  • Loss of tone  : The labia minora and majora become less swollen and more flabby, due to the decrease in connective tissue.
  • Pubic Hair Changes  : Like head hair,  pubic hair turns white  over time.
  • Increased sensitivity  : The mucous membrane of the vestibule, similar to that of the vagina, becomes drier, more fragile and prone to  microfissures .

Prevent and alleviate inconveniences

Fortunately, there are several solutions that can help limit this discomfort and preserve the health of this intimate area.

  1. Local hormonal treatment

Estrogens, administered in the form of ovules, creams or tablets, can  restore hydration and elasticity  to the mucous membranes. They are recommended if the patient has no history of breast cancer.

  1. Lubricants and gentle care

  • Use  intimate lubricants  to reduce friction during intercourse.
  • Adopt  gentle intimate hygiene  with non-irritating products.
