Hi, I am new here. I am 58 yrs old & starting having problems with atrophic vaginitis 1 1/2 yrs ago, but did not know it until I googled symptoms just last week. I had pain during sex & light bleeding. About 1 week ago I started bleeding a little with the pressure of sitting on the toilet, so I thought I wonder if I have a infection. Trying to cure my self I used yoghurt 1 week twice daily inserted. Then I tried coconut oil with garlic juice from 1 clove of pressed garlic for 2 days. On the 3rd & 4th day I added some clove oil drops to the coconut oil mix. I started bleeding a bit more & started feeling more sore, so I stopped that & only used coconut oil the last 2 days & last night I passed a blood clot so got scared. I am only using coconut oil & today I have only had a few drops blood all day. Also I feel the soreness is better in vagina. I just have no clue if its normal to bleed if you have inflamed atrophic vaginitis other than after having sex. If anyone can help by any info please help me.

    First of all I would never insert crazy things vaginally if I was bleeding.  Go to the doctor to see what your ailment is!!

    I started suffering from atrphic vaginitis some while ago but only realised what ot was when I went on this site! I was suffering from pain during intercourse and was so tight full penetration was impossible. I have been prescribed Estriol cream and had to insert every night for two weeks then every two days after that. Doctor  said to use almond oil around the opening of the vagina. Things are a liitle better but not back to normal by any means. I am perservering. I did see occassional bleeding after intercourse but this seemed to be more from a tear or bruising on the walls of the vagina and was never seen any other time. See you doctor. Hope all goes well.

      Hi Lynnne

      i have VA ( dryness) post meno no HRT

      Gyno said same to me, Ovestin vag Ovules ( estriol) i dont use nightly, i cut the ovule in half and use half twice a week ..

      also i have ovestin cream and was told to use this on outer bits aswell especially vag entrance as skin thins and can split .. Ooooch.

      been using since Sept last year and and great.. Also i have used Premeno Duo ( none HRT) vaginal Ovules.. From stress no more UK ..

      if want to cut ovules in half do it while in the seal wrapper with sharp knife or they crumble, they are very soothing and not messy like cream.. 

      cream i use just for outer bits twice a week aswell.

      Vag estriol helps with that bladder urethra sting dryness too..

      they are very good too..

      good luck hun

      jay xx
