I have recently been put on vagifem. I do notice that after sex I start to feel very uncomfortable and start experiencing pain. I have been using the Yes vaginal moisture but is there anything else I can use after sex that will stop this uncomfortable feeling that can last for days.
I have the urge to pee and therefore I take nurofen which helps. However I do notice that after sex, I become very dry and end up in pain. Can anyone recommend something please?

Maybe you need to give vagifem more time to work, or try ovestin, which is a cream, used internally or externally or both ,
Works similiar to vagifem but more moist being a cream

Use a lubricant prior to sex.  I have used KY Jelly successfully for over 30 years actually much longer  .  I also don't insert the 'ovestin' until after DH has made his move 

There are Durex lubricants but I found these stung my already sensitive parts ........ have a look-C .  Tesco are good for choice.

It sounds as if the Vagifem is not working yet. How long have you been using it and at what dosage?

I am using Overten for external use.
This is my 4th week using vagifem at 10mg and I know it will take time to work, but I'm in agony with this constant burning all the time. I am using the Yes moisturiser after sex but today I have been at my worst.
I have even taken iboprofen for the pain but today I am at my wits end. Every time I go for a pee it is painful and then it burns.
Please help!

So many of us can totally relate to what you're going through.  Vagifem takes a long time to work.  I think what's happening is the vagifem is starting to do it's job by plumping up your tissues and awakens nerves.  You may want to ask your GP if something like Amitrypline might get you over the hump.  It will get much better.  Good luck and hang on.

How many times a week are you using the Vagifem?
