There are other ways of sexual intercourse in order to avoid penetration. How often are you using the
Vagifem? Initially the dose was 25 I think, then it was dropped to 10, so some ladies need every night use or even to use two each night. It's a bit Trial and Error. It does work, some ladies find that other products:
Sylc for example: helps the outer labia regions. The idea is to keep the whole area as supple as possible.
I have
ovestin prescribed which works for me. 4 me it was like razor blades up there
presenting as repeated urine infection-type symptoms, fortunately my GP was on the ball!
As oestrogen levels drop so the body may become dry: eyes, skin, nostrils, deep in the ears, vagina
. Also the muscles may become lax = aches and pains. Over the counter pain relief can help. 4 me it has been itchy insteps - as I take off my socks at night and step into the bath. Also, itchiness across the back and shoulders, like I haven't dried my skin properly but somehow, from inside. A gentle rub from Himself really helps.
Deep in the ears
we call it 'spaniel ear' ........ the temptation to put something narrow in for a Very Good Scratch is over-whelming at times.
Browse round. Make notes. My GP suggested that using testosterone would cause my voice to lower. Some debate this. However, my sex drive did return. In the mean time I had to 'lay back and think of England' as well as giving lots of time, eventually my nethers would join in
. Making sure that I wasn't too tired helped. Also enough lubricant!
You ramble away. Some ladies find that keeping a mood/food/symptom diary of use. As is gentle exercise and a varied diet. A little of what we fancy
.
You can request a bone density scan from your GP. The best place to have it is across the pelvis and hips as this is the deepest place, I had several on my feet/ankles arranged by work. Was advised to 'up' my diet, what ever that meant
. We cook from scratch [well DH does ;-)] most nights, lots of variation. Beef burgers made from fresh ingredients. We grow as much as we are able to. Exercise - well 'must do better' !
Have the cysts been sent away to histology ever? Do they form cyclical?
