Hi everyone,
I'm continuing on my journey with coming off HRT. I've been off the patches for a while and things seem to be settling down.
I started on Vagirux about 4 weeks ago, which seems to be helping dryness internally a bit, although I do think I need some oestrogen cream externally too.
The only side effect appears to be tenderness/slight pain similar to period pain/v. full bladder. More discomfort than pain really. Is this actually a side-effect and if so, is it likely to go?
I have been very sensitive to the Yam-based oestrogen previously and less so to soy-based products (e.g. evorel better tolerated than estradot). I can't find out what vaginal oestrogen products are made from anywhere, as I'd like to use soy-based if at all available. Any thoughts where I might find this info, as I can't find it on any patient info leaflets.
