It is estimated that up to 60% of post-menopausal women suffer from what’s called vaginal atrophy—or thinning of the vaginal tissue. Many women don’t feel comfortable speaking to their health care providers so they suffer in silence.
Do You Have Vaginal Atrophy?
I would like to have your opinion on a sexual issue I’m having. Last year I had to have a total pelvic repair (surgery) and all went well. I no longer have pain now that nothing is bulging through my vaginal wall. The problem now is that when my boyfriend and I have intercourse he feels nothing once he’s inside of me. My vaginal opening is tighter but once he gets beyond that, he says that he feels nothing and starts to lose his erection. My guess is that the prolapsed organs provided stimulation for him but now I suspect that I might need to do something to tighten up my vagina walls? Does your company sell anything that might help? I have started to do kegal exercises in hopes that this will also help. I’ve had 3 natural childbirths and the last one weighted 10 lbs! I’m also 67 yrs old. So appreciate your advise!
thank you Dr. Northrup…how fast I got to this point…thanks for all the tips on things to try before estrogen. Do you think that estrogen, progesterone and testosterone tests are necessary before deciding what to do. I am 64 and have been menopausal since age 53.
Wonderful video, really good tips
Thank you gor this valuable information. I am experiencing postmenopausal symptoms and vaginal atrophy. I will try the plant-based herbs of black cohash. Are there other herbs I can take orally?
Thanks. I am doing some research again because some people in the know are now saying that coconut oil can actually be drying. I don’t want to make matters worse and wonder what your information is about coconut oil? Thanks.
