Have you ever had this problem before? If it continues, you should go back to your doctor. It might be interstitial cystitis. Very painful condition. Happily iit istreatable now. I will warn you that some doctors don't believe it is a real diagnosis. Good luck, hope you feel better.

Hi all, been following your discussion. Has anyone noticed a difference in painful intercourse? We have pretty much given up on it and I don't want to, but due to no hormones, no desire - and the knowledge that it is going to hurt -- I feel bad obviously for husband too. Was given prescription for Estrace (I think it was, it was a compound) and nearly dropped my jaw when I went to get it and it was over $150 and that was half with my insurance -- is that what you Estrace users was paying? I didn't get it, I was pretty angry about the cost... I'm trying Vit. E and something called Pure or something, the coconut oil on the entrance, as that is where the main issue seems to be, the vag. opening is tight, smaller... we haven't tried sex since trying these things... its so discouraging..
I used the Estring for a few months and was just getting some good response, when the last two times, the ring had attached itself to my cervix and the last time had to have husband get it out. Not TOO embarrassing!! So I stopped that, it was scary.
Would appreciate any more info on Estrace and if it is the same cream that I was prescribed, if you paid that exorbitant price on it... thank you so much for talking about this!!

wow that is a lot for estrace ! I paid $15 for a months supply after my insurance. Now I use yuvafem the new generic for vagifem and only pay a $5 copay for 12 doses. Yuvafem is just a little pill in a small applicator. Each applicator is wrapped and only used once, no cleaning and reusing like estrace. And not messy. I can't feel the little pill at all. I'm grateful for our insurance through fed ex

I had the Mona Lisa touch done. Doc gave me a fourth treatment but since then I feel a little burning and use coconut oil. I was getting burning in my urethra and it took four docs before I was diagnosed I also have ic and overactive bladder which I take Valium for. So peeing a lot can start the burning. I had breast cancer so cannot take estrogen of any form. I'm sick of this but coconut oil so refreshing

My Dr. used numbing gel before each treatment. She just told me that she would use it, I didn't ask. I didn't have much pain at all during the procedure.

Mine charges only $500/ session. Same price for tune-up. The price hasn't gone up since I started this. I can tell things are much improved.

The internal part down't feel much of the procedure but my doctor always uses a strong numbing cream on the outside specifically for that initial stage. They have to dry out the vagina completely so that makes it worse as there is not lubrication as minimal as it might be with this condition.

I'm on the central coast in California and it is $2000 for all 3 sessions or $750 per. My doctor says that sometimes you need to get it done once a year after for maintenance but since I'm on hormones (estrogen) I shouldn't need this. That would be for women not on hormones or who no longer produce estrogen.
