Drinking water, eating a lot of fruit improve the situation of 'dryness'?

Recently I have vaginal dryness despite drinking water and eating a lot of vegetables and fruits. Am I reaching the age of hormonal decline, should I take hormone supplements myself? (Nha Nam, 36 years old).

Answer:

At the age of 36, women have not yet reached perimenopause - menopause, but at this time, hormone levels in the body begin to decline at a faster rate. Pressure from life can cause you to have the above situation, which needs to be overcome as soon as there are signs.

Entering the period of perimenopause - menopause, with the impact of time, the brain - pituitary - ovary axis system works to decline. This will affect the amount of hormones in the body. When the hormonal balance is out of balance, it is time for women to face symptoms such as menstrual disorders, hot flashes, decreased libido, mood changes, and vaginal dryness.

To improve this situation at the root, there must be a solution that has a strong impact on the axis system - where it commands and coordinates important hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone in accordance with the body's needs. Therefore, drinking a lot of water, eating cool foods with vegetables and fruits as you mentioned cannot solve the drought related to pre-menopausal factors - menopause, the diet only has a supportive effect.
