Avatar f tn I was without estrogen for some time in this year, and then I used local estrogen (Vagifem) and Vaginal balans. My vagina and vaginal atrium and urethra are in poor condition. I have also had osteopenia previously. And I have hypercalcemia, I should not use calcium pills. Could it be possible that I have cystitis or vaginitis? I hardly have any discharge from vagina. I had my first bacterial vaginitis in January this year. I had abnormal bleeding before it.
Avatar f tn Have your family physician send you to a urologist for a cysto exam, I suffered with the same symptoms for years progressively getting worse before being sent at age 51. The cytoscopy discerned the lining in the bladder was virtually gone and I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis.
Avatar f tn m 34 and after a recent visit to a gyno she prescribed me vagifem suppositories and betnovate cream. I am not menopausol or anything. I've just had gyno issues in past few months of a burning sensation inside my vagina and sometimes outside too. It is very uncomfortable at times. She prescribed me vagifem and betnovate to use for 3 months consistently before I go back to her. I'm worried after reading on internet about cancer being linked to it and so on.
Avatar n tn I am 58 and three years post menopause. I have been using Vagifem for over a year and love it. No side effects for me or my husband. I have read a lot about it and it seems to be widely thought of as an effective remedy for vaginal dryness in a way that does not let the estrogen be absorbed by the body. I will continue to use it.
Avatar f tn Hello Doctor, I have a question based on a helpful response you gave me earlier. When Vagifem or Estrace is prescribed for a post menopausal woman with a uterus, should a progestin always be prescribed as well? I've been taking Vagifem for 2 years without a progestin, and now I have to undergo an endometrial biopsy because of some buildup of the lining of my uterus (I have no bleeding....it showed up on an TV ultrasound...small changes and endometrial thickness of 5mm).
Avatar f tn I have recently been started on Vagifem and in the last 3 days have had copiou amounts of greenish watery vaginal discharge. Should I be concerned it is very annoying.
Avatar m tn I have been prescribed 2x daily Vagifem tablets as part of a fertility treatment with Clomid. I have been told that should I fall pregnant I would have to continue this treatment for 6 further weeks (~8 weeks treatment with Vagifem in total).
Avatar m tn I used vagifem for two years and stopped for about one month. I want to start up again.
Avatar f tn Could my period be late and sore boobs because of vagifem??
Avatar f tn ll stop taking the Vagifem until I speak to her, but does anyone know if Vagifem is a risk factor if you have a post menopausal ovarian cyst? Thank you!
Avatar f tn She said I could stop the Vagifem for 3 months and have another ultrasound, however, she recommends that I have the biopsy now. Can you please explain what "Adenomyosis versus hyperplastic changes" means? And would you suggest a biopsy based on these results? My doctor told me that I don't have to stop taking the Vagifem, however, I don't feel comfortable taking it now. Do you feel I should discontinue? Thank you for your assistance.
Avatar m tn I have used it for only a week and have had bad headaches, plus terrible pains in my womb. Also pins and needles down my left arm, and even my teeth are feeling very sensitive. I can't believe this is doing me any good. All replies will be welcome.
Avatar n tn Yes I've had yellow green discharge for 4 months - no bacteria showing up on tests - now seeing a specialist who has put me on vagifem same dose as you. I'm not convinced this will work and am desperate to get rid of the discharge - any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I am 54 yrs. of age and have been period free for 8 yrs. Within the last year and a half I have been seeking treatment for horrible burning inside and out of the vaginal area. My doctor has done many tests and has said that I have vaginal atrophy (sp) and told me to use replens. She also recommended Prempro as I still have a uterus. I no longer have health insurance and can't afford the prempro and the replens DOESN"T work.
Avatar m tn Has anyone else suffered the dreaded Vaginal Atrophy. Have been prescribed Vagifem which is helping a little. Main problem for me is burning after urination. Don't like using the prescribed betnovate cream too often as this burns. Now trying the yes products. Some days I seem much better and then the next day it returns with avengeance. Sitting at School working with children is not ideal and aggravates it even more.
Avatar f tn What I want to know is how long before the surgery should we use the estrogen (I have both vagifem and estrace cream)? I had a hysterectomy, total and done vaginally, in Oct 2009, then bladder fell 2 months after, had the cystocele repaired and then around 6 weeks later the rectum and top of vaginal vault fell. I have had a pessary in for around a year to hold it but it is getting so hard to have a BM. I want this rectocele repair to be the last surgery!
Avatar f tn 1st 10 days using Vagifem no side effects just discharge. Started 3rd week and have cramps and then diarrhea (sometimes). Does it get better?
Avatar f tn I personally prefer Vagifem because it is less messy and each comes in its own applicator. You will still need to use something like Astroglide duirng intercourse to have even better results. But, things should go back to normal if your tissues get the right amount of estrogen. Also, as time goes on in this new relationship, you may be more relaxed and have more natural lubrication to help you along. I hope you find something that helps! It is frustrating to have that problem!
Avatar n tn Can Seasonique cause cystitis? I started having cystitis-like symptoms shortly after I started taking Seasonique. My urologist wants to perform a distenstion of the bladder, but I read that Seasonique can cause cystitis like symptoms. I would rather switch pills than have the distention. He did not make the correlation between the new pill and the new symptoms.

Avatar f tn IC also shows a distinct hypersensitivity to foods and fluids that irritate the bladder like caffeine, alcohol, and acidic fruits and beverages. Symptoms of IC can flare up, and resolve spontaneously. If you have a flare up of symptoms, and a urine culture is negative for infection, you may have IC. You need to see a Urologist or Gynecologist who specializes in pelvic pain for a correct diagnosis and treatment. Go to the website of the Interstitial Cystitis Association: "ichelp.
Avatar n tn I do feel that the lack of vaginal estrogen may play a role. I have been on Vagifem for 6 weeks and feel a bit better, but just got back from dr. today and he says (and I agree) that it is not quite doing the trick. He is switching me to a vaginal estrogen cream. In the meantime, I am going for a second opinion with another urologist. Fortunately, I have insurance.
Avatar f tn Hello again, I forgot to ask this in my prior post regarding Vagifem. I exercise a few days a week with weights...is it okay to continue lifting weights now that I know I have a cyst on my ovary or could I be risking having it rupture? Is cardio okay to do? Thank you all.
Avatar n tn I am willing to help you. And for your disease, you need to change your treatment. And yes, cranberry juice and other supplements help you to relieve the symptoms, but it can not cure your disease from the root. You can take the herbal medicine Diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill to get a cure. It not only relieve your symptoms, but also cure your disease from the root causes.

666921 tn?1254990618 The other thing is that interstitial cystitis is common in lyme. You can google this and read on it if you like. Not saying you have this though. I don't think there is pus with IC though.
Avatar f tn years 3 ago I got cystitis and till their i have chronic cystitis wich exacerbations. Sexual intercourse worsens situation. I take antibiotics during the acute phase. Last time i took 3 month course of Monural. periodically i have feeling of urinary bladder fullness. Please give me the choice how to treat my problem, which drug or dietarry supplement should i take to eradicate bacteria finally and prevent their growth in my urinary bladder. Thanks a lot in advance, Regards, Nathia.
Avatar f tn I have been solidly suffering now with ups and downs for the last 2 years and have had bladder pain and infections all my life. Drinking fizzy drinks, OJ, wine etc makes it worse and now I eat bland food so as not to upset it. I drink lots of water. My multi vits make the pain worse and so did taking HRT due I think to making my antroverted uterus getting a bit bigger. Anything pressing on my bladder internally makes the pain worse, from the bowel as well.
