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.

    Hi nature angel, I'm Ruanda. I have just been treated with a prescription from my ob/GYN for BV. It didn't work. I'm also still p!Abuse with this clear ammonia-smelling discharge. I need help as well. I never had this problem, until I reached my 30's. I am now 40. Hope we can find a solution. It is embarrassing.Ruanda.

      Hi Ruanda.

      Your body is reacting to sugar. Lower your intake to no more than 42 grams a day. If you drink fruit juice and/or soda, those are your biggest culprits. (A glass of fruit juice can have as much as 33 grams of sugar!). Alcohol has a ton of sugar, too.

      Lower/monitor your sugar intake, and watch your issue dissipate.

      Good luck and big hugs!!
