vaginal dryness
Posted , 5 users are following.
I am on my 5th day of vagifem and the entire area is itching like mad with mild burning. I also suffer from Lichen sclerosus and i am sure it has just triggered this back off again. I dont know what to do, should i continue. Is there anyone who knows of natural alternatives.

Corticosteroid ointments or creams are commonly prescribed for lichen sclerosus. Initially, you'll generally have to use cortisone creams or ointments on the affected skin daily. After several weeks, your doctor will likely recommend that you only use these medications twice a week to prevent a recurrence. Your doctor will monitor you for side effects associated with prolonged use of topical corticosteroids, such as thinning of the skin.
Other treatment options
If corticosteroid treatment doesn't work or if months of corticosteroid therapy are needed, other treatments your doctor may prescribe include:
Immune-modulating medications, such as tacrolimus (Protopic) and pimecrolimus (Elidel)
Ultraviolet light treatment, for nongenital areas
Topical sex hormones are sometimes prescribed to treat lichen sclerosus, but recent research suggests that these medications aren't as effective for this condition as the treatments above.

There is something natural that I do every night to help ease my vaginal dryness. I went through menopause without any HRT or anything because my mother had breast cancer. What I do , is every night , I break open two capsuls of Vitimin E and squeeze the liquid out and rub it all up inside my private parts and around my prolapse bladder. There is lots of relief from the dryness and it is all natural. Just make sure you are not allergic to Vitimin E. Is there anyone else on this forum who has a prolapse? I can help with a solution for that as well. Blessings to you
