Tell us how you cope with vaginal dryness
AnnieG:
I've found the HRT has helped here (I'm taking Hormonin and Utrogestan - which is a natural progesterone) - but before that I used Sylk which really is excellent.

Like the aches and pains, this also comes and goes. The most helpful thing I have found is "Replens".

I have been using Ovestin cream for 5 months. It was very effective at healing dry, bleeding tissue after a infection, but I am now wondering if the cream itself is irritating the urethra and causing bladder/urethra sensitivity.
I am leaving it off for a few weeks to see. :-\

Not suffering from this - thankfully - just yet ;)
Even though I cant actually remember where mine is :o at the mo...................
Is this one of the definitive signs of the menopause?

Hrt has done the trick here!Before that KY jelly was useful.I did find it quite bad before the hrt and a couple of times I was a bit stuck to my pants :-\(if you know what I mean)!I did notice the dryness starting a good few years ago and before my periods stopped had to stop using tampons as it was becoming a bit risky!Certainly amazing improvement with hrt.It was probably the first thing I noticed had changed when I started hrt,closely followed by flushes.
