Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

B
Loss of lubrication with resulting discomfort in intercourse is a symptom of estrogen defi-ciency.
This is a normal occurrence with the aging process and does not indicate STDs.
It is part of the aging process, but the use of lubrication will help relieve the symptoms.
It is due to loss of lubrication with the decrease in estrogen. Scar tissue problems would have occurred earlier.
