How Can Vaginal Dryness And Discomfort During Intercourse Be Treated?

Good day, i have couple questions for past 9 months I have been experiencing vaginal dryness at first I thought it was an allergic reaction to the petroluium jelly or the over the counter lubes for sexual purposes. I am in a commitied relationship. I did away with that and started to look for lubes for sensitive skin preferably recommended by physicians. I still suffer from vaginal dryness, irritation at times especially if i am having alot of sex. It hurts really bad and it is causing friction between my partner and me. He feels like i am making up anything just not to be with him. He has to have sex everynight at least 2 to 3 times a night. I have been turning him down lots and its beginning to be a major fight in our relationship. I do love sex but it just affecting me really bad because of the dryness do you have any suggestions or over the counter medication to help this dryness and i am able to have sex without it being a pain. I dont have insurance so anything that I can take has to be over the counter at possible. Can you please give me some answers. Thank you

Hi,



You can try estrogen creams which is quite effective for vaginal dryness. If symptoms persist, you can consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated.
