When a woman’s ovaries cease producing estrogen, she enters menopause. Without any estrogen in menopause the vagina • becomes atrophic.

• It loses blood supply and elasticity.

• It loses its normal pH (acid/base balance) because it cannot support the normal predominant bacteria called lactobacillus that feasts on glycogen and produces lactic acid, thus lowering the pH.

• Recent studies have shown that as many as 50% of postmenopausal women are not aware that there are treatments that are safe to treat this atrophy. They believe this is just a function of, “getting older.” Thus, many women “suffer in silence” and, if still partnered, are experiencing painful intercourse.

• Dr Goldstein, a highly regarded menopause specialist in NYC, says that there are several helps for vaginal atrophy.  very low dose estrogen creams  tablets and rings.  There is now one oral non-estrogen, which may have other beneficial effects in breast and bone, as well.  There is also a local vaginal insert, which is DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). It is a nonhormonal but is, however, metabolized to estrogen and testosterone.
