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

Posted by HomeAgainLA @llynch17056, Sep 21, 2023

TO THE LADIES ONLY: As I got older I started developing vaginal atrophy. Then I started developing open splits on my labia that were extremely painful. I went to urgent care one weekend and was prescribed vaginal estrogen medicine. It did the trick but I didn’t want to use estrogen. I went to a GYN that recommending organic coconut oil to use externally only. This was a few years ago and it has worked perfectly. I have never had another problem. At all. I wanted to pass along a natural inexpensive solution to vaginal atrophy.

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.
