2. “Sex will hurt after menopause.” – NOT NECESSARILY.
While vaginal dryness is a common symptom of menopause, it doesn’t have to be “a life sentence” for older women, says Nice.
“Yes, vaginal dryness is common, but it’s not a life sentence. A good quality lube is essential. I encourage women to try a few and find what works best for their body. Every vagina and penis is different – it’s about finding the right fit for both of you.”
If you’re in a relationship, extra foreplay may help to get the vagina wet and fend off dryness. Nice also suggested using “copious amounts of lube.”
