My husband is on Warfarin and we just dont have sex because he suffers from Erectile Disfunction and wont ask the DR - fair enough - but does it make my vaginal bits more fragile and thin? As they aren't getting any exercise
I'm 64

I'm no expert but judging by the posters on here va doesn't differentiate. Though perhaps if you do have vaginal intercourse you'll know about it earlier so may get it treated before it gets too bad.

Because the vaginal walls get thin and dry intercourse can be painful. Regardless of your sexual history, it may be worth while having treatment for vaginal atrophy - mayB read the threads. Do you have any particular symptoms?

I have burning sensation when I wee and sometimes but not always its very light pink when I wipe. I know you can get slight blood with a UTI. I am using Menopausa Gyntima pessaries and am looking at phytoestrogen capsules

Get some appropriate 'vagifem' or 'ovestin' from your GP? It's lack of oestrogen which causes the thinning. Tried and tested for VA ;-)
