I am 67, youthful, sexually active with my husband, and have had very notable and recent episodes of vaginal burning during intercourse. I have also had an oophrectomy and hysterectomy (at age 43) and have not taken HRT for a few months, because my current MD doesn't believe in it for a 'person my age'. I have also begun to have hot flashes.I think the two matters are directly related. What is your opinion?
