Around 50% of postmenopausal women experience vaginal atrophy


Vaginal atrophy involves a thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls and tissues.


Also known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM), vaginal atrophy is a condition that occurs due to a decrease in oestrogen levels, primarily during and after menopause. Oestrogen is a hormone that plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and function of the vaginal and urogenital tissues, so a decrease causes changes in our vaginal health.


1 in 2 postmenopausal women experience vaginal dryness, itching or uncomfortable sex.


But it’s not something that women talk about very often.

How does Gina work?


Gina is a small vaginal tablet that comes in a pre-loaded applicator which delivers a low dose of oestrogen directly to the vaginal wall, to treat the underlying cause of vaginal dryness.

Gina is clinically proven to work by restoring your vaginal health.

Improving flexibility and elasticity, helping replenish moisture, and restoring vaginal tissue.


It works by applying a small amount of oestrogen directly to the vagina, treating the cause of vaginal dryness, to help it feel how it was before the menopause. Gina starts to rebalance pH levels in the vagina after 2 weeks. Symptom relief can be felt after 8 weeks.


Gina can continue to work as long as it is used because it replaces oestrogen. If treatment stops, oestrogen will gradually decline and symptoms may return. Gina can be used as long as you and your pharmacist agree it's helping. You should discuss this with your pharmacist every 3 months.


Vaginal oestrogen is recommended as an effective treatment for VA by respected organisations such as NICE, the British Menopause Society and the International Menopause Society.

What causes vaginal atrophy?

Vaginal atrophy involves a thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls and tissues.

This can lead to a range of uncomfortable and bothersome symptoms, including:


  1. Vaginal Dryness: Reduced estrogen levels can result in decreased vaginal lubrication, leading to dryness and discomfort, particularly during sexual activity.
  2. Vaginal Irritation and Itching: The delicate tissues of the vagina can become more sensitive and prone to irritation and itching.
  3. Painful Intercourse: Vaginal dryness and thinning of the tissues can cause pain, discomfort, and even bleeding during sexual intercourse.
  4. Urinary Symptoms: Vaginal atrophy can also affect the urinary tract, leading to symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequency, and incontinence.
  5. Changes in Vaginal pH: Estrogen helps maintain the natural acidity (pH) of the vaginal environment. A decrease in estrogen can alter the pH, making the vaginal area more susceptible to infections.
  6. Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: The changes in vaginal pH and tissue integrity can increase the risk of urinary tract infections.

It's important to note that vaginal atrophy can affect women of various ages, not just those going through menopause.

Certain medical conditions, medications, and treatments (such as breast cancer treatments that reduce oestrogen levels) can also contribute to vaginal atrophy.
