Did you get the green light?

You may feel ready – you may not – but after your hysterectomy you must not participate in intimate physical activities until the doctor gives you the green light.

There are internal stitches at the top of your vagina that need to heal and may get infected if anything is introduced into the healing environment.

Your doctor may have called it “Pelvic rest”.

When the doctor does clear you, consider using personal lubricant like Genneve Lubricant or Genneve Intimate Moisture.

Take time to heal.

Vaginal Dryness? We have an answer!

Vaginal dryness is not an easy topic to discuss. Diminishing estrogen levels are usually the main culprit because it is estrogen that produces a layer of moisture that keeps the vaginal tissues healthy and elastic. If there is not enough estrogen as a result of menopause, hormonal changes, or health issues, you may experience vaginal dryness.

You may be experiencing mild irritation, itching or burning and even pain with intercourse. Your tissues can even become brittle, causing light spotting or bleeding which are all symptoms of vaginal dryness.

What is the answer to vaginal dryness?

First, discuss your symptoms with your doctor and consider using some form of estrogen therapy to treat your vaginal dryness.

Secondly, try a vaginal moisturizer like our favorite Genneve Comfort and use a personal lubricant like Genneve Personal Lubricant.
