Inadequate Vaginal Lubrication Preceding and During Intercourse

Inadequate vaginal lubrication preceding and during intercourse is a common condition that can cause discomfort, pain, and even bleeding. This lack of lubrication is typically caused by insufficient natural lubrication production in the body due to hormonal changes or medications, age, low libido, menopause, and other medical or psychological conditions. When not properly treated, inadequate vaginal lubrication can lead to increased risks of developing infections, discomfort in sexual activity, and difficulty having pleasurable intercourse. To reduce pain and discomfort, many products, including lubricants and hormonal treatments, are available to help manage inadequate vaginal lubrication. Upon addressing the underlying cause, women may find that they are better able to enjoy intercourse and the overall sexual experience.
