Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think irritation and pain during sex (dyspareunia) comes due to atrophy of vagina due to menopause. You can use lubricants, you can take one lubricant with hyaluronic acid to help regeneration.

Hope I have answered your query.
