Morning ive just watched this, v informative. I posted just yesterday about having cystitis again after really a 3 or 4 year haitus while using vagifem. Im wondering if its not now working so well for me even though i did the two week reload and then try and use every other night. Does the estriol you use come with an applicator?
I have recently had a similar experience. I will add a bit more to this later when on my laptop.
My symptoms have been much better since starting Vagifem nearly 2 years ago and Evorel Conti patches just over a year ago. However I do get occasional bouts of cystitis. Usually this responds to treatment with bicarb of soda in water and Nurofen. However I have had it 3 times in the past 6 weeks, starting a couple of weeks after having a hysteroscopy. I am wondering whether I acquired a mild/low grade UTI during the procedure.Eventually, 2 days ago, I decided to take a 7 day course of Trimethroprim which i had as a backup. Things did start to improve quite quickly. I now need to wait and see if the cystitis comes back again after finishing the course.
Estriol does come with an applicator but I found it messy to use and it irritated me badly. Vagifem works much better.
