First of all, thank you to all you for this great website & for all the posters who offer advice .. I have been lurking for a while & found it really helpful & it was actually recommended by my doctor which is encouraging to think they know about it.
My question is about a feeling of something pressing down, made worse when i sit.
I was on Vagifem for VA as I am extremely dry but found they were not dissolving properly so the doctor put me on Estriol cream 0.01% which has worked well(ish) alongside Dr Wolffes cream. Then recently, I had the same old symptoms, felt like a UTI, did the urine samples which didn't reveal any infection. The doctor gave me meds for Thrush, & said if that didn't change anything to go back to the base 2 week daily loading with the Estriol cream.
About 3 days into this, I noticed irritation on sitting, like i was sitting on a ****ly ball & it was very uncomfortable. I immediately thought 'prolapse' or 'hernia' & after 2 days of worry & soreness I was back in touch with the doctor. She called me in for an internal examination & says I have a very slight prolapse but that is common in all women who have had children. Apart from that, all looks healthy & she has no concerns. All sounds good, but I still have that feeling of 'something there'! Lying down is great, i got up this morning & all was fine, but within 20 mins sitting at the computer, i feel it ..
I am 62 & have mild back problems & IBS, but apart from that am in good health. I have had VA symptoms for probably 8 years but have only been treated for it for the past two, as my first doctor just dished out the antibiotics as with many women.
I hope someone can offer me advice, is this going to settle? Its only a week since i had my internal & I was so relieved when the doctor said she wasn't concerned, but frustrated there is still a problem .. just hate having to keep going back ..
Thank you in advance ..
