A member asked:

My wife 52 has a dry vagina and she refuses to see her gp regarding this. i have purchased lubricants etc. but she refuses to use them. i am 57?

It is up to her: Although vaginal dryness is a common problem after menopause, it is not clear that this is the actual issue. If the problem bothers her enough it is up to her to seek help.
