Menopause
Feminine hygiene advice for menopausal women
Menopause often comes with dryness of both the internal and external genital mucosa. Using an appropriate hygiene product can help to reduce the discomfort.
- At most, wash morning and night
- Even in case of irritations, do not increase the frequency of washing
- Use soothing products
- Do not use antiseptic products on a daily basis
- Do not douche
- Do not apply just any cream in case of irritation
- Do not wear undergarments made of synthetic fabrics
