@oliver Hello, vagina needs to stay healthy and lubricated and it does this by producing a fluid to keep the area moist. Oestrogen is the hormone that allows your body to create a fluid that lines the vagina to keep it lubricated. This fluid should be thick and elastic and help the vagina to clean itself and stay healthy. Women’s hormones have more of an effect on the body than you may realize, and a lack of oestrogen could be the reason you’re experiencing vaginal dryness. If you aren’t producing enough oestrogen, your body cannot create enough of this lubricating fluid, which can lead to dryness and irritation. Vaginal dryness can be caused by Breastfeeding, Menopause, and medicines like contraceptives and antidepressants.

@isabella Yes, vaginal wash does cause vaginal dryness. before puberty, until after menopause, it is normal and healthy for a woman to produce a vaginal discharge, consisting of bacteria and desquamated epithelial cells that slough from the vaginal walls together with mucus and fluid produced by the cervix and vagina. The quantity and texture of this change during the menstrual cycle: vaginal discharge is thick, sticky, and hostile to sperm at the beginning and end of the menstrual cycle when estrogen is low and gets progressively clearer, watery, and more stretchy as estrogen levels rise prior to ovulation. Overwashing the vulva cleaning it more than once per day can irritate it and harm its health, and that in cleaning this part of the body. It would be best to consult a doctor for help.
