Hi all, I am interested in your opinions please
I am 67yrs old, had a hysterectomy at 45yrs and went on hrt patches then got breast cancer at 50yrs and had to come off hrt. A couple of years ago started with niggling itching and burning I didn't know anything about va but eventually got dx and started with ovestin.
I have been on ovestin ( now estriol ) for14 months and I keep getting horrible flare ups, in-between flare ups its bareable but still miserable. I am seriously thinking of asking for hrt patches because I don't think topical estrogen is enough. I did mention it to one gp and she looked horrified and brought breast cancer risk up, the other lady gp I've seen is more sympathetic about va but it's very hard to get an app with her. My cancer was her2 positive and estrogen negative. Any opinions on going back to hrt after 17yrs (Pro or against) welcome.l hate my miserable life at the moment..
