I came across this forum and wondered if anyone can help ?
Have looked through a few posts and sorry if Im looking for help that has already been in the forum.
I've got VA which I was successfully using twice a week for the last couple of years.
It seems out of the blue I started having urinary symptoms, heavy sensation around my urethra, no difficulty passing urine but thought I had an infection. Also had some lower backache/pelvic pain. Treated with 3 days trimethoprim then 7 days nitrofurantoin. Did feel slightly better.
But then a few weeks after the symptoms reoccurred, was treated with same medication even though nothing picked up in urine.
I have have had bloods checked for cancer markers and thankfully nothing picked up. Bowel screening again nothing. Waiting for a pelvic scan as a precaution.
I know deep down that it is menopausal VA but I cant seem to get any relief.
I take daily vagifem and occasionally use ovestin though I felt it made the feeling worse.
I have tried Yes VM internally and using Olive&Bee cream outside but nothing seems to help.
I am suffering today because I sat in the car for a few hours yesterday and my jeans were a bit snug and this seems to have sent it off the scale !! I can hardly sit for long today.
Im on a low dose trimethoprim at night and currently on HRT patch 25mcg.
Can anyone offer any other suggestions, I cant believe how low I feel about it.
thank you for reading
