Hi Hurdity , is the burn club still active ? I noticed the threads were a few years ago , hopefully it means everyone is ok ? . I am having urethral burning .After a few years within no probs on vagifem , I started getting stingy wee dr gave me Ovestin to us externally which burnt like crazy , so I'm back to square one .Just had a sleepless night of utter pain I'm feeling very low indeed .Hoping to get to see my dr  this morning xxx

Hi Sweetscarlett - not sure what you mean by still active - I mean if you post in it it becomes active again and someone will respond! I really meant that there was a lot of useful information in it from women in your position that you might find helpful! Women may have forgotten about it which is why I bumped it! It would be great if all those who posted are OK now!!

Sorry to hear you are still having problems. Ovestin is stronger than Gynest cream in the amount of estriol it has in it. Hope you manage to find the right treatment and let us know how you get on.

Hurdity, I have been given antibiotics by my doctor as I had a water infection , this is the third lot I have been given in 2 months , I think it has been the same infection all this time. The stinging and burning has lessened so fingers crossed for me
As a regular user of Vagifem for the last few years , my doctor gave me Noresterone to be taken twice a day for 2 weeks every 3 months , I'm not particularly happy with taking this, and as yet have abstained, after I read a few bad side- effects  associated with it . Might  I enquire if any other ladies on here have come across this medication ?  I know it's to essentially break down the lining of the womb , but is it necessary ??

I thought it was prescribed for very heavy, long periods with flooding 

Remind me - has your GP sent your urine samples to a Lab for testing?

Sweet scarlet, if you've got VA the Sylk will lubricate but not do anything else.
You probably need the oestrogen to get bladder/urethra/vagina/vulva all working well again.
Ovestin isn't the only option - you could use a weaker cream (Gynest), or Vagifem (little tiny pessaries) or even the Estring which is a little silicon ring impregnated with oestrogen which just sits up there for its 3 month lifetime oozing oestrogen. It's about the size of a calamari ring before you ask, and you don't know it's there once it's in.
For all the creams and pills, you'll do application every day for a fortnight to get things going and then it drops down to twice a week usually.
Best of luck!
