I've been post-menopause for about three years. I experienced the symptoms of vaginal atrophy almost immediately after menopause. Intercourse HURT LIKE HELL no matter how aroused I was or how much lubrication was produced naturally. It generally resulted in some minor tearing and bleeding no matter how careful my husband and I used to be.
After menopause, many women have an abnormal discharge. It occurs because the decrease in estrogen levels causes the vagina to thin and become drier. Moderate to severe thinning and drying is called atrophic vaginitis. A thin, dry vagina is more likely to become irritated and inflamed, resulting in a discharge.
