I sure hope someone can help me! THis is something that has become very upsetting to me. I had the flu about 7 months ago, which during I noticed severe vaginal dryness (no moisture pretty much at all). I also can't get moisture even when being aroused. I ignored it at first thinking that things would go back to normal after a while not being sick but they still haven't. My gyno can't give me any answer, she says I seem completely healthy and doesn't know the reason, almost dismisses me. I feel like this could be a symptom of something bad being wrong with me that just hasn't been caught yet. I've never had this problm before. It's very uncomfortable and plus it is now causing problems in my relationship because I feel unwomanly because I have no moisture and don't want to ever have sex. Help! Please does anyone have an answer or experienced this before? :(

With Mum it was her thyroid which was preventing her from losing weight. Hormones can cause issues too though. A reproductive endocrinologist can sort out all your hormones - not just the reproductive ones.

A naturopath is a person that deals in natural medicine. Basically they work with you to find out all your problematic symptoms, and come up with an individualised program of natural medicines to help you. For instance, some herbs can help to stabilise your hormones, and various vitamins can help as well. Many people have had success with naturopaths, in various areas of health. In many cases, natural medicine can work hand in hand with conventional medicine.
