Have you tried full hrt?  Or multigyn actigel or balance active?  I have been known to wash with OH's demol.

I do not like the swollen effect  >:(

You need to sit in a cool bath with bicarbonate of soda in it.  Dry with a soft warm towel then lay in the nuddy to dry thoroughly.  See your Practice Nurse this week?  It could be the cover around the active ingredient rather than the Vagifem.

Have you tired LIVE yoghurt applied, it's soothing  ;)

I don't know if this is good for foofs, but for piles it's recommended to fill a rubber glove with water and then freeze. You then have finger sized bits if insertable ice

I had the rubber glove of ice after the birth of my first baby  :o

Sometimes I feel swollen - it seems to get worse with own hormones working, constipation, hrt not working, low on vagifem, using vagifem, imminent infection (or 'not' infection), or just because............
