Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D, F
Excessive exercise, emotional stress, chronic disease states, onset of menopause, and use of oral contraceptives can all cause a regular period to stop. A diet high in fiber will not affect a woman's period.

Answer to Question 2

B
Vaginal dryness occurs as a result of hormonal influences and can result in dyspareunia. The use of vaginal lubricants can sometimes help alleviate this problem. Fatigue would not cause dyspareunia (pain during intercourse). Trauma to the vaginal mucosa can result in dyspareunia, but trauma is not the most likely cause. While narrowing of the vaginal introitus can result in dyspareunia, the narrowing of the vaginal introitus is temporary until the trauma of the birthing event subsides.
