Welcome to the forum both of you. Most people are totally unaware of vaginal atrophy and usually find out the hard way by having it for quite a while but not having a clue what to do.
I googled it years ago when diagnosed and this forum popped up, it's been very enlightening and educational to say the least. We're very thankful for all the very knowledgable ladies on here over the years that have helped and supported so many with this sometimes very debilitating condition. There is hope though and eventially with the correct treatment it can be managed and life returns to normal. With some blips now and then I might add.
