How long can moisturisers be used for?
« on: March 11, 2022, 04:56:19 PM »

I got my free sample of Hyalofemme today, I am on the loading dose of Ovestin until Monday.
Can I use Hyalofemme at the same time or is it best to use it after the loading dose finishes and in between the 2/3 days I use Ovestin?
I read the leaflet that came with Hyalofemme and it said use 3 times a week for a month, so it’s not a permanent treatment? A month of using should be enough?
Sorry for all the questions, still new to moisturisers although had Estriaol a few years back until anti HRT/hormone doc took me off it. Oh and I am on HRT tablets, been on them a few years.
Also, had sex today, first time for about a month and I am so scared of the UTI feeling coming back I put some Yes lube on my outside bits afterwards, is that the right thing to do or can Hyalofemme go on outside bits as well?
I’m quite confused by these moisturisers.

Stick to 1 product or you won't know what is working  :-\

Lots use 'vagifem' internally as well as 'ovestin' on the outer labia; or 'yes' or 'sylc' products.  One can use 'vagifem' or 'ovestin' every night if necessary. 

Which HRT are you taking?  Vaginal atrophy can usually be controlled with the above though a few ladies require HRT too.

Also, those that I suggested can be used nightly when required.
