Title: Vagirux during period??
Post by: Bella247 on October 04, 2023, 07:01:28 PM

I’ve been using Vagirux for vaginal dryness (with limited success but that’s another story). Does anyone know if I should continue to use it during my period? Getting in touch with my GP is a mission and I have health anxiety so I cannot bear to read any leaflets. I’ve also been using estriol on my vulva which my GP said is ok to use both.
Does anyone know if you should or it’s ok to use these during your period? I always seem to feel even worse after my period and I really want to do anything I can to minimise this because it’s really getting me down.

I used Vagifem during my periods, avoiding  heaviest days though. The worst that would happen is it wouldn't be absorbed as well. I also have always used Ovestin cream on the vulval area too.
