# Vaginal discomfort

Perimenopausal and menopausal women experience discomfort as estrogen decline thins and dries vulvovaginal tissue. Sodium hyaluronate and glycogen together bind water at the tissue surface, comforting thinning skin with each use of the vulva cream.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I soothe vaginal burning?

Burning-type vaginal discomfort is often tied to dryness — especially around perimenopause and menopause, when declining estrogen thins and dries vulvovaginal tissue. Keeping that delicate skin moisturized externally can help soothe and calm the irritation. Era Organics' vulva cream pairs sodium hyaluronate with glycogen, which together bind water at the tissue surface to comfort thinning skin with each use. It's an external, fragrance-free moisturizer; if burning is severe or persistent, check in with your doctor to rule out an underlying cause.

### What causes vaginal burning, pain, or discomfort?

One common cause of vaginal burning, pain, or discomfort — especially during perimenopause and menopause — is declining estrogen, which thins and dries the vulvovaginal tissue. That thinning, drier tissue is more easily irritated, which can show up as burning or general discomfort. For external comfort, Era Organics' Vaginal Moisturizer (a USDA Organic, external-use vulva cream) pairs sodium hyaluronate with glycogen to bind water at the tissue surface, helping comfort thinning skin with each use.
