Having sex is sharp and painful now. What can I do?

Low levels of oestrogen can cause a reduction of protective mucus in the vagina resulting in itching, irritation, and infection.

This can also result in pain during sex as the elasticity of the vagina can be affected as well.You may find Sea Buckthorn Oil helpful as this is often used to help restore the balance. It can take 4 weeks or so to start showing benefit.

Sea Buckthorn Oil is not one of our products, but just Google for more info and you should be able to get this from most health shops.

You may also find Menopause Support helpful as this is traditionally used to help gently raise and balance oestrogen, thus reducing symptoms.

However, if this does continue it is best to check with your doctor just to rule out any infection or other reasons.
