I started on vagifem for dryness issues 4 weeks ago. Since when I have felt worse. I often feel like I need to go to the loo, more than before and last night I got this vaginial stinging sensation which is still persisting, though doesn't hurt to wee, no problems there. I am still extremely dry down there. I don't have any moisturises, wondered about using moroccon oil (as it doesn't contain perfumes) as a temporary measure. Feeling uncomfortable, not sure if I can feel pressure too as if everythings going to come out. Feeling a bit anxious about it.
Hi Shropshirelass
You may well be sorted out by now, but I just thought I would mention that I had the same problems with Vagifem. I finally moved onto an estrogen gel called Estriol vaginal gel with applicator, which works really well. I can honestly say my VA symptoms and bladder/cystitis type issues have gone.
I also supplement with another gel as when needed if I start to feel a bit of dryness or if I feel cystitis might be creeping back, which I bought after reading the Menopause Matters magazine. The gel is safe to use along side the Estriol and is called Gynomunal Vaginal Moisturising Gel for Menopause.
Anyway good luck x
