Hi ladies,
I was prescribed Vagifem as it was clear my long-term Estring had become insufficient for my quite severe GSM/VA state. Then I was prescribed Ovestin twice weekly for the external area, too. So, Vagifem × 3 weekly and Ovestin x2 weekly on different days. All in tandem with Estring. Now, this may seem a lot, but with the Estring proving inadequate, additional treatment was required and is starting to prove beneficial. However, the specialist is now saying we can perhaps consider "simplifying" the regime and, to the gp, potentially dropping the Vagifem. Now, to me, if I need this regime, I need it and a recent painful speculum examination shows that I may even need more not less as less implies something is "fixed"? I thought once VA is needing treatment, it's pretty much that for life? Any thoughts? 🤔
