I had a similar issue with severe vaginal dryness couple.of hears ago due to unrelated medical issues.
I happen to see an excellent Gyno who is also a reproductive endcorinologist that focuses on treating women with severe hormonal.issues so many suffer from that particular trouble and he suggested a treatmwnt that may sound very unorthodox BUT worked incredibly well.
My dryness was that bad that I was in a state of permanent thrush - no actual candida when they look under the microscope but constantly inflamed in pain broken skin and curdy looking discharge...
Well here comes the onorthodox solution : olive oil.
He told me to massage the olive oil.well into the wholenvaginal area and to massage internally as well. Not suggesting you pour it inside in any way shape or form. When you massage the ourside tour fingers will be pretty much soaked in it so you just then continue to massage the inside and the oil on the fingers is sufficient. He also suggested if I ever got bored of the exercise I should lwave that chore for hubby to do as most of the patients have reported their partners always happily voluntereed for the task.
I must admit I was shocked at the suggestion and even more when he laughed and said he even recvoments it as a lubricant during sex to all his patient with this problem so that we should feel free to use that in place of commercial lubricants.
All I can say the amoint of pain and constant discomfort I was in I definitely tried it. I religiously 'marinated' my netheregions in olive morning and night and apart from receiving instant relief from discomfort soon enougg the skin both inside and and vagina walls were better than I can remember them being in my 20s.
My.poor mum who has suffered from severe irritations since her radical hystorectomy tried doing the same and found it incredibly helpfull. Her internal dryness was even more extreme sommuch so that her vagina walls were cracking and bleeding from dryness so when she asked her gyno about trying this he told her not just to go ahead but to also soak a tampon in olive oil and then place it internally for 30 to 40 minutes while lying still each day.
Well soon enough mum was 'fixed' too.
That was back in 2012. I have gone from a lot of oain and discomfort and regular reliance on canestene due to severity of dryness to using olive oil for months twice daily then as thing were pretty perfect to pretty much using it only if I ever feel any dryness or discomfort. Coincidentally, never had incident or thruhs or irritation since.
BUT please note he did say just OLIVE oil and not other oils as apparently it also has antibacterial properties while no components that can cause irritation. And remember to keep it in a dark cabinet and sealed when not in use as you do not want it going rancid since that changes its healing properties.
And befoee anyone asks - any olive oil (makes no difference if 'virgin' or not)
