text: can low estrogen cause excess vaginal lubrication? i am 50 years old. i had a partial hysterectomy, but still have my ovaries.  i recently went to the  doctor for excess vaginal lubrication. she determined by vaginal exam, pap smear, and lab tests that there is no infection or other problem. i don't have any discharge or odor. sexual intercourse is not enjoyable to me or my husband due to this problem. she thought i may be in beginning stages of menopause and that my estrogen may be low.  estrace vaginal cream was prescribed. everything i've read says low estrogen causes vaginal dryness. i am very concerned about hrt and have not started using the cream. please give me your opinion on this.                                           thank you, i have also heard that low estrogen causes vaginal dryness.  i found a great site which will give you ideas of how to make your sex life more enjoyable with excessive vaginal secretions....check it out:  http://www.newomen.com/displayarticle231.html
