A member asked:
Vaginal pain during relations, could it be a menopausal side effect? what else could it be? the patient is 53 year old female.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly menopausal : Estrogen deficiency in menopause causes vaginal skin dryness and thinning, leading to pain during intercourse (dyspareunia) for 20-40% of women. Some women will benefit from using vaginal estrogen (cream, ring, tablet) or oral/patch estrogen replacement to treat these vaginal changes. Be sure to see a physician about other possible causes of pain: urinary infection, vaginitis, muscle spasms, etc.
