After childbirth, oestrogen levels decline naturally and women who breastfeed have high levels of prolactin that can suppress oestrogen production. Decreased oestrogen levels can cause urogenital atrophy, vaginal dryness being one of the symptoms along with itching, burning, irritation and painful sex. This lack of oestrogen may also cause urinary symptoms such as urgency and frequency. The regular use of YES VM vaginal moisturiser to gently re-hydrate vaginal tissue will help alleviate these symptoms. In addition, using YES WB or YES OB lubricants for sex can ease discomfort and enhance pleasure.
