When the entrance to the vagina becomes uncomfortable during penetrating sexual activity. It occurs with lack of sexual activity in women of any age and particularly in perimenopausal and menopausal women. It is usually treated by non-hormonal jellies, arousing foreplay and gentle intercourse. If estrogen therapy is needed, Estriol is the safest. Stronger estrogens if necessary should only be used in half a cm on the index finger rubbed into the vaginal opening once a week. Don’t use an applicator!

Diabetes mellitus
An often-hereditary disease in which the blood sugar becomes abnormally high because the body either doesn’t make enough insulin (Type 1) or the insulin that is made is not effective (Type 2). Type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with anovulatory androgen excess. Insulin resistance, being overweight or obese, having anovulatory androgen excess and being inactive all predispose one to diabetes.
