Title: Estriol again!
Post by: lor.com on April 13, 2024, 11:59:14 AM

Hi all. Started with estriol last night. Also have YES cream to use as well. Symptoms were burning dragging thrush like symptoms. Horrid and very very unpleasant. Can it start working instantly? Don’t know if it’s my mind playing tricks but seems much better already!  Chuffed!

Glade you're feeling better already. I think these creams can also have somewhat of a moisturing effect which can be soothing, though they are designed to be absorbed into the vaginal and skin tissues. If the skin is broken and sore then sometimes it can sting as I have found (problems at outer upper labia join) and have to use savlon until healed.

Hopefully onwards and upwards for you :)

Thank you. No broken skin thankfully.
