Sometimes it can help to talk to someone about it, many women are going through the same thing at the same time, so you are not alone.

Burning sensations and sex

When you experience a burning sensation due to menopause, sexual intercourse can make it feel worse. If you want to have sex it is important that you make sure that you lubricate properly before, either through sexual foreplay or using water-based lubrication. Or both.
