Had a very easy menopause really, but amnow suffering from VA (56). Saw GP and she presribed me vagifem 10- one vaginal tablet daily for 3 months and then 3 weeks off. Then repeat this cycle. I had to go back this week because she wanted to do my smear herself. Low and behold I have anterior and posterior vaginal bulges which require surgery so she referred me. She asked how long I had symptoms- occassional urinary and faecal incontinence and I said years. Anyway, she told me that had I had my smear done by a GP over the past few years, I may possibly not be suffering as much now. I asked her again about tge vagifem regime saying that according to the manufacturers info it was one tablet for 14 nights then twice a week- she confirmed that she had said 3 months on , 3 weeks off.
Should I follow her advice or the manufacturers? I don't want to see a Gynae Consultant in next couple of months to be told that I've been taking it too much .
