The Science of Female Lubrication

Normally, the walls of the vagina stay lubricated with a thin layer of clear fluid. The hormone estrogen helps maintain that fluid and keeps the lining of the vagina healthy, thick, and elastic. Women may experience vaginal dryness for a number of reasons, such as childbirth, breastfeeding, chemotherapy, radiation, allergies, douching, lack of foreplay before intercourse, anxiety, and menopause. More serious chronic and progressive syndromes linked to vaginal dryness such as Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) may be best addressed by sex steroid replacement therapy. Treatment approaches need to take into account the level of pain/discomfort and the causes.

This copy is great for the full page on Health and Lubrication but its not gonna get people to want to read more – need to be funnier – more irreverent on the homepage
