However: if you have vaginal atrophy : do read our threads on here - localised HRT which is different to other forms so is unlikely to cause side-effects, is essential.
As oestrogen levels drop the body may become dry including deep in the vagina. The skin thins = irritation. So replacing that oestrogen in very small amounts really does help. 4 me it was like razor blades up there
and treatment has eased symptoms. Some ladies use Yes and Sylc products along-side either
Vagifem or
Ovestin. Do consider either if the Yes and Sylc don't help - let us know.
