Hi everybody,

I have a new patient who just made an appointment for next week with chief

complaint of Vaginal dryness since menopause. It has not responded to

Estrace cream. (her other chief complaint is hand/finger pain -- suspected

rhematoid arthritis.) While I have had success with other menopausal

patients, the vaginal dryness chief complaint is a first for me. Besides

just " treating the root " of whatever imbalances are presented, are there any

symptom-specific treatments I should try (TCM or non-TCM)?

 

Any suggestions would be much much appreciated. thank you!

If the dx of yin xu with fire is appropriate, zhi bai di huang wan

would be a good base.

Can add virgin coconut oil as vaginal suppository one at HS.

(buy a jar of oil. make the suppository yourself. just put it in the fridge

to solidify)

Will address the dryness instantly but need to do it for extended time.

Take also the oil po as supplement.

I use TropicalTraditions brand.It's authentic.

Take care.

i agree. i've had favorable results just by tx kid yin xu, without doing

anything special for the vag dryness sx. just addressing the

general pattern has eliminated the vag dryness symptom.

Use extra vessel points of the shao yang- tw5 and

gb41, needle cv 3, 4, 7 deep until the tip of the

needle hits the peritonium and manipulate the needle

at that level. Use ext, genital point in the ear near

shen men in the tri fossa. And treat the pattern, ie

yin def, blood def., stagnation, etc...You can use

high grade american ginseng tea for the dryness, In my

experience saffron is a powerful herb to arouse that

area and send more blood circulation.
