Hello,

Thanks for sharing your health concern with us.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information.

In the current scenario, use of lubricants is of much help. If she is fit to use and is comfortable, estrogen patch can be used after consulting with her doctor.

The main cause of the lack of lubrication is the absence of hormones following menopause.

Hope you find this information helpful. Please let me know if I can assist you further.

regards,

Hello

Thanks for writing back.

K-Y jelly is a good lubricant that can be used.

For the use of estrogen , clinical evaluation and plan is needed by a specialist. I would ask you to contact your health care provider.

Hope this helps.
