I've been on HRT for 2 yrs now (peri and 47 years old). Trying to work out if the issues I'm having are because it's failing, oestrogen level has changed, I've become sensitive to something or it's another issue.
I'm on oestrogel (2.5 pumps), Utrogestan orally (12 days a month 200mcg) and Vagifem 4 times a week.
This regime plus almost daily Yes WB has kept my vaginal atrophy under control.
But for the past two weeks I've experienced signifcant soreness almost to the extent of pain in my labia and itching.
I tried increasing Oestrogel to 3 pumps (as I have been having other symptoms anyway) and using Yes daily along with a bit of Blissel topically. Sometimes these things help, sometimes they don't.
It actually went away when I had my period so I don't think this is thrush but now my period has gone, the pain was bad enough to have a paracetamol during the night. Itching still really bad.
GP will only give me a telephone call this afternoon. Not sure what that will achieve.
Any thoughts on what is going on? I do get other skin allergies now so wondering if I've become extra sensitive to something but the fact it was fine during my period suggests not.
