HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You can try topical treatment to see if this would help. Topical lubricants can be helpful ,this can be hormonal (estrogen cream) or non hormonal (such as k y jelly) .
The estrogen cream may require a prescription but you can try the non hormonal treatment initially to see if this works.
These would be available over the counter at your local pharmacy.
I hope this helps
