Has anyone got any thoughts on taking Seabuckthorn when you are struggling with Vaginal Atrophy
Suggested to me by a contributor to another atrophy forum
Already have the generic GP meds with various degrees of success depending on the day/ weather/ time of day/ what’s for dinner🤣🤦‍♀️, yes, erratic.
Wondering if anyone else has taken this or any other supplements with any success?

Hi Postmeno3
Yes just browsed and saw a few comments
Ironically it appears to help dry eyes and dry vaginas🤣 Who knew 🤔🤣
Think I might give it a go..

Yes, sea buckthorn is the one supplement that actually seems to work.
Very prone to morning nosebleeds due to drying nasal lining, & this seems to help.

I started using sea buckthorn several years ago for dry eyes, before I started HRT. Although I have had most of the list of menopause symptoms  I have yet to experience VA (I pray I don't) and I have wondered if that is because of the sea buckthorn. I have no idea so this is probably not that helpful but could be linked?

It i expensive but I would say worth a try to see if it helps. I get it from Holland & Barratt on subscribe & save which makes it a lot cheaper.

Thanks Dotty

This didn't help me...but hey ho were all different aren't we. Trial and error with all of these products isn't it!!!  What works for one doesn't work for another.

I know this is an old thread  but your post did make me laugh Kathryn. Absolutely demented with this condition. Your "erratic " observations are spot on. Did you get any relief from the Seabuckthorn by the way?

Hi Ziggy
Only just found your post I haven’t been on here for a while
It’s been a mental journey
Am recovering prolapse surgery 8 weeks ago which randomly seems to have silenced the atrophy… sure it won’t last but it’s bliss at the moment I never got to use the Seabuckthorn events took over
But have it in the back of my mind just in case

Hello
I was also going to post re: this. I bought it for someone else, hoping it would help with their symptoms - post menopause, dry eyes, and I believe VA. They only tried for a day but said it upset their stomach.

Has anyone else had this side effect? I was disappointed as really hoped it could help them - also unsure if this is long enough for them to reallt know. is there another way they could take this, or has anyone found this has happened temporarily then gone away?

I was thinking about buying a plant but they grows HUGE they does  along with enormous spines.  So have decided to enjoy the shrubs elsewhere
