Is Vaginal Dryness After Menopause Normal?

I have vaginal dryness. It happened after menopause. I had no sexual activity for years and when I attempted, I found dryness and pain. I could not. That was 2009. I have not attempted since. I'm married.
I looked up causes , symptoms, and remedies.
I simply have dryness, not itching, discomfort or pain otherwise. Also no foul odor.

Is it reversible?

Hi, I think it is comm9n to have vaginal dryness after menopause due to estrogen deficiency. You can use some estrogen cream like evalon locally to improve it. You can apply it daily for one week for first week, then three times per week for 2nd week, then two times per week for 3rd week and then once a week till it finishes. You can also try some hormonal treatment.
