A dry vagina can be caused by a number of causes like a lack of stimulation, impending menopause, and the use of some kind of medication. The most common reasons for this condition are usually a lack of arousal and this can be confirmed by understanding the patterns of arousal and vaginal lubrication. The first step to helping your wife overcome this situation is to understand if she facing the onset of menopause or menopause itself. Menopause is the stage in a woman’s life when she is no longer fertile and her reproductive years are over. The changes that occur during menopause are myriad and include effects like hot flashes, changes in skin texture, and vaginal dryness. Menopause can be ascertained as a definite state if your wife has not menstruated recently and is over the age of 45. There is little that can be done in this stage except to use artificial lubricants.
The other causes of a dry vagina could be the use of certain types of drugs. Antihistamines are especially potent in this regard, as their main objective is to reduce mucus secretion in a certain area of the body that is inflamed. Unfortunately, many antihistamines that are consumed orally do not just act on the mucus membranes of an inflamed area but also affect the mucus membranes of any area of the body.
The most common cause of vaginal dryness however, and one that most men should seriously pay attention, to is a lack of appropriate arousal. This can be a touchy subject to deal with personally, as you might consider yourself an inadequate sexual partner in the process. However, this need not necessarily be true and all you need is to understand the biology of female arousal. The female human as well as the male human have many erogenous zones all over the body. Many of these zones actually only become erogenous zones in themselves when consciously switched on to sexual arousal. Therefore, this indicates that psychology plays a great deal in arousal. This simply means that you must understand what to do to make her feel comfortable enough to indulge in being aroused in the first place – this requires that you court her, as is the norm in nature. Remember that sexual intercourse is more of final release and the real substance of a good sex life lies in inciting arousal for a prolonged period of time.
