When to Use Silicone Based Lubricants in Gynecology?
Silicone based lubricants are particularly useful in certain gynecological contexts:
1. Vaginal Dryness: Patients experiencing vaginal dryness, particularly postmenopausal women or those on certain medications, may benefit from the long-lasting hydration silicone lubricants provide. 2. Dyspareunia: For patients experiencing painful intercourse, these lubricants can reduce friction and discomfort. 3. Pelvic Exams: They can be used during gynecological exams to ease the insertion of instruments. 4. Post-Surgical Care: Beneficial for patients recovering from gynecological surgeries to reduce discomfort during sex.
