Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
Black cohosh, ginseng, and flaxseed have been used as alternative therapies by menopausal women. Ginger treats nausea and vomiting, and St. John's wort is used to treat depression.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
Vaginal scarring and vaginismus cause the vaginal muscles at the introitus to contract so tightly that an erect penis cannot be inserted. Estrogen decreases in perimenopause and menopause, resulting in vaginal dryness and painful intercourse. An imperforate hymen and fear of sexual abuse are other causes of painful intercourse.
