Vaginal atrophy
Usually called “vaginal dryness”—it is a condition in which the surface of the vagina becomes thinned and makes less secretions so that there is discomfort with intercourse. Occurs in about thirty percent of women in menopause. Both estrogen and progesterone therapy in low doses effectively treat it. The most effective and safe therapy is 0.5 mg of estriol made by a compounding pharmacy applied to the vagina one night a week.
