Brief Answer:
Due to dryness of vagina.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The cause of pain in postmenopauseal women is commonly vaginal dryness that happens due to low estrogen levels. Since you cannot take the supplements, it is best to use a moisturizer or peanut butter before intercourse and see if it helps.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Yes, I already understand about vaginal dryness. But I think this is something additional to that because, as I said, it feels like my insides are coming out. Could it be a prolapsed uterus? Thank you.
