Vaginal Soreness and Dryness
- Since my hysterectomy in 2001 I have experienced soreness and dryness. I am 49 now and still get very sore. I soak in ebsin salts and it helps some. But also after a weekend I just had WOW, I should expect some sort of soreness. I used a whole tube of lube, lol, but still sore. But I also feel part is from not having sex for 3 yrs. So going to take time this time, lol and use lube each time. I know I will still be sore, but I will get used to it eventually. The sex is just way too good to say no to.

Sex and Vaginal Dryness
- I'm 44 years old and sex with my partner was fabulous until a few months ago. When he enters me, it feels like he is cutting or tearing the opening of my vagina which makes me feel so sore. I try to get out of sex on a regular basis, whereas I used to enjoy it. Creams do not work. The constant pain on penetration has put me off sex and is causing stress and arguments in my relationship.

Vaginal Soreness
- It comes with age, sorry. I too cannot have sex due to the soreness. We have not had penetration for 18 months, and to be quite honest I could do without it. I am 50 and used to love sex, but as we get older, we get wiser and tired and it doesn't really interest me anymore. Don't think you a failure, just think you are a great experienced woman.

Vaginal dryness
- I'm only 21, and in a loving relationship. But I find it hard to lubricate naturally when I'm having sex, we've tried lube a lot but it still feels very friction like when he tries to enter...it also feels like he's hitting a wall when only entering maybe 2 inches and can't go any further, it's really starting to get me down and I need some advice on how I can fix the problem.

Vaginal Soreness
- Since starting the menopause I have suffered with a very sore vagina, Doctors don't seem to be of any help, Have tried lubricants, had swabs, all clear,sex is too painful, so causes stress in relationship, Don't know where to turn next. I'm only 50 and I don't want to not be able to have sex for the rest of my life, Lt is so depressing and makes me feel like a failure, I often say to my partner he would be better off with another woman. I don't know anyone else who is like me.
