It feels like my expiration date is approaching...
How do you actually fight this dryness, and is sex basically an impossible mission now? Everyone keeps suggesting lubricants, but that doesn't fix the internal issue.
You’re at the age where this happens naturally as your estrogen levels drop.
There’s red clover, so you could try that. You also have aloe vera gels, or those vaginal wipes with hyaluronic acid.
If that stuff isn't cutting it, there's Linoladiol estrogen cream. It restores the mucosal lining. And finally, there's Strophe, which are estrogen tablets.
For me, it's just like taking meds for a thyroid issue. It makes life a million percent easier.
Plus, it helps out with the urinary tract issues that are going to start bothering you soon enough.
