Suggest A Remedy For Extreme Pain During And Post Intercourse

I experience a lot of pain during and after sex. I had a hysterectomy at age 26..but discontinued hormone therapy at age 46. Felt being on any medication for 20 years increased my risk of complications. What can I do to enjoy sex with my husband again? I avoid it at all cost.

Hello dear
Understand your concern.

I think it is post menopausal state which lead to vaginal atrophy/Vaginal dryness produce pain during and after intercourse.

Following are the advice:
Use lubricants during sex
Use condoms and comfortable position
Insert penis in vagina when it is fully wet.
Enjoy sex slowly, do no t get arousal fast
Wear pure cotton loose inner wear
Apply liquid base lotion that rich in vitamin, mineral and vitamin E
Use liquid base shop
Do not use perfumed soap and deodorant

Consult the gynecologist for exact diagnosis:
You can wear estrogen ring: estring
Apply estrace cream
Tablet vagifem can be useful
Keep the vagina clean
Wipe pelvic area before and after urination
Take sitz bath after sex. Seating in warm water.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
