I am using vagefem and have LS. I think that my symptoms may be worse after using vagefem and my symptoms of urinary frequency are worse after inserting vagefem.

    Same thing happened to me. Tried twice years apart to be able to tolerate but could not. I felt I had an allergy to it. Don't use it if it does not agree with you.

    Same thing happened to me I had to stop after only a few days of using them. I had a flare up , luckily things have gone back to a stable state now. Just have to resign myself to a sexless future

    Thanks Carole for the heads up.  I've had 11 UTI's this year.  Cypro helps but I hate being on this all the time.

    I went through a stretch where it was just one UTI after another. Tried many things but always ended up using a mac pac. Macrobid. It's an older solution but I still recommend it to my girls when they have issues and it still works.
