Estrogen cream: Hi, Estrogen cream has been successful in combating vaginal dryness. The two main ones on the market are Premarin (conjugated estrogens) cream and Estrace. Premarin (conjugated estrogens) is made from horse urine and Estrace is made from mexican yams, (really). The urologists I know prefer Estrace, it has less skin irritation. Good luck.

Different options: Hi,Dry vagina in post menopausal women is called atrophic vaginitis.It is due to lack of estrogens & can be treated with a ring that is inserted and changed every 3months or by estrogen cream placed with an applicator or by estrogen vaginal tablets. Another option is using a lubricant such as KY jelly or Astroglide at the time of having sex. Talk to your doctor about the estrogen option.
