Hi. I am just joined this group in desperation to find some genuine answers to relieve the symptoms of Atrophic Vaginitus. Im 53 was diagosed with this a year ago, 2 years after my period stopped. The vagifem pessaries prescribed make me really sore so I have stopped using them. I am using nothing at the moment but very sore and very depressed. I seem to be producing an almost toxic smell from down there a bit like amonia, it can be smelt with my clothes on, I work in a busy office and I see peoples faces often grimace or start coughing when around me.  I go home and cry often, please can anyone else let me know if they suffer from this and what actually helps. Any suggestions would be really welcome. Thanks.

    So sorry you are having such a tough time, hope you find the advice the other ladies have given helps you, you might also find balance active helpful as it really helps with the awful smell of bv and gets things more comfy down there. It's natural too so will not interfere will anything else you need to take. I always keep them in the house just in case I need them. You can get them from most chemists, boots, amazon. Do let us know how you get on and what helps so we can share with others.

      Hi nature

      thats the best thing to do as it sounds like BV and you will need to clear it with antibiotics ... 

      get a good probiotic too like Acidophilus Mega 3 bill holland and barrett

      keep the good bacteria in order ..

      wish you well 

      let us know how you get in hun..

      Hi Jay. After speaking to you I went to see the Dr yesterday. Apparently I also have a  water infection so was given Trimethoprim 200mg to take for 7 days. I also bought some Acidophilus as suggested and I will try and avoid the foods you mentioned that might aggravate the situation. And I've made an appointment to see the gynocologist in 2 weeks time.

      So lets hope there is an improvement soon! I am going to try and beat awful condition now instead of letting it get me down. All you nice ladies have motivated me. Thanks. Jan biggrin
