What is Vaginal Atrophy?

Our hormone levels change as we move through the various phases of life and fluctuate from time to time. During the menopause, there is a significant drop in estrogen levels. Blood flow to the vaginal region therefore decreases significantly. This causes the skin to become thinner and more likely to tear. One in three women is affected by vaginal atrophy during menopause.

What is an astringent?

Astringent is a gel formulated to retain some of the vaginal mucosa, with components that promote the narrowing, contraction and reduction of the tissues of the vaginal canal. This action aims to restore the feeling of virginity, allowing the women to feel more intensely the friction between the penis and vagina during sexual intercourse.
