Chemotherapy or radiation
As if a woman battling cancer isn’t dealing with enough, she might also find that her vagina dries up. Chemotherapy and radiation can damage the ovaries, explains Cancer Connect. It’s one reason many women choose to freeze their eggs before undergoing chemotherapy – they may struggle to produce healthy eggs afterwards. It also means that the ovaries struggle to produce adequate levels of estrogen and progesterone, leading to symptoms such as vaginal dryness. This drop in estrogen levels can also cause thin and more fragile vaginal tissue.
