Doctors' responses
Vaginal dryness during menopause is a common issue caused by decreased estrogen levels, leading to thinning and inflammation of the vaginal tissues. This condition can result in discomfort, burning sensations, and difficulties during intercourse, but various treatments and lifestyle changes can help alleviate symptoms.
