When to Use EpiGyn®
Vulvar discomfort is much more common than we realize. A recent study revealed that 14 million American women have experienced vulvar discomfort during their lives. And that number may be underestimated!
Some of the typical symptoms of discomfort are pain with sex (known as Dyspareunia), sensitivity to touch, itching, burning, redness, and dryness.
EpiGyn® Intimate Calming Cream is gentle enough for genital skin and may be used for the following conditions:
- When taking oral contraceptives
- Postpartum
- Perimenopause
- Menopause
- When undergoing breast cancer treatment
- Post vulvovaginal procedures including laser therapy or surgery
- When undergoing treatment for Vulvodynia, Lichen Sclerosus,
Lichen Planus or other vulvar disorders
When taking oral contraceptives
Recent clinical research strongly suggests that oral contraceptives affect the vulva. In fact, this research shows that the pill causes the skin of the vulva to become dry and thin. These changes are similar to the changes that occur after menopause. Those using the pill experience the same issues as older women and frequently complain about discomfort affecting intimacy and self-esteem.
Postpartum
Hormones drop sharply following child birth. The low estrogen levels associated with breast-feeding and general postpartum recovery can result in the impaired barrier function of the vulvovaginal area. Estrogen is important for optimal barrier functioning and a daily moisture cream such as EpiGyn® Intimate Soothing cream may help replenish moisture.
Perimenopause
During perimenopause, less estrogen causes the tissues of the vulva and the lining of the vagina to become thinner, drier, and less elastic or flexible. This condition is known as “vulvovaginal atrophy”. Additionally, vaginal secretions are reduced, resulting in decreased lubrication and affects a woman’s overall wellness.

Menopause
Menopause has a profound effect on the female genitalia. Menopause decreases estrogen production causing the vulvovaginal area to become dry, sensitive and fragile. This often brings about discomfort and affects intimacy since dry, fragile vulvovaginal tissues are susceptible to injury, tearing, and bleeding during intercourse.

Post vulvovaginal procedures including laser therapy or surgery
Many women experience changes in their genitalia as they go through life stages such as childbearing, illness, menopause and aging. These changes have an impact on a woman’s quality of life as they often face issues such as atrophic vaginitis, vulvovaginal laxity, urinary incontinence and the loss of vaginal lubrication. As a result, many women opt for laser therapy or surgery. Vulvar discomfort, itching, burning, dryness or aching often follows these procedures.
When undergoing treatment for Vulvodynia, Lichen Sclerosus, Lichen Planus or other vulvar disorders
Vulvodynia, Lichen Sclerosus and Lichen Planus need medical attention. Medical treatments for these disorders exist as prescribed by your physician. EpiGyn® can be used in combination with these treatments as adjunct or maintenance care of the vulva.
