Managing Vaginal Soreness During Your Period for Better Comfort

Image
Experiencing vaginal soreness during your period? You're not alone—many face this discomfort from hormonal shifts like estrogen drops and prostaglandin surges, which heighten sensitivity and cause dryness or inflammation. Common causes include pelvic floor tension from cramps, friction from pads or tampons, cervical changes, or infections like yeast or BV.
