Morning ladies.....more advice needed 🙄......could Vagifem make my uti type symptoms worse?.....have now got latest urine culture back and all is clear however symptoms are quite bad....ie pressure feeling in lower abdomen urge to pee burning bits 😳....have tried using yes moisturiser between Vagifem doses but that stings......not got doctor appointment until next week....any advice gratefully recieved xx
Not heard of Vagifem making UTI symptoms worse, it's supposed to make us feel better!! Could you increase the dose for a while to see if that helps? It is such a tiny dose in each pessary, not really enough for a lot of people at 2 per week. The other option you could try is the Estring, I have found this works well for urinary symptoms and avoids any irritation from the fillers found in other products.
As to the Yes moisturiser, I have heard of the water-based ones stinging a bit. Personally I prefer an oil-based moisturiser such as Yes OB or Olive & Bee. The latter is very mild and only contains beeswax and olive oil. However, I do use Yes VM, the one in the single application vials, every 3rd night with no problem. Anyway, it's good news that your urine sample came back clear. I'm sure you'll feel better once you find the right regime.
