Answer by Bob J
Vaginal mucosal atrophy and vaginal dryness are signs of estrogen decline.

The most common cause of vaginal dryness is declining estrogen production, which leads to thinning and drying of the vaginal wall. Other factors that contribute to vaginal dryness include reduced muscle tone and the longer time needed for sexual arousal that is so common in perimenopause.

Emotional stress can cause vaginal dryness. Depression or being under tremendous amounts of stress contribute to the issue.

Also, vaginal dryness can be a side effect of underlying medical conditions, so it’s a good idea to check with your doctor for any underlying conditions.

Question by thbeatgozon69: My periods lately are much lighter than I usually experience. Is this perimenopause?
I have noticed that the past few months my periods are a little bit irregular as they sometimes start a few days earlier than anticipated, they are lighter, and last shorter than what I usually have. I also have been noticing more irritable moods and some brief blurry vision from out of nowhere. I’m wondering if I’m starting the transition into menopause…I’m 41 in case you’re wondering.
