Vitamin E enhances vaginal health
Retrospective Investigator-Initiated Trial on Tocopherol Acetate Vaginal Administration in Pre-and Postmenopausal Women.
Most Relevant Research
We examined how tocopherol acetate, commonly known as vitamin E, affects vaginal health in women experiencing menopause and those who are premenopausal. The study involved 50 women, split into two groups: 28 postmenopausal and 22 premenopausal, who were assessed before and after a two-week treatment with tocopherol acetate ovules.
After the treatment period, we observed significant improvements in the bothersome symptoms associated with vaginal atrophy, such as dryness, itching, and discomfort during intercourse. Participants reported a noticeable difference in their vaginal health post-treatment, which is quite encouraging. Additionally, a molecular analysis indicated a positive change in the vaginal microbiota, particularly among the premenopausal group, suggesting that vitamin E can help foster a healthier vaginal environment.
Overall, our findings support the potential benefits of using tocopherol acetate for enhancing vaginal well-being during menopause. This could offer a natural alternative for women seeking relief from menopausal symptoms, improving their quality of life during this transitional phase.

This vitamin has been beneficial during menopause, helping with hormonal deficiency and night awakenings. It reduces hot flashes and enhances sexual desire. I took a high dose twice a week, but consult a doctor before using it.
