Hi guys. New to this site.
I'm 44yrs old and doc said beginning of yr that I'm perimenopausal. Put me on Vagifem due to vaginal dryness, insomnia and other things. Developed skin tags inside vagina. Anyway, ran out of suppositories but at same time I noticed I was getting more skin tags and thought the eastrogen were causing it. So didn't get a repeat prescription. Big mistake!! Over past few weeks I've been really dry, sore in vaginal area. My back end sore too. I keep causing irritation to the skin tags as keep feeling around. Discharge has lessened. So decided better start the Vagifem again. Over past 2 days of starting it, it does feel slightly better. Now got a red sore around anus though but wondering if that could be caused also by my panty liner and thongs. Going to go ask doctor if these skin tags can get removed but I suspect I'm gonna get told it's cosmetic surgery even though it's great discomfort with intercourse

Tongs are dangerous ........ they dry the anus and can cause other problems, like splitting  - use lots of 'vaseline' or 'savlon' down there and get rid of the panty liner as this can make the area sweaty. 


  Get a Nurse to look at the skin tags ............ get some more 'vagifem' or 'ovestin'!

Browse round, make notes.

Thongs 😳😳😳 and vaginal atrophy.

M&S bloomers 🤗

Tongs are dangerous too.  Apparently.    - the work of the Devil .........  .

Go without when the sun is shining ;-).  Let air 'get to it' as my Granny would say  .  And they knew all about bloomers  .....

Why wear a panty liner, if there is a lot of discharge this needs looking at by the Practice Nurse?  If you have incontinence your Health Authority should offer appropriate support, there's a thought that 'no one should be wet' or something ....... run by a Nurse to encourage bladder control etc. to avoid symptoms.

I have to wear a liner due to discharge. It's been happening for years and I've been checked over by gynae and there's no problem. It just happens. Also yes, sneezing, coughing, hurrying to loo. It's safer to wear them to tell you the truth but yes, I know that it's better I don't. Ive been wearing them for years.

Ive also seen doctor about the skin tags earlier in year as was worried. He said I could get more, thry probably won't go away. But if they cause problems to go back. I'm just wondering why they happening in that area. I do know that I suffer with friction to that area during intercourse and that's a way skin tags on body happens anyway. All down to vaginal dryness
