April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month!…but what even is adenomyosis?

Adenomyosis is when the cells in the lining of the uterus, the endometrium, grow into the muscle wall of the uterus, the myometrium. These endometrial cells damage the uterine wall and typically end up enlarging the uterus. It’s actually a fairly common condition and can affect around 1 in 10 women.

What kind of lubricant should you look for?

There are four main lubricants: water-based, silicone-based, hybrid (which mixes water and silicone), and oil-based. A good general rule for vaginal health is: less is often more when it comes to ingredients. Something else to consider is pH. Getting a lubricant that is balanced to the pH of the vagina, which is acidic, means that it will help maintain an environment suitable for the right microbiome. I’ve added some of my recommendations to the different categories.
