I am 54 and my period stopped three years ago. I discovered recently that l felt the usual pain of my period but none yet.The problem is that l feel dry during sex.

Is this as a result of menopause and if yes please what do l use to lubricate it. I feel bad each time it happens.

Thank you

      You can get various products to deal with the dryness problem. Boots do at least 3, or go and get a really good lube from somewhere like Ann Summers or online Lovehoney or Ann Summers. XXX
