Vaginal Dryness Treatment Singapore

Vaginal dryness is a common concern that may cause irritation, discomfort, or pain during intimacy. It often arises during hormonal changes such as menopause, postpartum recovery, or after certain medical treatments. While sometimes overlooked, dryness can affect confidence, comfort, and quality of life.

Asimont Clinic’s focus is in the field of medical aesthetics. As part of our broader medical group, care for vaginal dryness is available through our affiliated clinics: Motherlove, Motherlove GP, and our gynaecology specialist clinic. These centres provide discreet, effective, and evidence-based treatment options to restore hydration, improve mucosal tone, and support long-term wellbeing.
Understanding the Impact of Hormonal Decline on Vaginal Tissue

What is Vagina Dryness (Atrophic Vaginitis)?

Vaginal dryness refers to reduced natural moisture and elasticity in the vaginal lining. Often associated with declining oestrogen levels, the condition may lead to thinning, inflammation, or discomfort of the vaginal walls. Known medically as atrophic vaginitis, it may develop during:

• Menopause or perimenopause
• Postpartum or breastfeeding periods
• Use of certain medications, such as hormonal therapies
• Following radiation or surgical treatment affecting reproductive organs

Vaginal dryness may affect women at any age and is often manageable with appropriate care.
