You might have a severe type of vaginal atrophy. It may take a little longer time for recovery.
To better help you find relief, we recommend the following:
- Continue using NeuEve Silk suppositories plus the NeuEve cream.
- Take calcium and vitamins D3+K2. Most women develop osteoporosis after menopause due to calcium deficiency. At the same time, their mucus glands also dry out. Calcium is needed not only for bones but also for mucus secretion. Vitamins D3 & K2 help calcium to be taken up by bones.
- Take sea buckthorn oil. It helps you to revive dried mucus glands. You can find this supplement in your local drugstores or online.
- Do dilation exercise. It stretches the tissue and helps to regain elasticity. You can find a set of vaginal dilators from our website: www.neueve.com/dilators.
Tips for Using Dilators Safely and Effectively
- Gradual Progression: It can be tempting to move up quickly in dilator sizes or start with the largest size in hopes of speeding up the process. However, this approach may be counterproductive and lead to overstretching injuries. Vaginal recovery is a gradual process. It's important to be patient and increase dilator sizes step-by-step to avoid potential injuries.
- Hygiene and UTI Prevention: Using a dilator can be physically similar to sexual intercourse, where the movement can potentially transfer bacteria from the skin into the bladder, leading to a urinary tract infection (UTI). To minimize this risk, it's advisable to urinate immediately after each dilation session. This helps flush out any bacteria that may have entered the bladder. Additionally, drinking plenty of water before your exercise can help maintain adequate urinary flow and pressure, further aiding in the prevention of UTIs.
By following these guidelines, you can ensure a safer and more comfortable experience with dilator exercises.
