Menopause and Vaginal Dryness: Why Revaree Might Be the Relief You’re Looking For

What is Menopause?

Menopause describes a biological development in which the monthly periods a woman experiences cease to exist. It is confirmed after a year of not experiencing menstruation, usually occurring in the early to mid-fifties but there are some individual differences. This transition is not sudden; it evolves year by year, first starting with premenopausal stage where there is hormonal fluctuation that happens.

The most defining feature of menopause is the drop in estrogen levels. Those hormones facilitate the menstrual cycle, aid in reproductive functions, as well as influence the well-being of the skin, bones, heart, brain and specifically the vaginal and urinary tissues.

Common Symptoms of Menopause

While menopause is a normal part of aging, the symptoms that come with it can significantly affect a woman’s quality of life. These include:

  • Hot flashes
  • Night sweats
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Mood swings and irritability
  • Fatigue
  • Cognitive changes (“brain fog”)
  • Decreased libido
  • Vaginal dryness
  • Painful intercourse
  • Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
  • Vaginal atrophy (thinning and inflammation of the vaginal walls)

Vaginal Dryness: One of the Most Overlooked Symptoms

What Causes Vaginal Dryness?

Among the lesser-discussed but highly distressing symptoms of menopause is vaginal dryness. As estrogen levels drop, the vaginal tissues become thinner, less elastic, and less lubricated. This can make the vagina feel dry, itchy, or irritated, and can lead to discomfort during sexual activity or even daily movement.

Other contributing factors to vaginal dryness include:

  • Childbirth and breastfeeding
  • Smoking
  • Certain medications (like antihistamines, antidepressants, or chemotherapy)
  • Surgical menopause (removal of ovaries)
  • Radiation therapy or cancer treatments
  • Stress and anxiety

Symptoms and Impact

Vaginal dryness doesn’t just affect physical comfort. It has emotional, relational, and psychological effects as well:

  • Burning, itching, or irritation in the vaginal area
  • Discomfort or pain during sex (dyspareunia), which can lead to avoidance and relationship tension
  • Post-coital bleeding due to thinning vaginal walls
  • Loss of confidence or body image issues
  • Increased risk of UTIs, which can become recurrent
  • Reduced desire or pleasure during intimacy

The impact of vaginal dryness often goes beyond physical symptoms — it can disrupt relationships, emotional intimacy, and self-esteem. Many women also suffer in silence due to embarrassment or lack of awareness that help is available.

Symptoms and Impact

There are several approaches to managing vaginal dryness. These range from over-the-counter solutions to prescription therapies, including:

  • Used before and during sexual activity

  • Provide temporary relief

  • Do not address tissue health or long-term dryness

  • Water-based, silicone-based, or oil-based options

  • Used regularly (every 2–3 days)

  • Help maintain moisture in the vaginal lining

  • Non-hormonal and available over the counter

  • Creams, tablets, or vaginal rings

  • Restore local estrogen levels

  • Promote vaginal wall healing and moisture

  • Not suitable for everyone (e.g., breast cancer survivors)

  • Affects the whole body

  • May relieve many menopausal symptoms

  • Has risks and benefits that must be assessed individually

  • Promote collagen regeneration

  • Still under study for long-term safety and effectiveness

  • Often costly and not covered by insurance

Introducing Revaree: A Non-Hormonal, Evidence-Based Solution

Revaree which is free of hormones has hyaluronic acid (HA) as an ingredient which the body produces naturally in the skin and connective tissues what is known for holding in moisture and which also aids in repair processes.

At bedtime, Revaree is placed vaginally, it dissolves during the night, which causes it to release the hyaluronic acid right to the vaginal tissue. This in turn will hydrate the vaginal wall, repair microtears, and over time improve tissue elasticity.

How Does Hyaluronic Acid Work?

Hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it an exceptional hydrating agent. In dermatology, it’s widely used to treat wounds and improve skin elasticity. In the vaginal environment, it plays a similar role:

  • Rehydrates dry and fragile tissue
  • Promotes healing of minor abrasions and inflammation
  • Restores suppleness and comfort
  • Reduces itching, burning, and discomfort

Benefits of Revaree

  • Non-Hormonal – Ideal for women who cannot or choose not to use estrogen, such as those with a history of hormone-sensitive cancers.
  • Clinically Proven – Studies have shown that hyaluronic acid inserts like Revaree are effective in reducing dryness, irritation, and pain during intercourse.
  • Simple to Use – Insert 2–5 times per week, preferably before bed. The insert dissolves on its own and works overnight.
  • Restores Confidence and Intimacy – By easing discomfort, Revaree helps women feel more confident and return to intimacy with ease.
  • Minimal Risk of Side Effects – Revaree is generally well-tolerated. Unlike hormonal treatments, it doesn’t carry risks like blood clots or breast tenderness.
  • Available Without a Prescription – Revaree can be ordered online, making it convenient and discreet.

What Do Healthcare Providers Say?

Gynecologists and women’s health practitioners often recommend hyaluronic acid-based products as a first-line or adjunct therapy for women experiencing vaginal dryness, especially when estrogen is not an option.

Revaree is backed by peer-reviewed studies and FDA-cleared for safety as a Class II medical device.

Is Revaree Right for You?

Revaree may be the right choice if:

  • You are postmenopausal or perimenopausal
  • You’re experiencing vaginal dryness, itching, or pain
  • You want a hormone-free treatment
  • You prefer discreet, at-home use
  • You’ve tried lubricants or moisturizers with limited relief

While Revaree is available without a prescription, it’s always a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider before starting a new product, especially if you have a medical condition or are taking medications.
