Been to see Gynaecologist today
He said because I was young (32) when I had my hysterectomy and within 6 months my ovaries stopped working efficiently I started menopause then (have been on max dose oestrogen since then) and that now I'm nearing the end but have been dealt quite a severe one going by symptoms, but there's nothing I/they can do, it's aged my body probably earlier than it should've done, I think by that he's referring to my shoulder problem, and eye problem. He did a vaginal examination and said that I can continue to do 2x10mg vagifem 2x weekly and will write to gp and confirm (GP said I could only do 1 insertion twice weekly) and he said vagina looks and feels pre meno condition, best bit of news I had
He said I can be on my oestrogen and vagifem for life but to be mindful that after age 60 I increase risk of breast cancer but as long as I'm aware, I'm allowed to carry on
He's told me to pursue all other conditions with relevant specialists but will probably get the answer that its ageing and wear and tear
I asked about pro gest as I had started using that but phased it out and he said if there was no bad effects from it I can use that continuously, so I might introduce it again and see if there's any improvement
