Painful sex while in menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vaginal atrophy: results from lack of estrogen. This thinning of the vaginal mucosa makes intercourse painful for the post menopausal woman. The condition can be treated with vaginal estrogen or systemic estrogen. Vaginal lubricants also help.
