Would vagifem help with reducing the amount of trips to the loo, have been taking Jude with good results however they make me feel nauseous and bloated so looking for an alternative, I’m already on hrt.

If its due to Vaginal Atrophy then topical oestrogen will help.
Personally I find Vagifem doesn't help me on the outside but Estriol cream works much better.

Yes, Vagifem should help. The bladder and urethra are dependent on oestrogen to stay in good shape. Your frequent loo trips are probably due to the Genitourinary Symptoms of Menopause (GSM), also known as Vaginal Atrophy (VA). Systemic oestrogen doesn't always help with GSM and some women need local oestrogen treatment as well. If you decide to use Vagifem, insert about two thirds of the way up and aim for the anterior wall of the vagina (ie, close to the bladder)..
