Vaginal dryness after postpill use is a fairly common issue. Hormonal emergency contraceptives like Postpill can temporarily affect estrogen levels, which may reduce natural vaginal lubrication.

Since you’ve stopped taking it and you’re still experiencing dryness, here are effective ways to improve vaginal lubrication:

🌿 Natural Remedies & Lifestyle Changes:

Increase foreplay – Arousal helps stimulate natural wetness.

Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water to help your body maintain natural moisture.

Manage stress – High stress or anxiety can lower arousal and impact lubrication.

Use a good water-based lubricant – It’s a quick and effective fix, especially during sex.

💊 Helpful Supplements for Vaginal Dryness:

Probiotics & Prebiotics – Found in yogurt, dark chocolate, and fermented foods to support vaginal health.

Vitamin E – Promotes tissue healing and moisture.

Vitamin D – Helps regulate hormones and reduce dryness.

Evening Primrose Oil – Known to support hormone balance.

If the dryness continues for several months, consider seeing a gynecologist to rule out any other hormonal imbalances or infections.

This form of vaginal dryness during sex can be caused by a few things:
