Has anyone tried Osphena?  My GYN recommended it to help with the atrophy.  It is a hormone that only helps the vaginal tissue.  It does not affect breast tissue.  I am willing to try it to get relief from the vulva and vaginal burning.  Thanks.

    I used it for about 6 months it did take 3 months before I saw improvement. I am now on intrarosa because the osphena caused spotting. Hope it helps you.

      Hi Erica,

      Thanks for your response.  May I ask what symptoms you had prior to taking Osphena?

      Thanks.

      Hi Maryann, I had vaginal dryness, burning, sometimes itching, bleeding after intercoarse and urgency with urination.   Osphena was the first thing I had used that actually gave me relief but unfortunately I had to stop taking it because of the spotting other than that I had no other side effect.
