A woman can suffer from vaginal dryness at any age, but the problem is usually associated only with menopause. Why? Because at that time of life, estrogen levels drop and one of estrogen's roles is to keep the lining of the vagina moist and healthy. In addition to menopause, vaginal dryness can also be associated with breastfeeding or taking oral contraceptives.
