Vagisan MoistCream is a smooth, white cream developed for use in symptoms of vaginal dryness. Vagisan MoistCream contains no hormones (oestrogens) and can therefore be used alongside hormone replacement therapy or during the menopause with vaginal creams or pessaries that do contain hormones (oestrogen). Thanks to the addition of lactic acid, the cream is set at a pH of 4.5. As a result, Vagisan MoistCream helps maintain a natural pH within the vagina.
Two effects contribute towards the relief of symptoms of vaginal dryness by Vagisan MoistCream:
  • The cream has a high water content, thereby moisturising the skin within the vagina and external genital area.
  • Nourishing lipids (fats) keep the skin supple. Regular use of Vagisan MoistCream can help prevent irritation and inflammation within the vagina and external genital area.
What you should know about the symptoms of “vaginal dryness”

The cream can also be used for vaginal dryness before sexual intercourse, in principle with latex condoms. In women wishing to conceive, there are no contraindications to using Vagisan MoistCream for vaginal dryness, as sperm motility is not impaired.
The symptoms of vaginal dryness can severely affect the quality of life of those women affected.
The sensation of dryness is often accompanied by other discomfort, such as itching, stinging or soreness involving the vagina, vaginal entrance and external genital area. In many cases, these symptoms also make sexual intercourse painful.
Particularly affected are women in the menopause (which, in some cases, starts as early as at 40 years of age) and during the years thereafter.
In such cases, vaginal dryness is caused by the decreasing production of sex hormones (including oestrogen). Less vaginal fluid is produced within the vagina; the skin becomes thinner and more fragile. Whilst this process is quite normal, it can bring considerable discomfort.
After womb or ovarian surgery, during pregnancy and breast-feeding or while taking the Pill, hormone deficiency/fluctuations or hormonal imbalance can also lead to symptoms of vaginal dryness.
Some metabolic disorders (e.g. diabetes), medications, radiation treatment for cancer and even stress can also be associated with dryness in the internal and external genital area.
