AV treatment - lubricating gels?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I'm post-menopausal - 69 - and have had vaginal itching and discomfort for a few months now. Sex is uncomfortable. I also take Nortriptyline, which I know has a drying effect on tissues. The itching and discomfort are the only symptoms. I've not been examined, but mentioned the symptoms to my practice nurse who agreed to prescribe a lubricating gel - Sylk. However, after using it, I find that relief from the itching doesn't seem to last very long.
I'm going to try other gels to see if the effect is better. Have others tried different gels? Do some work better than others? I'd be grateful for some advice.

I have a cupboard brimming with every lotion, potion and snake oil on the market but most seem to have the same active ingredients.
From a sexual intercourse point of view I find Yes the best as it is really thick and coats the skin best there is a vanilla smelling one too but personally they both smell the same.
I also use their Yes moisturising gels available on prescription.
I like these because they are individual, discreet and come in a pretty organza bag plus with either free or 3month paid prescriptions as I now have they are economic It has, and is costing me a fortune in non=prescription items,
