I am about 8 years post-menopausal. I learned about Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) or vaginal atrophy through my own research after years of suffering. My GYN never brought it up despite years of complaining. Estrace worked (Don't get Premarin. They abuse horses to make it), but after some years, it lost some of its effectiveness. Micronized DHEA mixed with VMagic helped, but I was still getting that UTI pain without the UTI. After two months of the pain slowly increasing, I inserted some organic coconut oil. Complete relief overnight. I'm still using my estrace, but I'm going to make my own suppositories. I'm also going to try some jojoba oil.
Coconut Oil Suppositories

I have been dealing with vaginal atrophy for a few years. It started with menopause and has continued into my postmenopausal phase. I have now helped the problem with nightly coconut oil suppositories. I make my own using nothing but cold pressed, organic coconut oil. At first I wasn't getting complete relief so I decided to make the suppositories larger and this is all that was needed. I don't add anything else to the suppositories. After I make them I keep them stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container. I place one in the vagina, as far as it will go, right before getting into bed for the night. It will melt after a few minutes and will slowly leak out (I put a small, folded washcloth in my underwear, like a pad to absorb the melted oil) but it nonetheless gets rid of the burning sensation from the atrophy. I have been doing this for two weeks and it is inexpensive and effective. Immediate results after the first night.
