Summary
The purpose of this protocol is to determine whether pain with sexual intercourse can be
reduced in menopausal, breast cancer survivors and to evaluate the effectiveness of a
non-hormonal therapy (Lidocaine Liquid) vs. a placebo liquid in reducing pain.
The investigators hypothesize that the pain arises in the vulvar vestibule. The investigators
predict that the localized use of lidocaine will be more efficacious than use of placebo
liquid.
