Ask Health & Fitness' Dr. Julio Mora Answers:
Dear “Newly Married At 60:”
First, congratulations on your recent marriage and we wish you years of happiness, now and in the future.
It is not uncommon for menopausal women to experience vaginal dryness. Dyspareunia (pain or discomfort during intercourse) is due to decreased estrogen secretion, thinning of the vaginal mucose and decreased vaginal lubrication. Treatment options include a vaginal ring (estradiol); estrogen vaginal cream; or systemic hormone replacement, providing that these medications are not contraindicated in that particular patient. Testosterone propionate in a vanishing cream base is also effective if estrogen is contraindicated. The patient can also use unscented cold cream or water soluble gel at the time of coitus.
A patient should discuss with her ObGYN the pro and cons of each treatment to determine which one to follow.
Again, thanks for writing.
Julio C. Mora, MD
