Help to stop burning associated with AV
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi I have recently been diagnosed with VA after 9 months of various doctors appointments and tests. My main problems were pressure in the bladder especially first thing in the morning with the need to wee more than once causing discomfort and spasms and constant burning down below.
I was given Vagifem which I took for 2 months but it did not help. My last visit to a new consultant has confirmed that VA is the problem. I am 48 and my cyle is erractic and am peri-menopause. I am now using Estriol cream every other day at night- so far so good as it is early days. My consultant said that the burning was probably caused by the urine againt the soreness and recommended that before I wee I use lubricating gel on my bits before urinating. This helps as a barrier and protects the skin from further trauma. I thought I would post the idea incase anyone else if having the same problems. This is a horrible condition that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel.

I used Vagifem for about 6 months but it didn't help. Like you, I've now got Estriol cream to use but owing to strokes being in the side effects, and having lost my mum to a bad stroke 6 months ago, I'm too scared to use it!
I think I will have to do like you consultant said and use lubricating gel before weeing.
I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy either. Some days it has me rooted to the spot so I don't want to go anywhere or do anything.
I am trying Balance Active gel on a night and also VIt E Suppositorys in between times. And I use Hydromol on the outside as well.
Hope this helps.

I would give it a go. It is called Sutherland lubricating jelly which you can get from Amazon. I just use it before I need to go and then wipe it off afterwards. Its really helping me at the moment. Hope it helps you. Take care
