Estriol cream.
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi.
Ive been suffering for a few months now with feeling dry down below and stinging when i pee. Its been such a rollercoaster ride for me being in and out of the doctors trying to get to the bottom of finding out what the problem is. Ive had swabs, blood tests, urine samples.. antibiotics (many courses) and all came back clear etc. Its only when i moved from home to a different town with my partner, registisering at the doctors here they told me its a UTI and that im lack of oestrogen. Ive been prescribed estriol cream with the applicator using twice a day for 2 weeks then after that once a night for 2 weeks. Im hoping this works for me as this problem has been brimming my self asteem down for a while now, the pain is sometimes unbearable and VERY uncomfortable. It lasts a little while then can go for days or even over a month then just hit me hard unexpectedly. :-( as of my age 23 i wouldnt of expected to experience something like this. Totally oblivious to these kind of problems. I wouldnt wish this on anybody and for all of you in this forum i hope it works a treat too.

I haven't had the vaginal dryness yet but I have heard that the cream works. I have been told HRT helps when the Estrogen levels are more stable. I think I am going to try it because I'm only 44 and postmenopausal. Talk to your gyno about HRT. Hope the cream works.

Mines in the same place, the Urethra, does it give you tummy ache sometimes?
Will laying off the fatty food and chocolate help it also? Ive not thought about any of that effecting it. Will it ever go thats the question. Im not on the pill no. :-) x

Hi Hannah I have been prescribed the same treatment even though I do not have any uti's or infection or burning pains and do not suffer dryness. I just get terrible razor sharp pains when trying to have intercourse. Dr seems to believe these pesseries will resolve my problem so will start the course as suggested and see what happens.
Hope the treatment works for you too Hun as if you have pain like me I can completely understand your desperation. Thinking of you xxx😀

Hi Hannah I do feel for you as it sounds like you have really painful problems which must be so draining and frustrating.
No, my doc didn't say about my hubby soaking up any of the cream as I think she presumed we wouldn't try until the discomfort had gone. I did smile though as I wonder what would happen if they did soak it up??
I'll keep you posted and send you best wishes for relief of your symptoms ASAP. Take care xxxx
