Question: I have reached menopause and am asymptomatic - how long before l'll know that l've been spared suffering from hot flashes? Are there any NATURAL lubricants that you can recommend once vaginal dryness occurs?
Thank you.

Hello
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Petroleum jelly ( Vaseline ) or even plain water / saliva are great natural lubricants.
KY jelly is not natural but an ideal option.
If you have come so far, you have been spared hot flashes , maybe for good !
Since how long have you been menopausal ?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
