I have been suffering with this. I'm 61& single. I am taking HRT. I'm fit, slim & eat a healthy diet. I have tried the creams but no luck. The doctor hasn't been much help. Any suggestions?

Now heres an idea, as I haven't bothered having sex for years, do any of you think that it has contributed to my problem? They say that keeping up a good sex life help keep your vag healthy! I would be interested in your opinions. Don't worry I'm not going to start walking the streets at night!
I will continue to try the creams that some of you have mentioned

added to the physical problems are the psychological ones of what ailment will come next? Soreness, thrush, urine infection, swelling chaffing Etc ? It is an on going battle and feels quite debilitating at times

It does seem that because of our age we have to manage this problem. It's on going & isn't going to be cured. I have found that I just have to manage it & it is better than it was. I have to make sure I'm really careful with my vag now, the skin is so delicate & sensitive, I can't use soap at all, I sit in the bath every day (wish I had a bidet) I pat myself dry. I use K-Y if it feels dry but not to much, if it is too wet I get sore again. If my anus is sore I just use a tiny bit of Sudo cream, but mustn't get it near my vag. I am on half a dose of HRT, so am not using the vagifem.
It's all very disappointing dealing with my problem but this forum has helped a lot. I realise it's not just me. People have been helpful with suggestions. So I suggest you read thru & may get some ideas how to manage your problem which is clearly AV. Good luck Sue, keep us posted.

also eating the natural bio live bacteria yogurts by Rachel and any other well known brand to help keep it at bay, usually half a pot a day, worth a go anyway. Good luck

have a look at estriol vaginal cream ... Ovestin..
i am trying this from tomorrow, i am just meno reached and seen a lovely gyno, had lots of ultra sounds, had a 10 years natural peri..
i now struggle with vaginal dryness and abit of hair thinning, always lots in brush,
estriol is the gentle oestrogen option, doesnt effect the uterine wall, especially for dryness and peri and post meno , protects bones and even breast problems ..
it improves all that dryness and libido apparently ..
i posted a heading about it seeing if anyone else uses it....
And lots of info on the discussion
just a thought it may help you
imhave no lick with natural lubes it just isnt enough...

Hope the Estriol works, Vagifem is also good, same sort of thing. Some sort of hormone replacement does help. Use a lube too I'd suggest.
Keep us posted.
