This is embarrassing, but does anyone else have extreme vaginal dryness. I have vaginal bleeding if we even try to be intimate.

This concern is more common than many realize, especially within the breast cancer community where treatments can significantly impact hormonal balance and intimate health. The symptoms described warrant a conversation with a healthcare provider, as there are various approaches that may help address vaginal dryness and associated discomfort. Many others in this community have navigated similar challenges, so sharing experiences here could provide valuable support and insights.

Last night while my husband and I were being intimate, I had feeling that something tore and it was burning. Does anyone have any advice on the dryness.

I was told to use replens over the counter every 3 days. Works great.
