Morning Orba. As oestrogen levels drop the body may become dry including the vulva. So if 'vagifem' has worked thus far but symptoms have returned, then do begin a 2-3 weeks reloading, sometimes using a pessary mid day and another at night can help too. As can a moisturiser such as 'sylc', 'yes' or 'ovestin' around the labia.When I get the need2P symptoms I take 2 Nurofen, 3 times a day to ease the nip as the urine flow stops.Was the UTI diagnosed in a Lab.? Let us know how you get on.
Hi, I'm so glad I spotted this thread, I've just had the exact symptoms as the op. I have an appointment with my gp next month but I am so uncomfortable again I though I'd check on here. I am post menopause though, (late 60s) so do you think it will still be ok to do the loading dose again? Thank you.

I am sorry to hear you are so uncomfortable. I need to use VA treatment every single day or I become very sore.

It's a shame cos things were going so well, I've been using it for nearly a year and hadn't had a uti for just over a year. I couldn't believe it last week when I got that horrible familiar burning start, I was prescribed antibiotics and since then my bladders felt so irritated just like it used to. Finger crossed this will put it right, thanks again. Vianne x
