Hi Ayesha
It will be so useful
I always feel on “the back foot” when I’m at the GP I’m not usually a submissive person and can hold my own in any argument but this has taken all the fight out of me
I’ve recently been put onto Vagifem post op previously I was on Intrarosa after a long history of problems but my gynaecologist wanted me to retry vagifem as he felt it more suitable. I have to give it 3 months so currently trying to cope with some negative effects which I hope will pass 🤞
Just a thought how would I access a downloadable copy that I could print ??

I should have mentioned it was a telephone review which probably made it more easy on the nerves although I was very anxious as I thought another battle on my hands. You seem to have a good Gynae there with sound advice given I feel and your GP should go by their advice.

I printed the document from the link, it was straight forward to do it that way as I have a printer.

I've been on vagifem since 2021 and evorel conti since 2022.
Up until now vagifem has worked well, although I've had to reload on a few occasions. However atm, I've done a 2 week reload, but still getting bladder symptoms, so am continuing with daily until I see Gp in two weeks.

Hi shoefreak - correct.  As our hormones rise and fall the body may become drier: inside and out; ears, nostrils, skin, scalp, vagina, between the toes  ::)

Have U thought to take some pain relief to help the symptoms?  Also mayB add a vagifem in the morning as well as at night for 3 mornings?  We have threads on VA all over the Forum!
