Hi ladies , I'm 48 and have suffered with this complaint for about 3 years .I am on vagifem twice weekly and have just started using Ovestin. I'm finding it really sore to wee and have taking to carrying a bottle of water around with me to 'flush' myself . Have good days and bad days, unfortunately today seems like a bad one , anyone else feel the same ?

    Hi,I carry a small bottle that i got from a medical supply place..fits in my purse.I use it at home and when out.Just moisten the toilet paper and dab,i dont wipe.After a bowel movement however,i wet the toilet paper and make sure I clean myself very well.Urine irritates,so the water really helps.I also use A and d. ointment at times to protect the skin.
