Oestrogen cream
Posted , 4 users are following.
I have got oestrogen vagina cream and none oestrogen vaginal cream from the Doc. I have been using none for a week or so and this seems to have eased raw feeling and also some bladder irritation. I have read the oestrogen cream leaflet and it has scared me a bit with some of the risks but the bladder problems including some leaking is really getting me down. I particularly worry about cancer of the lining of the womb as had a bit of a scare a couple of weeks ago but after discussion with the Doc no follow required at the moment, Is anyone else using either cream? Can you use the oestrogen cream maybe only when symptoms are worse or maybe use every other day for two weeks rather than every day. Just scared but a bit deperate too to feel better. Thanks in anticipation of some support.XXX

Still not sure which your using ..
I was really suffering with the ' sitting on a hedgehog feeling' and my gyno mentioned vaginal atrophy when he did my well woman check, i also was having a sensitive feeling of the bladder, and he suggested a little estrogen vaginal cream, its suppose to just treat that, locally not full body, mine is so soothing as its an ovule and melts and soothes, its not Estradiol, mines Estriol the weaker one,
i first used just the vaginal cream ovestin, was also told to rub a tiny bit in the outer bits especally around the vaginal entrance to plump and help the thinning skin, and it works, i just use the ovestin estriol cream for the outer bits, it can be used internally too, but i prefer the ovestin vaginal ovules they are soooo soothing and not messy.. I cut in half while they are still in the blister wrapper or otherwise they split and fall apart..
i am post meno no hrt and this was my only issue, and couldnt manage with out it, also i have a very mild uterine prolapse so it helps that too.
the general info sheets tend to discuss estrogen in full as if its taken orally aswell, where this isnt, its just locally for this problem.. not suppose to interfere with the uterine wall etc.. just helps inside vagina for the thinning dryness and also helps keep the sensitive bladder issues at bay, it works well for me, ' i am sure you can relate to all this horrible feeling' it gets you down, so a little help is what we need.. Think you have to suffer it to understand it dont you..
i have used the non hormonal premeno duo ovules too from stress no more uk site they are good too, inbetween .. Again i split them in half too 😊
good luck..

well if your not happy to use it then you must follow your heart, and do what ever is right for you personally.
