Atrophic vaginitis is inflammation of the vagina due to thinning tissue and decreased lubrication. It is related to reduced estrogen levels.
Causes
• Atrophic vaginitis is caused by a decrease in estrogen. Estrogen levels normally drop after menopause.
• Estrogen is very important in keeping the tissues of the vagina lubricated and healthy. Normally, the lining of the vagina makes a clear, lubricating fluid. This fluid makes sexual intercourse more comfortable and helps decrease vaginal irritation.Thinning or shrinking of the vaginal tissue causes dryness and inflammation.
Symptoms
• Burning on urination
• Light bleeding after intercourse
• Painful sexual intercourse causing a loss in sexual interest
• Slight vaginal discharge
• Vaginal soreness, including itching or burning sensations
