How To Treat Vaginal Dryness During Sex?
Hi,
I am a 21 year old female.
Since last August, I have been experiencing vaginal dryness during sex. I can get wet during foreplay but when It comes to sex I go very dry, making sex impossible.
The reason I am only seeking help now is that the relationship i was in turned into a long distance relationship and then we split up so I was not having sex regularly. It has happened with my ex boyfriend, both casual partners and my current boyfriend.
I am otherwise healthy and have regular periods.
