Title: Confused by my own body!
Post by: helen2024 on October 08, 2025, 08:04:29 PM
I’ve been using vaginal oestrogen for a few years now and initially everything went well. A few months ago everything seemed to change. I thought I needed to recharge with Vagifem because I was getting a vaginal discharge quite badly and every day. GP suggested I try Ovestin so I tried that as a recharge and things appeared better…….for a while. Then it started to make me very sore so I stopped it and went back to Vagifem.
I’m now in a situation where I’m only using Vagifem about once a week and everytime I do I get discharge again but a few days in it lessens again.
I know VA doesn’t go away. So why does it seem that suddenly using a lot less is better for me?
Any pearls of wisdom please?
