Do these symptoms sound familiar?

Brain fog, fatigue, and mood changes during perimenopause and menopause are real — and treatable. Susan has helped hundreds of women in Boca Raton feel like themselves again.

Vaginal dryness is one of the most common — and least talked about — symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. In this video, Susan Winograd, MSPT of Pelvicore Rehab & Wellness, breaks down the difference between immediate symptom relief and long-term tissue repair, and what you actually need for both.

Key Takeaways

  • Vaginal dryness during menopause is caused by declining estrogen, which causes tissues to thin, lose elasticity, and become irritated
  • There are two distinct approaches: immediate symptom relief and long-term tissue restoration
  • Vaginal moisturizers provide fast relief but do not repair tissue
  • Hyaluronic acid moisturizers are especially effective — they draw moisture to the tissues for near-immediate relief
  • Topical estrogen cream can actually reverse genitourinary symptoms of menopause over time — talk to your healthcare provider
  • Topical estrogen takes at least 3 months of consistent use to work — stick with it
  • What is common is not normal — you don’t have to live with vaginal dryness

Hyaluronic Acid for Vaginal Dryness

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that draws moisture to tissues and plumps them up. When used in a vaginal moisturizer, it can provide near-immediate relief from dryness and irritation. It works the same way topical hyaluronic acid works on facial skin — hydrating and restoring a healthy moisture balance.

Topical Estrogen Cream and GSM

Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) is the clinical term for the range of vaginal and urinary symptoms caused by estrogen loss during menopause. Symptoms include vaginal dryness, irritation, reduced elasticity, and urinary issues. Evidence-based research now supports topical estrogen cream as a safe and effective treatment that can actually repair and restore vaginal tissue over time. Speak with your healthcare provider to find out if it’s right for you.
