Hi, Iam 29 year old nearly 30. i've been on the pill for a good couple of years now, i stopped taking it recently as i started having problems with my periods and with dryness. my periods are not regular at all and the dryness doesn't seem to be clearing. i've recently started to see someone new and am afraid when it comes to having sex it'll be sore, please help will i be like this for the rest of my life. is there anything i can do to get back to normal. Please give me advice. Thank you.

i am 60 next year .my partner is 16years younger than me .i was in a long time relationship and never had any problem with dryness.with my new partner i am quite wet if i know we are going to meet up but when it comes down to the nitty gritty i dry up.do you think it is because i feel guilty about his age?

please help, im 19 and have been in a relationship for the past year. recently i have started to get dryness or excessive discharge usually before my period. this sometimes stings when using the toilet and during sex. i had a full sexual health check at the beginning of the relationship and my boyfriend has had a chlamydia test recently both had clear results.
could you please help me find out what this is?

i got married this month 14 th and for the first two weeks we had really wonderful sex but later im not getting enough wet and when my husband try to put his penis its not going inside coz of dryness…plz give me a suggestion….xd

Hiya
Im a 22 year old student and have been in a relationship for the past 6 months now and am having painful sex with my boyfriend and keep getting really dry during sex. Its really annoying me and upsetting me because I love him and enjoy being with him and obviously enjoy all the foreplay before he enters me – he does really turn me on – I just don't understand why this keeps happening as I am usually really turned on. We have use lubricant almost every time – but I really don't want to have to rely on it. He has an average sized penis – so its not like its oversized.
When we first got together, we used condoms and had the same problems – and I thought that maybe I was allergic to them – so tried non-latex ones which didn't seem to help. Iv'e recently gone on the pill and we are still experiencing the same problems. We both got tested for all STI's together before I went on the pill and got the all clear. I trust him 100% – so its not like either of us could have an STI.
I am getting very depressed about the whole situation and wonder if theres anything that you could suggest to help? I am also wondering if it could b e affected by diet and alcohol consumption? because as a student with an active social life I drink quite a lot regularly and don't always have time to cook balanced meals, or sleep as much as I'd really like to. Any suggestions would be appriciated. Thanks.

Hi I am 62 and have had problems with painful sex and vaginal dryness for the past 6 months. I live in France and am concerned that I cannot adequately explain to my doctor here that I want to know what can be done. I had a hysterectomy in my 30s due to cervical cancer and took HRT for many years. Now my oestregen levels seem to be falling I am experiencing a thinning of the vaginal walls and tenderness and an occasional mild blood-stained discharge especially if I have been trying many of the lubricating treatments that are available. None of these seem to make any significant difference and I wonder if hormone creams would help and indeed be appropriate given my history of cancer. I feel it is too early in my life to give up normal sexual relations with my husband. Help.

i am now 43 and find that i am not wet enough before sex, even if i have taken part in forplay. I am thinking this may be due to may be i could be menapausing although i have never checked it out with my gp…do you thinks this may be why
