This horrible problem will never go away. I have suffered for about 3 years with AV, been to the Dr's so many times and have tried all the usuual hormone and non hormone treatments, they either had no effect or made the problem worse. My GP referred me to a Gyn Con and she prescribed Estring which is a silicone ring impregnated with estrogen ( spelling ! ), anyway it's left in place for 3 months then replaced with a new one and so far it has worked very well, had flare ups now and again but combined with a steriod cream I can manage. Trouble is it can only be used for a max of 2 years so after that back to square one. If men suffered with this a cure would have been found by now !

Couldn't agree more!!! As I mentioned before, I live in France and here my gynae prescribed Colpotrine - both capsules and cream - to be used twice weekly. The theory is that this amount of estrogen will combat AV- two problems there. It doesn't always work PLUS it causes other side effects like sore breasts, itching etc.
Please, does anyone have a long-term solution to this horrible problem?

I'm 70 but experienced no problems until last year. Now I really suffer for VA. I am UK born but live in france and my urologist, here, recomended Colpotrophine. It comes in the form of pessaries and cream. I insert the pessary twice weekly + use the cream, externally, at the same time. I do this at night as it can be slightly messy. Generally, since following this procedure, i am virtually free from horrid effects. Product I believe is produced by Theramex. Maybe you can chat with your gyne and get something similar. No problem with intercourse. Hope it works and good luck
