I am 35, will be 36 in July. I am experiencing pain and dryness during intercourse with my husband. I love him very much and I am totally faithful to him. I do want to be with him and I do want to please him. I don't know what is going on with my body. I have an appointment with a doctor on the 5th of July. Have any of you experienced this already? Could I be starting menapause? Please help. I think this is a very common problem and it can happen to all ages but mostly as you get older. I don't think it mean menopause necessarily. Use one of the many products you can buy in the drug store like astroglide or these newer warming lotions they advertise on TV. They work pretty well and are relatively easy to use. As you get older, you dry out. That's what my doctor said. There are lubricants out there for it - KY, etc. Ask a pharmacist for guidance and stay away from the heat activated and scented ones! A short term answer would be to use a lubricant. This of course doesn't solve the underlying problem, which is possibly hormonal. If that is the case it will most probably be diet related. |
