When Intimacy Hurts: Why Vaginal Dryness Isn’t “Just Aging”

For many women, menopause brings changes that no one really talks about. Vaginal dryness. Discomfort. Even painful intimacy. These symptoms are incredibly common — but they’re often brushed aside as “just part of getting older.”

The truth? You don’t have to live with them.

Why It Happens

After menopause or hysterectomy, estrogen and testosterone levels naturally decline. Without those hormones, vaginal tissue can become thin, dry, and less elastic. This leads to burning, itching, and pain during intimacy.

How BHRT Helps

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) restores the hormones your body is missing — naturally and safely. Patients often notice:

• Relief from vaginal dryness and irritation

• Improved comfort and elasticity

• Renewed desire and intimacy with their partner

• Better sleep, energy, and overall mood

A Real Story from Our Clinic

One of our patients shared that she and her husband had not been intimate in over 20 years following her hysterectomy. After starting BHRT, she surprised him one night by initiating closeness again — something she never thought possible.

This is about more than hormones. It’s about quality of life, connection, and confidence.

You Don’t Have to Suffer in Silence

If you’re experiencing vaginal dryness, painful intimacy, or other changes after menopause, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to just “put up with it.”
