Hi All,
I’m really hoping someone can help, as I don’t know what best to do. My background is I have been on continuous HRT for over 2 years ( patches and utrogestan), but for most of that time, had issues where after having estradiol blood tests, it showed I was not absorbing eostrogen whatsoever. I had been suffering symptoms of bad anxiety and insomnia all that time, but thought that it was ‘normal’. I also had post menopausal bleeding, which was investigated and my endometrium was atrophic (no lining) and is now believed to have been caused by low oestrogen. I take a medication which can cause HRT problems, so there can be a need for adjustment.
Fast forward to now. My GP didn’t know what to do, so since June I decided to go to a private gynae who inserted a mirena coil, which has been fine since, so that’s all good. It’s my 3rd coil, but my first on HRT. I then saw a private menopause specialist about my oestrogen issues, with a view to once being settled in something and a dose that works, I’d be referred back to my GP. I’ve been on 3 sprays Lenzetto, for 6 weeks now and symptoms have improved slightly, though still not perfect, but I’m thinking that as I’m virtually starting again, it might still take time. However, I do have an embarrassing problem now…
Every evening, (never during the day), if I’ve been sitting down for a long period, watching TV etc after dinner, when I get up, a large amount of wind comes out from my vagina area. I know it’s that part as I can feel it. There is no smell, but it carries on coming out very noisily for about 2 or 3 minutes
sometimes a watery, or slightly white discharge also comes out during the day and also at that time, when all the wind is coming out. My son and husband hear it and I have to tell them where it’s coming from and they both laugh, but it’s every night now.
I’m worried now about going out and seeing friends as there is nothing I can do to stop it happening when it does. It stops after a couple of minutes and then is no more until the following evening. I did have a minor amount of similar wind, hardly noticeable before I had a coil and Lenzetto, so something had definitely changed. I used to have a watery, white discharge before I went on Lenzetto.
Does anyone else suffer anything similar? What is it? My menopause specialist also thought I had been suffering vaginal atrophy when I wasn’t absorbing the oestrogen and I have some vagifem pessaries, but I haven’t started using them yet. I do still feel a little dry down below, but was hoping that the Lenzetto would help there. I have a further estradiol test booked for a couple of weeks time and then a follow up call with my specialist in September.
Please someone help!
Thankyou,
Teresa
