the vaginal drought has even been evoked at 44% of the women. The pains during the reports are present for 85% among them, all as a decrease of the sexual activity (83%). As doctor Helen Jacquemin evokes it, "it is the water that makes life and it is why the word drought evokes the absence, the lack, the loss. It is especially true than to our time, health is synonymous of youth. What is sought-after that is the flexible, firm and full body of life as the tree is full of sap." Thus, 57% of the women estimate that this trouble was or is the reason of serious problems to the level of their couple. There those of less 40 years are concerned again, more. Among the women who don't treat themselves, more of 5% stopped having some sexual intercourse. The particular case of the women menopauseesThe menopause defines itself by the stop of the ovarian working with as consequence a deficiency in estrogenes responsible of the very known clinical signs (puffs of heat, take weight, cutaneous ageing, etc.). For hormonal reasons, the women ménopausées is the first concerned by the vaginal drought. They are thus more numerous to have heard to speak to of it. Even though lived it physical and psychological appears less heavy, they are nevertheless 80% to estimate that the vaginal drought provokes some pains during the sexual intercourse, as well as of the problems of couples (53%), a strong stress (39%) a depressive state (26%) or of the pains during the sporty practice (17%). Today, the sexual life of the women of more than 50 years are not more taboo and the unrests of the menopause are accepted less and less with resignation or fatalism. If the decline of the sexual desire can sometimes be satisfied with a hormonal explanation, it is more often the result of several factors. "One cannot speak of the sexuality to the menopause without evoking the previous sexuality. More this one will have been rich and in full bloom, more it will be easy to pass the cape of the menopause. To the inverse, the unsatisfied women will find in this event a pretext, an alibi to escape what they consider like an obligation", declare the Dr Jacquemin.  Exercising a professional and better activity more often aware that their eldests, the women of the "generation pill" wish to remain "to the bip" and sexually active. So that the pleasure subsistsIf the women ménopausées speaks of it comfortably with their physician (close to 80%), they appear more reticent to debate some with their spouse (only 37% against 44% for the set of the women). Yet, to speak of the vaginal drought can be also a way to recognize that the desire didn't die, that the sexuality exists and that a help can be necessary to feel the pleasure again. The knowledge more important of the phenomenon brings these women to take care of itself better (72% against 64% for the set of the women): 68% with a local treatment and 40% with medicines under prescription (mainly of the substitutive hormonal treatments). The menopause doesn't mark the end of the sexuality. This stage doesn't necessarily entail a loss of the desire. Some women can appear more free, of the pregnancy worry but also of their mother's role, the children having left the conjugal domicile. Arranging of more than time for the couple, some will know a renewal of sexual desire thus. Don't let your desire then more take water because of the vaginal drought. 2009-06-11
