Title: Hi and update on visit to docs
Post by: Knittynora on September 09, 2021, 07:03:32 AM

I posted the other week about VA and talking to doc about hrt.
Anyway I got an appointment, firstly with the nurse, then a message to see doc 20 minutes after.
Nurse took my blood pressure, heart rate, height and weight, all good. She emailed result to doc, doc said that's fine and didn't need to see me.
I told nurse I wanted to see doc as my VA was driving me mad.
So doc saw me, examined me, said I had tiny cuts on my vagina, I think I scratched myself applying hydromol.
So along with the estriol, she had prescribed everol patches in the 2nd strength.
I can slightly feel that it's there, just hope it works out for me. I've got a month's supply and have to report back.

Sounds like a good appointment. The microcuts on the vulva are a symptom of VA anyway, it doesn't mean you did the damage yourself applying Hydromol (although it pays to treat the area with caution!). The estriol cream should sort that out if you apply some to the area.
