I am responding to your question about drying up
during intercourse. How old are you? If you are past
your menopause it may be that you would benefit from
hormone replacement therapy. Check with a doctor to
see whether you are a candidate for this type of
treatment.
If you are younger, I would suggest to start out using
personal lubricants, which you can get over the counter
at any pharmacy (KY jelly, Astroglide, etc.). If this does
not help, I would see a doctor who can prescribe a
vaginal cream or suppository which will enhance the
lubrication of your vagina.
