Pflanzliche Begleiterinnen in einen neuen Lebensabschnitt

Summary

Die Scheidengesundheit hängt von einigen Faktoren ab, beispielsweise beeinflussen Östrogene die vaginale Schleimhaut. In den Wechseljahren sinkt unter anderem der Östrogenspiegel, dadurch kann es zu Beschwerden wie trockener Vaginalschleimhaut kommen. Die Phytotherapie bietet verschiedene Möglichkeiten, um Beschwerden der Vaginalschleimhaut in den Wechseljahren zu lindern.
