Painful sex, menopause and you – what’s happening and how to feel more comfortable

Why do some women start to find sex painful around menopause? Vaginal and anatomical changes can lead to poor lubrication, as well as changes to the shape of your vagina – it can actually become shorter, less wider, and less stretchy.

This makes fun between the sheets decidedly less fun. Anne Henderson, our Consultant Gynecologist, explains what’s happening and how you can get help both physically and psychologically. From the right lubrication to other treatments, with a little thought and help, sex absolutely can be a pleasure again. Here is how to talk about painful sex in your relationships.
