Hi Ladies,
Due to extreme dryness which is making me very sore and itchy, I have started to use Replens. I got the pre loaded applicator ones as I didn't fancy using the same applicator over and over again. I have had some relief from it but it's fairly expensive to do it this way. Does anyone know if it is available on prescription?
Thanks

Hi- think it might be. I've been given topical oestrogen and SYlk on prescription. x

It used to be on prescription in the late 90s/early 2000 when I was given it x

Are you also using vaginal oestrogen at least twice a week to help with this Shellb?

Yes I get it on prescription all of the time.

Has anyone tried the Boots vaginal moisurising gel?  I bought it at the weekend and am giving it a try.  I've had a post meno bleed and am awaiting the results of tests.  I had been on Ovestin for many years so thought I would come off it until I saw the consultant again.

there's a cream called Vagisan advertised on the TV recently too.

I tried all this stuff in the beginning, Replens, Sylk, Yes, Multi Gyn Actigel but the only thing that really worked and had a lasting effect is the estriol pessaries that Hurdity has mentioned, called Vagifem.

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for your replies.
Hurdity, I use Utrogestan vaginally for 12 days per cycle, I've not used the replens during this phase as I don't know if I can?
Also I have an oestrogen patch, would I still be able to use the vaginal oestrogen or is it one or the other?
All very confusing!
Thanks

Replens is no longer advised , due to osmosity levels and PH .....YES Vaginal moisturiser is a 100% natural and advised as as near as can be to our own osmosity.


Yes you can use systemic and local oestrogen and vaginal moisturiser, use oestrogen in the am / moisturiser in the pm.

There's also the estring so just leave and forget for 90 days , then if needed just the moisturiser.

Many ladies need to use vagifem 5/7 days a week , plus systemic HRT.
