Hi, asking for my mum who is in her 70’s as the medical profession seem to be as much use as a chocolate teapot. Or un-contactable!
She used vagifem for ages no worries until a prolapse op in November when she has to stop for a while and as no one told her to go back on she was off for 3 months.
A few issues with granulation tissue post op led to the prescription of estriol cream. They said it’s stronger than vagifem. Is that true?
This was to help the healing process. Anyway it was a v high dose. Morning and night for 3 weeks, just night for two weeks and now due to go to twice weekly. Problem is she’s had bleeding like a period, sore boobs plus period like cramps the last two weeks. Checked out at hospital - no issues. In my mind this is the estriol cream.
Any experience of this with others?
We are looking to swap her back to vagifem since the original issues have gone. How does she swap back can she just go to twice a week as she’s had the estriol cream (a whopping dose) for the last few weeks or would she need to do the 2 week loading dose again?
Many thanks ladies x
