A member asked:

What can a woman of 61, who has never been sexually active, do for vaginal dryness when hrt is contraindicated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Check w/your doctor: Estrogen cream may be effective. Otherwise there are several lubricating creams/gels available, but they have to be applied as needed and when needed.
