  1. Dryness and Menstruation:

    • Dryness is not a typical symptom directly caused by menstruation.
    • Hormonal fluctuations, especially changes in estrogen levels, can lead to vaginal dryness at different times in the cycle.
  2. Key Considerations:

    • Vaginal Dryness: May occur before or after periods but is often linked to menopause, breastfeeding, or medications.
    • During Periods: Increased discharge and bleeding usually result in more moisture, not dryness.
  3. When to Seek Help:

    • If dryness is accompanied by discomfort, itching, or pain, consider other causes like infections or allergies.
    • Consult a healthcare provider if dryness is persistent or bothersome.
  4. Self-Care Tips:

    • Use gentle, fragrance-free hygiene products.
    • Avoid irritants to maintain comfort.
