My doctor told me I have vaginal atrophy. Is there anything I can do to reverse it? I just met a wonderful man and don't want to give up on sex entirely.

The only thing that will reverse the atrophic changes that occur in the vagina is estrogen. There are several estrogen products that are safe for use by most women. Talk to your doctor to see if you are a candidate for a vaginal estrogen product. In addition, regular use of a vaginal moisturizer or vaginal lubricant, both available for purchase over the counter, will help make love making more comfortable and satisfying. And fortunately, over time, frequent intercourse will reduce the atrophic changes that occur in the vagina.
