Hi SammieJane yes, that’s exactly how I feel. Not using anything for it though but speaking to the GP on Monday. Isn’t Ovestin Supposed to stop the soreness?

[CLKD]

'vagifem' and 'ovestin' are for vaginal atrophy.  As oestrogen levels drop so the body may become dry - including the vagina. 

Do let us know how you get on during the phone call, mayB make a list B4 so that you don't forget anything?

Thanks CLKD I will do. Good to know it’s an actual condition as I have suffered a while on & off wondering how can it be a prolapse if it comes & goes. I shall start a list now! Thank you.

[CLKD]

Oh apparently a prolapse can up and down all of it's own free will  - mayB put 'prolapse' into the search box I am sure others have mentioned it?

That’s so weird! Makes you wonder how it goes back up!

[CLKD]

Lack of oestrogen can cause laxity of muscles 

If it is a prolapse you may benefit from a physio. who specialises in that area.

Still seems odd to come & go. Ok, thanks for the tips. Will ask on Monday. My list is growing!

GP going to examine me tomorrow. Will update then.

[CLKD]

That's good!

Update. Saw a gynaecologist today. Prescribed Ovestin cream for Atrophy & referred for physio to strengthen pelvic floor.
