What to do about vaginal dryness after menopause?

Patient's question:

Doctor, patient I am 50 years old this year, I have been menopausal for more than a year, but I found that my vagina is very dry after menopause, and it is dry without other abnormal symptoms. Doctor, what should the patient do with vaginal dryness after menopause?

Doctor's answer:

Hormone levels in postmenopausal women rise significantly, and the secretion in the vagina becomes relatively less, which can easily lead to vaginal dryness and cause discomfort such as obvious pain during sexual intercourse. If this situation occurs again, it is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to understand how to develop atrophic vaginitis. If the examination results do not reveal any significant abnormalities, you can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to enhance vitamin intake.
