Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Atrophy: your periods occur during a time in your cycle when you have the lowest levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones in your body. It is possible that during this time you also do not create enough vaginal lubricant to support your level of intercourse. consider using a supplemental lubricant.
