Yep.  As we age parts of us shrink.  Do you have treatment for vaginal atrophy?  Do read the 'bladder issues' and 'vaginal atrophy' threads.  Make notes ;-)

I'm afraid that it does Rhinoslass. The lips begin to shrink again - puberty in reverse really. As CLKD says treatment for vaginal atrophy will help make things more comfortable. I use vagifem as well as full HRT but without it I do notice the difference. It wont plump things back up (well it hasn't in my case) but it does help. Have you read the book My Menopausal Vagina written by one of our members? It would increase your understanding of what happens during menopause.
