dry vagina

I have the desire to have sex but I'm dry and sometimes it hurt while having intercourse. Do you have any suggestions?

Use a lubricant

KY, Astroglide, etc. available even at Walmart. Might want to talk to your doctor - sounds like possibly you are low on estrogen locally - in the vagina.

I would get some type of moisturizer vs. a lubricant. They have Vagi-Guard, KY Long Lasting, etc for $15 or less. I tried those and they worked, but eventually I ended up getting a script for Premarin Cream since I was so dry during the day. It was even hard to wipe after urinating! Sorry if that was TMI but I am sure I am not alone!

You might need a low-dose vaginal estrogen cream. Low estrogen can, and usually does cause vaginal dryness.

take care
