Title: Any advice welcomed
Post by: Patsie on February 05, 2024, 06:18:06 PM

I have been experiencing vaginal discomfort for the last 2 weeks.  I am on Vagifem and estriol cream which I increased to a few more during the week but could not get rid of the feeling that there was something stuck inside.  It may sound silly but it felt like a bubble which I wanted to pop!  :-\ 

When to see nurse who took a swab which has come back normal and was told no sign of a prolapse but that did not mean there could be one in the future.  Now got me worried there’s one coming!

I am unsure whether to do the 2 week reload or not.  Have started using olive and bee which has relieved some of the external soreness but still feels it’s “buzzing” at times.  Is this the nerve ends drying out??

Any advice would be welcome

It's quite ok to increase the vagifem but I'd tell your Dr as if it's on a repeat prescription the pharmacy will question why you're running out quicker  :)

Get some VA treatment up there ASAP, every night for 2-3 weeks.
