Avatar f tn Aloe Vera vaginal cream can be as effective as estrogen vaginal cream in the management of vaginal atrophy in menopause females.
Avatar n tn My other problem ( besides the uterine polyp) is that I have had vaginal discharge on and off for a year. It was yellowish green..The doctor now thinks it is vaginal atrophy, and I have been given vagifem tablets. Every day for 2 weeks, followed by twice a week. I still have the vaginal discharge , except it is no longer yellowish green, it is white or clear or slightly yellowish. Here's my question.. Has any one else had this symptom from vaginal atrophy?
Avatar f tn Hello pgpapergirl, It could be due to vaginal atrophy being that you had both ovaries were removed. My suspision of this etiology would be further enhanced if you reported spotting related to intercourse. Differential diagnosis should include granulation tissue along the posterior vagina, vaginitis, hemorrhoids, and trauma. Lastly, cervical and vaginal cancer. The simplest thing to do is be examined by your gynecologist.
Avatar f tn I forgot to mention that vaginal atrophy that is common after menopause (and even more common for women who have had a hysterectomy) can cause abnormal pap smears and colposcopies. Of course, with your history of cancer this could be more concerning; however, that is not a given. Using a vaginal estrogen for a short period of time to heal the tissues and re-doing the pap smear and/or colposcopy can elucidate whether it's precancer or cancer or just atrophy.
Avatar n tn C and the fibroid was benign but it was putting pressure on my bladder. I was diagnosed with atrophy. All the signs made me think I had ovarian cancer, but I don't. Have your sister checked to be sure.
Avatar f tn You may need estrogen cream also which can be prescribed by your doctor, not a big issue. The condition I think is called vaginal atrophy.
Avatar f tn I’ve googled my symptoms and the only thing that seems to be the logical answer based on my symptoms is vaginal atrophy which most of the time happens to menopausal woman. Vaginal atrophy has to do with estrogen levels which effect the lining of the cervix. I’m just trying to ease my mind before going to my appointment so please let me know if anyone has had a similar experience.
Avatar f tn Some of the possibilities are vaginal atrophy which can cause vaginal or urethral tissues to tear and blood vessels to break due to the thinned tissue. If you have endometriosis, endometrial tissue on the vaginal cuff can cause bleeding. There may be other possibilities. Let us know what you find out.
19939738 tn?1487004985 If you still have your cervix you can bleed even to the point of having mini periods. Other things that I've read can cause bleeding or spotting are vaginal atrophy or endometriosis on the vaginal cuff.
Avatar f tn See if your nurse practitioner will prescribe Premarin for you. It can improve your vaginal tone a whole lot. You're really too young for vaginal atrophy. If you really can't stand the idea of seeing a NP about this, try Wild Yam Cream. Basically, you need something hormonal in your vagina. You don't need to go onto estrogen pills, but some estrogenic cream will help a lot. Then, try a glass of wine.
Avatar f tn That is called vaginal atrophy and it is caused by lack of estrogen. There are vaginal remedies for this which work very well. Ask your doctor.
Avatar f tn I have chronic UTI's and have been told that they are caused by vaginal atrophy post menopause. I also was diagnosed with a liver disorder several years ago and everything I read says that Estrogen of any kind is contraindicated. My Urogyn seems to think a very low dose vaginal estrogen would be appropriate but it worries me. Help, I can't take any more utis!
Avatar f tn Do you still have your cervix? If so, you can still bleed even to the point of having mini periods. The only other causes of which I'm aware that may cause bleeding or spotting are vaginal atrophy or endometriosis on the vaginal cuff. You should probably see your doctor to have this checked out.
Avatar n tn If your gynecologist has ruled out sexually transmitted infections, and vaginal tears or atrophy (this can happen due to loss of estrogen in menopause), and your urine culture is negative, consider musculoskeletal source for your pressure/pain. Sometimes musculoskeletaql trigger points can cause a feeling of urinary urgency which can be corrected with physical herapy applied to the pelvic floor muscles.
Avatar f tn 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. This situation has made me very anxious and I am on Xanax and Cymbalta. Any suggestions would be most appreciated! I also am on Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. There are many days I wish I was a man as Menopause and its symptoms suck!!!
Avatar f tn Hello~your vaginal area could be starting to atrophy, this means getting drier and the skin getting thinner, it is a normal part of going through menopause. I would try using some bio-identical progesterone cream in that area or on your arm or any area of your skin. It is very good for menopausal symptoms and good for when over menopause. It keeps your skin in better condition, helps the hormones stay balanced and can even help in preventing breast cancer.
Avatar f tn Do you know the cause of the bleeding? Could it be from vaginal atrophy?
Avatar n tn HMMMM...haven't heard of this one. I hope someone will respond that can give some insight.
Avatar f tn Regardless of whether or not you have your cervix, if you have/had endometriosis, endo on the vaginal cuff can cause spotting. Vaginal atrophy or irritation of the urethra are some other possibilities. You should see your doctor to determine the cause.
18980464 tn?1470608167 My mom have the vaginal bleeding early this morning, she is 86 years old and first time to experience this, She is nervous and she felt pain while urinating what is the causes of her bleeding?
Avatar f tn Vaginal atrophy from lack of estrogen can cause light bleeding or spotting. If you have/had endometriosis, endo lesions on the vaginal cuff can trigger bleeding. If your vaginal cuff tore, that could also cause bleeding. I cannot think of any other causes. Let us know what you find out.
Avatar f tn By partial hysterectomy, do you mean you had your uterus and cervix removed, but kept your ovaries? The past surgery could be indirectly related to your current situation. But, I don't think it is the overall cause. It sounds like you have vaginal dryness and atrophy which is a common problem for postmenopausal women. As estrogen decreases, the vaginal tissues dry and atrophy. This causes pain like you described.
Avatar m tn Is this just some light spotting or more than that? Without a uterus, you shouldn't be bleeding. However, vaginal atrophy caused by loss of estrogen can cause some spotting. And I have read situations where some women who have endometriosis can have some bleeding from endo implants on the vaginal cuff. The "feeling weird to pee" and pain in your lower back could be an indication of a urinary tract infection (UTI). You should see your doctor to determine the cause of the bleeding.
Avatar f tn You could have vaginal atrophy, although you sound to be young and this occurs in older women usually. So more likely you have vaginismus. http://sogc.
Avatar f tn If it is more a spotting type of bleeding, that could be caused by vaginal atrophy. Another possibility is if your hysterectomy was for endometriosis, growth of endo on the vaginal cuff can produce estrogen and cause bleeding. I could see that your kidneys could be a cause if the blood was in your urine but that does not sound like the case. You need to push for a diagnosis / cause.
Avatar f tn A palle ON in a 12 year old with a normal MRI suggests a form of optic atrophy. I suggest you ask his ophthalmologist to refer you to a neuroophthalmologist or go to www.aao.org and find one near you. Glasses will not help optic atrophy and usually the condition is permanent. Need to find the cause.
Avatar f tn get checked out.
Avatar f tn The odds are very much in your favor that it is nothing serious. It's surprising how many women have bleeding episode(s) in the early years post-menopause. Our ovaries never shut down so in the early post-meno years they can have some sporadic "surges" that can cause bleeding. Another cause can be vaginal atrophy that can cause some spotting or light bleeding. Let us know what you find out.
