Vaginal Dryness
Symptoms of vaginal dryness may appear for the first time more than 10 years after the last menstrual period or earlier in the perimenopause. Vaginal dryness tends to increase in severity with time since the menopause.
Vaginal dryness can cause discomfort in daily activities, cause women to experience painful sex and pain using tampons, make wearing certain clothing uncomfortable, and cause smears to be very painful. The pain can be all the time or at particular times in a cycle, and these symptoms can occur at any time.
However, vaginal dryness can be treated, and symptoms could improve in 3 months of appropriate treatment.
