atrophic vaginitis
"Very sexually active until severe abrupt menopausal symptoms at 55. AV symptoms the most bothersome as overnight I shrunk up, dried up, itched, burned and  tore. Intercourse was out of the question.

Dr. gave me a sample of Estrace Vaginal cream. I admit I was afraid to use it and had little faith that it would help so I used only a pearl size amount on clean dry skin every night for 2 weeks. That ammt. Is sufficient to cover all the external parts and more, it emulsifies.

I am COMPLETELY healed as far as pain with intercourse and also pain upon urination. It was a MIRACLE for me.

Side note: If you stop using it (3X a week after the initial 2wk nightly use) you'll be back at square 1.  I give Estrace  a 10+ rating C:
