Reader Comments

After a 25 year marriage, I am in a relationship with a lovely lady same age with same symptoms. We tried intercourse and its too painful for her. She tearfully tried to end the the relationship. But the fact is we love each other. We both enjoy cuddles, foreplay and oral for both so that seems to be the solution for us.

Women who have had breast cancer and then get vaginal atrophy, or only dryness suffer and have very little help. Meanwhile, men are helped with all kinds of sexual disfunction problems. I cannot take hormones and lubrication isn't enough. So, I guess resuming a personal life to include men is now out cause most men wouldn't want to date a woman who could not have vaginal sex. For sure.

How a out some medical help!! I choose Not to pursue dating again and trying to meet a companion because of this very intimate problem. I've listening to Dr's, forums, articles, etc and no one goes into details about this problem. Dr Oz came the closest, but it still was not a full article.

Maybe even some sort of "plastic surgery" or device would help - sure enough items for men to use. Let's do the research so women such as myself can resume a "full " life. I beat cancer, only to find out I had some effects I cannot find an answer to. I feel for the other women as well. Let's all start pushing to get this issue deal with in a huge way. Please. Thank you.
