Brief Answer:
lack of vaginal secretions

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

The reason for dryness in vagina is due to lack of vaginal secretions. There are various mucus secreting glands in and around the vagina. These glands secrete fluids when a person is sexually oriented and aroused.

A good amount of foreplay before the actual act of intercourse, with similar sexual orientation among the couple is required for the vaginal glands to secrete fluids and lubricate the genital tract.

Similarly in the men as well. So, please discuss openly about these with your husband.

Good luck!
