I'd suggest trying an over the counter product called Replens. It's a vaginal moisturizer specifically designed to treat postmenopausal (or postpartum) vaginal atrophy, which you have. Using a lubricant when you have intercourse may help, too.
If that doesn't seem to do it, you may want to talk to your doctor and consider an estrogen cream to place in the vagina a couple times a week to help improve the symptoms. The vaginal tissue is very sensitive to estrogen, and thins after menopause because of the lower estrogen levels in your body.
If this was a sudden onset, you should see you doctor to make sure it's not being caused by a fungal or bacterial infection.

Your gyn can prescribe some low-does estrogen cream that you can apply to the vagina to help improve the dryness. You can also use a water-based lubricant during sex, or use a moisturizer like Replens which you can get at a drug store. Be sure you are drinking enough fluids, as dehydration will affect all mucous membranes.

Astroglide is a wonderful product for that problem. I'm 44 and had a total hysterectomy, and it works wonders for me. If it's a constant problem, your doctor can give you a topical hormone cream.

You can get premarin cream from your doc. For lubrication they usually recommend Astroglide or you could try Replens.

You can use lube, of course.
If you're really , really concerned about this, speak with your doctor. But as we age, this is something that can happen. Men's sexual responses begin to slow down as they age, too.
