Is anyone experiencing vaginal atrophy post menopause? Are you taking vaginal estrogen (or other forms of estrogen) for this an associated symptoms (dryness, urine frequency, etc.)?

@leeosteo There are some good and quite lengthy discussions where you can get information about your question:

The second discussion is very active and I think you will find lots of good information there.

I am postmenopausal and beyond the age of 60 so I can't use estrogen to help with vaginal dryness and atrophy. Also, I can't hold onto an estrogen ring so that doesn't offer a viable solution. Estrogen cream 2 times a week is not sufficient in my case. Does taking DHEA help other women with this issue. Are there other options? Minnette
