Ladies: How are you managing vaginal atrophy as you age?

I’ve been reading here about coconut oil. Doesn’t it cause your crotch to smell like coconuts? Just curious if others would notice it?

I’ve been using it for a couple of years. I use a very small amount. I put a small dab in my hand and rub my hands together and wipe my labia with my hand. I have never noticed any coconut smell. I haven’t tested that with oral sex, but there’s no smell in usual situations. Not in my clothes either.

It really has no ofor.

Okay. I may try it. I don’t think I have dryness, but I want to stay moisturized. I’ve just resumed having sex after a good while and want to maintain.

Honestly, it is organic, healthy, human grade for cooking and completely non-irritating, so it might be quite pleasant for oral sex or regular sex.

I also suffer from vaginal atrophy and recently started having spotting…an ultrasound was done last May and all was good but it came back again.. I have an appointment for this soon and I’m familiar with the test he wants to do and frankly it’s awful and invasive…since I have dealt with cancer twice they are quick at jumping to conclusions but I understand because I do it too…

@frouke Going back to this earlier discussion, and as I'm catching up on it, I wonder if the atrophy could be due to lichen sclerosus (particularly, "differentiated"), with which I am especially familiar with lately.

It may not be, but in the interest of helping out with additional possibilities / information, I would only hope to help as you address this development.

I hope it is identified and managed to your comfort level. Best wishes.

For me, my vaginal atrophy has been solved cheaply, easily, permanently, healthily and painlessly. In my case, coconut oil did it and continues to after years.
