Dryness is the main cause of pain during sex and the female private parts may feel itchy. Dr. Samuel Matovu of Ndejje health IV says that dryness is sometimes a symptom of virginal illness, irritation, and wounds inside the woman’s parts. He says that the woman’s private parts may become dry when she is tired, bored, on tension, and when she is over stressed.

Stress among other issues raised makes women private parts thinner and less elastic. Dr. Matovu also says that the use of contraceptives also weaken the cells that are responsible for producing fluids in the woman’s private parts. Genital damage that could be caused by childbirth is another reason that sometimes causes dryness. Dr. Matovu says that other factors that cause dryness could be candida, virginal surgery, diabetes dehydration and gastric ulcers. Watch this space for solutions soon.
