Vaginal atrophy and painful intercourse: What helps?

I have used an estrogen cream for years when my female nurse practitioner in an oby/gyn practice recommended it and for me, it works. There are lubricants that you can use prior to intercourse. I agree, even my best friends don’t want to talk about anything “intimate”. I think it’s this generation …friends are mostly in the 70s and early 80s. A fellow I was dating years ago talked about it with me and we did use a lubricant on occasion. We used to joke about it …where there is a will there is a way. Not all partners are as enlightened sad to say….affects both men and women of my generation.

FL Mary aka Hurricane Mary at this point…just north a bit of the major impact but tonight will be the worst.

I need a lubricant as well. I was prescribed the estrogen cream but found out I'm allergic to it. I mentioned it to my urogyn and he said to use coconut oil. I've been trying it and thinks it's helping. No sex right now due to multiple prolapses.
