Hi I am 75 and have been over my menopause for a long time , or so I thought but was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago with the above and was given a steroid ointment Dermovate and also an oestrogen Ovesten.
After 3 days my vagina was red raw and burning more than before so the doctor said to stop all ointments for a week. Since then I've restarted the Ovestin two days ago and though I'm still very sore it's not so bad so I'm hoping I'll be ok just on oestrogen. It still kills me when I pass urine as it burns badly it's like I've got cystitis but it's not that. Is anyone else suffering with this problem as it's making me feel really depressed not knowing if it will get better.
