Brief Answer:
This cut may be caused from dryness

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear!
During this stage of life hormonal levels decreases.
Hormonal levels play a main role for vaginal lubrication.
The main hormone is estrogen.
Usually ,when vagina is dry or atrophic you have need to use creams or products that contain estrogen.
But before using these products you should contact with your Gyn.
For moment you can use vaginal lubricants.

Take care for your self
