This is a really big issue for some women. Especially young women who have received chemotherapy for treatment of cancer. The chemotherapy, the menopause brought on by the chemotherapy or other procedures such as oophorectomy and lupron shots to stop the ovaries' production of estrogen can wreck havoc on a women's sex life.

I found an article that talks about some of these issues and tips to help out. My own special tip would be a product called Just Like Me.

The article states that vaginal dryness and related painful intercourse (called dyspareunia) is one of the most common reported problems by women who are receiving or have completed cancer treatments. The article talks about different vaginal lubricants, moisturizers, estrogen products and soy products.

Just be careful if you are a breast cancer survivor. Some products such as soy and vaginal estrogen products have some controversy whether or not it's safe for estrogen positive cancers.

Being a young breast cancer survivor I know these problems first hand. It's not easy to deal with what you knew as your body and now things so drastically change at such a young age. There are things out there to try. Always ask your doctor before you try anything to make sure its safe.
