Women Are Finally Speaking Up About Menopause and the Stigma of Vulvar and Vaginal Atrophy
Too many menopausal women suffer in silence while managing symptoms like vaginal discomfort and pain associated with sex. It’s important to remember you aren’t alone. Meet Jennifer, Carla and Susan. Here they share their personal experiences with vulvar and vaginal atrophy, including how they found relief from painful sex with IMVEXXY and why they wish they’d spoken up sooner.

For me, the symptoms of vulvar and vaginal atrophy and painful sex during menopause extended beyond physical pain—there was also a mental component. I thought, is this going to be my life moving forward? When I finally talked to my healthcare provider and learned about my options, I wished I hadn’t waited so long!


It puts a strain on an important part of your relationship. I had heard about pain and dryness during sex due to menopause, but I wasn’t anticipating this kind of pain. For a while, I just dealt with it, thinking maybe this will pass. When it didn’t, I knew it was time to speak up.


I felt so alone—so isolated. After a year of pain, I went to my gynecologist and cried. I was shocked when she told me the pain and dryness were due to menopause and could be treated. I didn’t expect that to be part of the journey. I thought it was just me.

Talking About It
When intimacy after menopause becomes associated with pain, it can be an isolating experience for both partners. Talking openly about what’s wrong is the first step toward finding lasting relief.
