Vaginal dryness and perimenopause.
Dryness, irritation, or discomfort in the vaginal tissues, including during sex. One of the most clearly hormone-driven symptoms in the transition. Vaginal tissue depends on estrogen for its thickness, lubrication, and elasticity, and all three fall together as estrogen does.

How Primrose & Eve tracks vaginal dryness
Primrose & Eve lets you log vaginal dryness in two taps, with a five-point severity scale and optional trigger tags — stress, caffeine, alcohol, poor sleep, exercise, heat, food. After three weeks of logging, the app's pattern engine identifies what is making your symptoms better or worse, using the same statistical tests epidemiologists use. Those findings go into a clinical briefing your doctor can read and act on in the time you actually have with them.

What is vaginal dryness in perimenopause?
Dryness, irritation, or discomfort in the vaginal tissues, including during sex. One of the most clearly hormone-driven symptoms in the transition. Vaginal tissue depends on estrogen for its thickness, lubrication, and elasticity, and all three fall together as estrogen does.
Is vaginal dryness a recognized perimenopause symptom?
Yes. Vaginal dryness is one of 34 named symptoms in the perimenopause transition. It is documented by ACOG, Mayo Clinic, Office on Women's Health.
How can I track vaginal dryness during perimenopause?
Primrose & Eve is designed for exactly this. Log vaginal dryness in two taps each day, and after a few weeks the app identifies patterns: whether certain triggers make it worse, whether it clusters at a particular time of day, and how it is trending over time. Everything goes into a GP Report — a clinical briefing you can share with your doctor.
