Title: Vaginal and bladder problems
Post by: Blackcat75 on May 15, 2021, 11:37:43 AM

I have had the menopause the last 6 years. I am 46 now. I suffer from bladder issues feeling the need to pee constantly. I am on Femiston Conti and Vagifem every 3rd day. The last couple of weeks I have taken a vagifem every day. But no relief in fact felt worse. More pressure down below plus burning sensation. Also my backside is sometimes sore and itchy. So sick of feeling like this.😢
Would this mean my menopause is getting worse.

Thanks for any advice given😄

Not getting worse but symptoms can become troublesome particularly VA.

Use the 'vagifem' nightly, some ladies require 2 doses at once every 5th day for a while.  Do U use any 'ovestin' on the outer vaginal areas, this can keep it more comfy..  I take 2 Nurofen 3 times a day to ease the need2P feelings.

Thanks for the reply. 

No I don't use ovestin. Will ask the doctor about it. Hopefully that will help.

It is more troublesome. Sick of this feeling.😔
