Hello all,
I started on Ovestin for vaginal atrophy 7 months ago and it initially gave some relief although very messy (I thought), I became very very sore a couple of weeks later, so I was given Vagifem with ovestin on vulva and it is still very sore. It feels like I am swollen (I am not), burning and that I am dry still (but most of the time I am not). I started systemic HRT 5 months ago but this does not seemed to have helped the atrophy. Otherwise, I can tolerate all other symptoms fro peri menopause. I am still having periods and I am 55. I am wondering if I am allergic or irritated by the fillers in ovestin and vagifem and maybe estring will help. I also use Yes VM and Sylk when needed. It is most uncomfortable and I worry I am making things worse with so much going on down there. I am sue a blood test next week to ascertain if I am absorbing the oestrogen. Does this sound familiar to anybody and help or advice would be gratefully received. I thought I was an intelligent women and that I may have got flushes, night sweats and erratic periods but nothing about Vaginal dryness, boy have I been educated, x
