I am 67 - I have been on Evorel 25 patches and Utrogestan 100mg orally for 2 years and separately, Mirtazapine 30mg. I have found diarrhoea problems constantly to the point I can't leave the house without loperamide in case of accidents. Now my GP has given me Evorel Conti patches - I'm 6 weeks into them. While the diarrhoea is lessening - my problem now is that my arthritic knees are just very sore and clicking again. I used to be able to run up and down the stairs - not now. Also my mood and motivation has dipped a lot. My GP said give the Evorel Conti patches a try, and if they don't work, said he could offer Utrogestan vaginal pessaries - although he cannot guarantee that they will protect the womb lining as well as the patches. So I guess I'm just asking if the vaginal pessaries will be just as awful for diarrhoea? Thanks for any help.
