Yes, these symptoms are common after menopause due to a drop in oestrogen levels, which can lead to vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, and reduced interest in sex, a condition known as genitourinary syndrome of menopause. This condition is very common and can be effectively treated, rather than something you need to accept. You can find significant relief by using over-the-counter vaginal lubricants or moisturisers, though your doctor may also prescribe local oestrogen creams or hormone replacement therapy to improve vaginal health. If symptoms persist, counselling or sexual health support can also be beneficial in improving comfort and libido (sexual desire).
