Question: What can I do to help with pain during intercourse? I was on hormone therapy, and everything was fine. However, my O.B.G.Y.N. was killed in a car accident last Christmas, and having a hard time trying to replace him. I am on a list to see his daughter, but shes not yet practicing, I have a few more months . Is there anything I can do until then, short of seeing another doctor?

I haven't had my period since my 40th birthday, just about to the day. I started having wicked nights sweats about 28. My doc. put me on Premarin, however it mad me feel so mean I couldn't continue. So I went until about 36 with nothing, but was miserable from no sleep. I was up all night changing P.J.s and sheets. Doc then wanted me to try Cenestin {sp.} and it worked wonders. I had been taking that until my script ran out in February2016.
I do use KY jelly, but still very painful. My honeys penis can only go in just a little and its almost like I closed up. I don`t mean to sound rude, just don`t know how else to explain. I can`t continue having sex, it almost feels like burning or dryness. But we use KY.
I loved my doctor and had been seeing him forever. I am going to check today to see if his daughter is up and running. I`ve been on her patient list since she started med. school, very very nice people. However, if you think I need to see someone soon I`ll figure someone out.
I forgot to answer your question on how long it`s been going on. A few months I think, not very long.
I was told by a couple of friends, which are nurses, that I shouldn`t go off hormones. That I will shrink and have bone problems...My G.P. wanted me off, I trusted my O.B.G.Y.N. Actually I`m looking for new G.P., but thats a whole other deal.
I really appreciate your time and advice.
Thank you, XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
