Vitamin E in pregnancy for treatment of vaginal dryness

[Waqaswikii]

Hello. My wife is 28 years old, suffering from sever vaginal dryness, she is pregnant now. Please tell me that is vitamin E capsules ( like Evion 400 mg ) are safe to use by placing in vagina during pregnancy, and is it safe to use vitamin E capsule oil as sex lubricant in pregnancy. Thanks in anticipation.

I'm not a midwife so cannot say yes or no however, I would not be placing any thing in side her without contact a midwife first.

If you are struggling with dryness during intercourse, there are many safe lubricant's available to buy in supermarkets. This would probably be a much better solution for you & your wife.

Hi and welcome,

The instructions should tell you whether it can or cannot be used during pregnancy and if not contact the midwife or NHS helpline
