Menopause has ruined my life

Having sex again at 61!

Started by newlife2 on November 9, 2008 8:44 PM

I lost my husband a year and a half ago and was so much in grief I didn't even think of sex, I had gained weight, wasn't able to exercise because of a back injury. But I started in the last couple of months to want sex again.

I had recently seen my doctor I had vaginal burning and pain, he was unable to insert a regular sized speculum it hurt so bad I cried, but I also said, here I am, old and now I'll never be able to have sex again!!! I insisted on being started on vagi fem tabs and noticed I was getting lubrication back.
