Noticed Inner Vaginal Lips Shrinking. What Can Be The Cause?

Brief Answer:
Vaginal lips shrinks due to low estrogen.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.

Shrinking of inner vaginal lips are due to low level of estrogen hormone. It is quite common in your age, particularly after menopause.

TREATMENT: Estrogen cream is the treatment of choice. It is to be applied locally (over the vaginal lips or labia minora) to get effective result. Kindly, consult with your gynecologist for one clinical examination and procure a complete prescription.

In addition, you would take antioxidant supplement (like Vitamin E, C) with your diet, drink more water/ fruit juice for better circulation, avoid chemical contacts or soap around genitalia, maintain personal hygiene.

Hope, it will be helpful to you. Let me know, if you need any clarification.

Wish your good health. Take care yourself.

Regards,
Dr Soumen
