Vaginal dryness and difficulty becoming aroused

I'm post menopausal, I use local oestrogen cream three times a week and have hrt patches. I find I'm very dry and although I use lubricant I wondered if there's anything that helps encourage natural lubricator or is this just something I have to live with now? I also find it difficult to climax, but I'm on low dose antidepressants, which I don't think I'll ever come off, but probably aren't helping.

I would up your topical treatment. What dose patch are you on?

What topical treatment? Do you need either a higher dose topical treatment, to use to more often or both?

Lots of women need more than the 2x a week it says on the packet.

Try libido enhancing foods.

I have PCOS so, have terrible vaginal dryness. The one thing that has helped is Seabuckthorn Oil capsules. I bought it from Holland and Barrett’s.
