After menopause, a number of factors can lead to a decrease in cervical and vaginal discharge, which can lead to vaginal pain during sex. There are ways to avoid painful postmenopausal sex, such as using lubricants on the male penis or female vagina to reduce dryness and pain. The reason why women experience painful sex after menopause is related to the sharp drop in estrogen levels in the body and the thinning of the vaginal mucosa. Therefore, postmenopausal women can also take and use topical estrogen under the guidance of a clinical gynecologist to help the vagina and cervix produce more fluid to lubricate the vagina. However, estrogenic drugs must be taken under the guidance of a physician and should not be taken without permission. Postmenopausal women with vaginal inflammatory infections can make sex more painful, so if vaginal inflammation or cervical inflammation is detected, it should be treated promptly. Postmenopausal women’s libido will also decrease accordingly, so don’t force yourself during each sexual life, and the number of times you have sex should not be too frequent, 2-3 times a month is more appropriate.
