Hi ladies,
On hrt but still very itchy!!
Is vagisan better than vagisil - using yes at the moment along with vagifem, but it's just not cutting it!!
Advice please x
-
Use more 'vagifem'. Some ladies need nightly use, some needs 2 doses occasionally and every night. Along with over the counter pain relief.
I find 'ovestin' helps me. Some use 'yes' or 'sylc' products too.
-
How often are you using the Vagifem?
-
I'm using Vagifem 2-3 times per week. Been on oestrogel about 6 weeks using 3 pumps per day for last week. Using Yes vm morning & night & sometimes during day x
-
I use 3 pumps of Oestrogel but still need Vagifem every day, i don't use any moisturisers ,how long have you been using Vagifem?
I would up your dose, i never managed on 2/3 a week.

Hi Tinkerbell,
Does your gp prescribe the Vagifem that often? Mine only gives me 12 at one time x
-
Yes, my named Gp wouldn't but i found another one in the practice who was sympathetic and is happy to prescribe daily use, i dread the day he retires!
-
That's great Tinkerbell, thanks. I'll try using it every day & hope he'll give me more x
-
If symptoms irritate I use 2 doses Ovestin in one day: mid-afternoon and another in the evening along with pain relief 3 x Nurofen.
