Doctors' responses

—After menopause, the skin of the vagina and outer area becomes thinner and drier because estrogen levels are low. This can cause soreness and pain with sex. —Treatment 1. Internal Medicines: Shatavari Churna – 3 gm with warm milk, BD Ashokarishta – 15 ml with equal water, BD after food Gandharva Haritaki – 1 tsp HS (if constipation present) 2. External Treatment: Yoni Pichu with Jatyadi Taila or Bala Taila – once daily at bedtime Gentle application of Shatadhouta Ghrita locally BD 3. Pathya (Advice): Use natural lubricant (coconut oil) during intercourse Avoid excessive washing/chemical soaps Warm milk, ghee, sesame, soaked almonds in diet Avoid ruksha, spicy, very dry foods —Follow up: 15 days
