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

I’m wondering if it’s necessary to do anything about vaginal atrophy if you’re not sexually active, perhaps I’m naive and there’s other benefits besides having sex, just thought I’d ask.

@frouke see my answer below. If I had not had painful labia tears I wouldn’t have done anything.

@frouke my labia was splitting and it was very painful and excruciating when I urinated. I went to urgent care and they prescribed estrogen cream. It worked. I went to my GYN and she suggested coconut oil. It also worked. I’ve been using coconut oil for about 5 years with 100% success for my problem which was vaginal atrophy resulting in painful tears. I am not sexually active.
