Womenโs health experts have said that when a woman forgets to drink enough water, she risks having a dry vagina.
Sherry Ross, an expert in womenโs health, says when a woman doesnโt drink enough water, her vulva and the inside of her vagina are likely to be drier.
Vagina dryness makes sex painful, experts warn.
She notes that failing to drink enough water can also lead to itchiness, burning, and pain down below.
A spokesperson for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, Dr. Vanessa Mackay, says water intake is necessary for overall bodily function.
She says, โThe human body needs water or other fluids to function properly and to prevent dehydration.
โVaginal dryness is a common issue caused by all sorts of things, such as breastfeeding, childbirth, not being aroused before sex, contraception side-effects, and cancer treatment โ so itโs important we donโt explain it away by telling women to โjust drink more waterโ rather than tackling the root cause of the issue.โ
Mackay however notes that drinking plenty water is good for keeping the entire body running smoothly โ including the vagina.
