Maryjane:
You know my history from my book so won't bore you, however re pelvic exam and front of wall being sensitive.
I'm 52 now had a pelvic exam at about 45ish when all this started and my GP touched the same area SO sensitive.
Skip forward to now & when I have occasional women's health physio for a MOT it's hugely better so it was VA, remember the bladder also needs oestrogen & although you have got away with ping lots in your earlier days and no real problem, now it's drying out ( because it will because age dictates so ) that your p will irritate where it didn't before as it was oestronised.
Unfortunately the local oestrogen can irritate some regards the fillers, some plough through and come out the other side all good , others simply can't tolerate it.
HRT is not my golden bullet regards my mental health it makes me quite down, however without it I'm suicidal regards my VA issues so I have to weigh it all up.
The estring may be better less fillers.
Robin:
I had some of the symptoms you describe. It wasn't recognised as VA and went untreated for a long time. When I eventually did begin treatment I reacted badly to oestrogen creams (many people use them without a problem) so use estring. It works very well for me.
Charys:
--- Quote --- I think I've mentioned it before but the twitching and skin sensitivity as well as the awful nerve pains were all symptoms I experienced and are definitely connected to fluctuating hormones, probably low oestrogen
--- End quote ---
Yep, I don't care what any doctors say, I know my skin sensitivity and twitching are related to low oestrogen, 100 percent. When I said to someone last week that I knew times my oestrogen were at low levels because my muscles twitched at that point, they looked very sceptical, but I KNOW it happens.
I can't reiterate to ER enough how much I recognise what she is talking about. However, having experienced it myself twice before this time....I can see what it is more clearly.
