Hi jazzfunkane

Glad to hear your bladder is OK. Is this Vagifem you've been given? Don't know why the urologist would shake his head! Did he say something? You don't need to be referred to a gynae for VA! If you are menopausal and are having vaginal/bladder problems then your tissues will benefit from local oestrogen that you've been prescribed. it may well also help your bladder problem too.

I would just go ahead as your GP recommended but if this GP is sympathetic and understands menopause then perhaps mention what the gynae said on your next visit?
