It is known that vaginal dryness and an increased risk of vaginal or urinary tract infections occur more frequently during menopause as a result of hormonal changes. Women with diabetes have an even greater chance of these infections.
The most common vaginal infections are Bacterial Vaginosis and vaginal Candida (yeast) infections.
The cause is that due to the loss of natural estrogen, the acidity (pH) of the vagina decreases during menopause. As a result, bacteria and fungi can gain the upper hand and cause a vaginal infection. For more information, see: vaginal discharge.

As a result of invasive treatment such as:
Urinary Tract Infections:
These are usually caused by the intestinal bacterium E. coli. During the fertile years, the “acidic” vagina acts as a barrier between the intestinal tract and the urinary tract.
However, due to menopause, the vagina becomes less acidic, allowing these pathogens to more easily enter the urinary tract from the intestinal tract.
As the vaginal wall becomes thinner, it is easier for pathogens to take hold.
By using Premeno vaginal ovules or Hyalofemme vaginal gel, the vaginal wall becomes thicker again. For menopausal women with vaginal dryness, this is an ideal treatment to also prevent urinary tract infections.
