Vagisan MoistCream is a hormone-free cream against vaginal dryness. It is safe to be used alongside the treatment of breast cancer and its aftercare.

In most cases hormonal changes is the cause for vaginal dryness. During menopause the level of estrogens decreases, which is a completely normal process. The decrease of estrogens may have various consequences, including vaginal dryness. Due to the low levels of estrogens the whole genital tract shrinks and loses part of its elasticity, the skin becomes thinner and more fragile.

As a consequence, less fluid is produced in the vagina. Ultimately these processes may lead to a feeling of vaginal dryness. Using Vagisan MoistCream to provide soothing lipids and moisture is recommended.

Usually occurring during menopause as a result of changes to the hormonal constitution due to normal ageing. Less vaginal fluid is produced in the vagina and the skin becomes thinner and more fragile. Even younger women can experience vaginal dryness, e.g. after uterine or ovarian surgery, after birth or during breastfeeding, or when taking the pill. Furthermore, some medications and even stress can also be associated with dryness in the internal and external genital area. Vagisan MoistCream provides moisture and soothing lipids. Therefore it relieves discomfort and itching.

A water based lubricant has a short-term effect, which is only aiming at facilitating sexual intercourse via the reduction of friction. Thus, it needs to be applied directly before sexual intercourse. But it can make vaginal dryness even worse.

Vagisan MoistCream does not only contain high water content but also nourishing lipids.

The cream can be applied in the external or internal area, even before intercourse.

Razor burn or little cuts can be reduced by using shaving cream or Vagisan Wash Lotion before using the razor on your skin. Shave in the direction of hair growth.

Vaginal discharge is normal and is part of the natural protective and self-cleaning system of the vagina. However, unusual discharge may be a sign of a vaginal infection.

It is not possible to answer this question in general but it must be answered on an individual basis, best with the help of a medical professional. Every woman has a natural vaginal smell, that can change with her menstrual cycle. This is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about. But to feel more fresh in the intimate are, a special mild cleanser can be used, e.g. Vagisan Intimate Wash Lotion. The lotion cleanses gently the external intimate area and can be used on a daily basis as it is very well tolerated.

The vagina (inside) has a strong natural protective system, including the vaginal flora. This system has self-cleaning properties and it is not recommended to disturb the vaginal flora, e.g. with vaginal douches. However, the vulva (outside) may be washed (not more than) once or twice daily with a mild wash-lotion, e.g. Vagisan Intimate Wash Lotion. First moisten the area, then apply a thumb-sized amount directly into your hand or washcloth, and distribute on the external vaginal area. Rinse after this.
