Have you ever considered your vaginal health post menopause? We all know that our bodies go through all sorts of changes during menopause from fluctuations in hormone levels to weight gain. As if gray hairs and wrinkles weren’t enough to think about already.

Maintaining Vaginal Health Post Menopause

Some symptoms of menopause are simply aggravating like the five pounds that I cannot seem to get rid of and the periodic hot flash that bothers me when I least want it to. But, there are some symptoms of menopause that can be painful and need to be addressed. Many women feel that the symptoms from declining levels of estrogen have a negative impact on their lives, but very few look to their doctors for solutions. Vaginal health post menopause is just one of those topics that some women don’t feel comfortable talking about. But, it’s OK to talk about because as many as 50% of postmenopausal women suffer from painful symptoms that effect intimacy.
