Vaginal dryness is a concern for many menopausal women. In this video, Dr. Andrew Rubman, naturopathic physician and author of Bottom Line’s “Nature Doc’s Patient Diary” blog, suggests a short-term and a long-term solution for vaginal dryness. First, he recommends women use squalene, an effective lubricant and moisturizer, if vaginal dryness is making them uncomfortable or if they plan to be intimate. For a longer term solution, Dr. Rubman recommends DHEA vaginal suppositories, which help replace vaginal lubrication. DHEA is a hormone precursor that creates estrogen but does not affect circulating levels of this hormone, so it is completely safe for women.
