Pain during intercourse me and my partner are expierincing pain during intercourse im 88 he is 86.what could cause this

Because, : Because, at age 88 you are post menopausal your body has undergone physiologic changes. Female hormones decrease after menopause. This can lead to the vaginal tissue becoming drier, thinner and less flexible. Thus, the friction or force during intercourse can injure the tissues. Women sometimes have problems with bleeding, pain or a burning sensation. I suggest you talk with your doctor about ways to increase your lubrication. Sex lubricants can be helpful or sometimes your doctor might suggest a prescription medication. I hope this is helpful.
