Looking to kiss painful sex goodbye? You deserve intimacy without the ouch!

When it comes to menopause, most women are prepared for hot flashes, night sweats and fatigue. However, there is another common symptom of menopause that is rarely talked about: painful sex (dyspareunia), a symptom of vulvar and vaginal atrophy (VVA).
If sex has become significantly painful after menopause, you're not alone—and it's not something you have to push through. This type of discomfort tends to progress over time, and it can affect both partners by creating stress, frustration, or less intimacy.
A targeted oral prescription treatment like Osphena® could help you kiss painful sex goodbye and maintain your comfort and connection — so don't wait to talk with your doctor.

Signs you may have dyspareunia
If you find yourself avoiding sex because intimacy now means more pain than pleasure, you could be suffering from dyspareunia (painful sex) due to menopause.
Osphena® is the first and only once-daily, oral, non-hormonal prescription treatment for moderate to severe vaginal dryness and/or painful intercourse due to menopause.
If you have dyspareunia, you may also experience:
You are not alone!
If you find sex painful after menopause, you are not alone! Dyspareunia is second only to vaginal dryness as the most common bothersome symptom of menopause for women with VVA.
In fact, 59% of postmenopausal women with VVA find sex painful.
Actor PortrayalWhat causes dyspareunia?
After menopause, your body makes much less estrogen—the hormone that helps keep vaginal tissue healthy. With less estrogen, the tissue can become thinner, drier, and more delicate—a condition called vulvovaginal atrophy (VVA).
With less elasticity and less lubrication, it's no wonder sex after menopause can be painful!
Menopause may be natural—but you don't have to live with painful sex or vaginal dryness.
Osphena® acts like a smart key: it's not an estrogen, but it selectively activates or “unlocks” estrogen receptors in the vaginal area where treatment is needed to help improve your intimate comfort.
Take one 60 mg Osphena® tablet once daily, by mouth, with food.

Vaginal tissue before menopause:
Estrogen keeps vaginal walls thick and stretchy.
Vaginal tissue after menopause:
Falling estrogen levels make tissue thinner, drier and more delicate.
You deserve intimacy without the ouch!
The good news is that moderate to severe painful sex due to menopause is a treatable medical condition. Unfortunately, many women suffer needlessly because they:
- Find painful sex a sensitive subject that is hard to discuss with their healthcare provider
- Believe that painful sex is just a natural part of aging that they have to endure
- Think that painful sex will eventually go away on its own, like hot flashes and night sweats
- Are uncomfortable with existing vaginal treatment options.
Painful sex won't go away on its own, and it's too important to ignore. Talk to your doctor about Osphena® – a targeted oral treatment that can help restore intimate comfort.
If you are currently suffering from moderate to severe painful sex due to menopause, it's time to talk to your healthcare provider about the first and only once-daily, oral, non-hormonal pill: Osphena® - a key step toward better vaginal health.
Sex can become painful after menopause because the vaginal tissue changes as estrogen levels drop. Dr. James A. Simon and Dr. Barb DePree explain what's happening in the body and why it can cause discomfort.
