Menopause & Sex. Your Questions Answered by Internal Specialist, Dr Mera

Sex has become painful since menopause. What can I do?

The pain you are experiencing during sex is may be due to vaginal dryness associated with declining estrogen levels during menopause. Talk to your doctor about possible causes of painful intercourse. There are a number of lubricants you can try to relieve the symptoms. Ask your doctor for a suggestion. There are also local estrogen treatments — cream, tablets, and an estrogen ring — that treat vaginal dryness. A oral drug taken once a day, Osphena, is also available. The drug makes vaginal tissue thicker and less fragile, resulting in less pain for women during sex.
