Questions to bring to your visit
- Would vaginal estrogen, a moisturizer or pelvic floor therapy be a starting point for me?
- Are my urinary symptoms related to the same tissue changes?
What happens at your visit with us?
A private visit at our Alpharetta / Roswell office is a reasonable first step if sex has become painful after menopause. Bring a list of hormones or vaginal products you already use, and mention any dryness or urinary symptoms that came on at the same time.
When should I call us?
Call us if sex has become painful after menopause. Sudden heavy bleeding or severe pelvic pain should be evaluated in an emergency room.
