Phyto Soya® Vaginal Gel has been clinically proven to reactivate the vaginal mucosa, giving relief to painful intercourse, and protecting against inflammation and urinary infection.

Painful intercourse, a common symptom that comes with menopause, is caused by the decline in production of estrogen and progesterone as a woman enters menopause, which results in the tissue surrounding the vagina to progressively degenerate.

These tissues become thinner and less elastic, the vulva loses its adipose tissue and narrowing of the vagina starts to occur. All these symptoms contribute to making sexual intercourse painful, uncomfortable and subsequently, less appealing.

Sex itself is an aid to menopause-related problems, the more you make love, the more likely you are to maintain a high level of bodily secretions and blood flow to the genitals.

French clinical trials conducted by manufacturer Arkopharma, found that up to 70% of women in post menopause stage, who used Phyto Soya Vaginal Gel twice weekly, felt relief from painful intercourse. Women in the trial found that with regular use, the declining production of natural mucous secretions in the vagina was stimulated and reactivated.

After three weeks, natural secretions increase by almost 40% and moisture by 36%. The active ingredients in the gel are the isoflavones obtained from soya, which contain Daidzein and Genistein. Evidence suggests that isoflavones act by mimicking estrogen and binding to receptor sites on the cells. Phyto Soya® Vaginal Gel has an inhibitory action on collagenesis and other degradation enzymes. It presents anti-free radical and anti-oxidant action and also has anti-inflammatory properties, helping protect against inflammation and urinary infection - common secondary problems related to menopause.
