I did this Instagram live with Dr Sarah Ball today debunking many myths around the use of local oestrogen, & the 8 different types of medications available in the U.K. on the NHS for the treatment of VA & so much more.

She also said it counts as CPD points for GP training.

Thanks Mary Jane. I will watch it later today.

Morning ive just watched this, v informative. I posted just yesterday about having cystitis again after really a 3 or 4 year haitus while using vagifem. Im wondering if its not now working so well for me even though i did the two week reload and then try and use every other night. Does the estriol you use come with an applicator?

I have recently had a similar experience.  I will add a bit more to this later when on my laptop.

 My symptoms have been much better since starting Vagifem nearly 2 years ago and Evorel Conti patches just over a year ago. However I do get occasional bouts of cystitis. Usually this responds to treatment with bicarb of soda in water and Nurofen. However I have had it 3 times in the past 6 weeks, starting a couple of weeks after having a hysteroscopy. I am wondering whether I acquired a mild/low grade UTI during the procedure.Eventually, 2 days ago, I decided to take a 7 day course of Trimethroprim which i had as a backup. Things did start to improve quite quickly. I now need to wait and see if the cystitis comes back again after finishing the course.

Estriol does come with an applicator but I found it messy to use and it irritated me badly. Vagifem works much better.

Can i ask how people get to it. I managed to get onto instagram but I can't see a video. The link just sends me to a picture of Maryjane. Do I need to follow?

There's nothing on the left of the pcture.  I only have icons on the right for chat, like or send.😔

Hi Folklass. I actually went to instagram through Facebook. Will try again later. Hope I can get onto it, it'll be very useful.

It still works for me from MJ's link at the beginning of the thread!

[Otter15]

Sorted it👍. It's my iPad, not working on that for some reason so managed to get it on my phone.

Thanks for your help. I'm such a technophobe!

Thanks maryjane for putting the link in your original message.

I’m sure there are a few of us that don’t use social media... me at least...that find we are a bit restricted sometimes for information that is only shared via social media routes.

I am aware of Facebook groups and things where people share a lot of info but I still refuse to use it 😂.

Thanks again for the link. Really useful.
