6. Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness is a common symptom experienced by women with Sjogren’s Syndrome, as the condition can affect the mucous membranes lining the vagina. This can result in discomfort during intercourse, itching, or burning sensations.
Vaginal dryness can have a significant impact on a woman’s sexual health and overall well-being. To manage this symptom, healthcare professionals may recommend over-the-counter lubricants or moisturizers designed specifically for vaginal use. These products can help alleviate discomfort and improve overall vaginal health.
In some cases, prescription treatments such as estrogen creams, rings, or tablets may be recommended to address severe vaginal dryness. It’s essential to discuss any concerns related to sexual health with a healthcare professional, as they can provide guidance on the most appropriate treatment options. (3)
