Approximately 40-50% of postmenopausal women will experience dryness, irritation, burning or atrophic changes in their genitopelvic region.

Of those women, only about 6-7% — or roughly 3 million — are actively treated with prescription medications. Many women are suffering in silence with this condition, unaware that there are safe, effective treatments.

With these symptoms, intercourse also becomes painful. Vaginal dehydration results from changes within the vaginal area or eco system, estrogenic depletion from the transition into menopause, as a side effect of some medications.
