Estriol 1mg cream/ovestin now burning like crazy !!
« on: January 12, 2026, 11:26:32 AM »

Hi everyone,

After 3 weeks of new treatments, interosa vaginal pessery and vaginal utrogestan plus lenzetto spray I had a really sore vagina/vulva flare up so stopped it all. ( previous using estriol inside vagina and out quite sucessfully )

Have tried to restart the estriol cream but every time my vagina is on fire  >:(

Similar thing happened and I had thrush once before.

I guess it could be a VA flare up but im sure it shouldnt burn like fire.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like you are one of many that react badly to oestrogen in its various forms. My only suggestion is to search the forum for others in the same situation and hopefully you will find answers. A miserable situation for sure!

I'd be inclined to treat for thrush anyway, you can buy oral Fluconazole cheaply online. Might be best to avoid pessaries in case it makes things worse. If it's outside rather than in also worth checking it isn't getting in contact with anything you may be allergic to.
