Avatar f tn 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 n tn If I use Vagifem, will this type of vaginal treatment affect my male partner in anyway?
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 f tn This is not typical with use of Vagifem. It sounds more like a vaginal infection, possibly a bacterial one. You need to see a GYN and probably have a smear of the discharge examined under a microscope, so that it can be determined exactly what's going on, and if it is an infection, what medication it would likely to best respond to. Best wishes...
Avatar m tn I used vagifem for two years and stopped for about one month. I want to start up again.
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 I say go with your gut instinct. If you are having concerns I would not take the medication. Also, I would ask your Doctor, for an alternative medication.
Avatar f tn HI, I'm 27, my gynecologist put me on vagifem for vaginal dryness. My period is now a week late which is very unusual for my cycle. My boobs are achy but not sore to touch. Could my period be late and sore boobs because of vagifem??
Avatar f tn I'm a 59 year old post menopausal woman who recently had my 4th follow-up transvaginal ultrasound because of a small ovarian cyst. The cyst is still there (but quite small), however, my latest ultrasound has caused my doctor to schedule an endometrial biopsy for me. Here are the findings: "The endometrium measures 5mm in thickness. Tiny cystic changes are noted involving the endometrium. This finding was not seen on previous examinations.
Avatar m tn Has anyone anything good to say about Vagifem [Estradiol hemihydrate]. 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 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? What works to make this go away?
Avatar m tn 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. Can only use vagifem twice a week now, but desperate to know what I can use in between the days when not using it. Replies would be much appreciated.
Avatar f tn It happened to me a couple of times too. It is due with menopause as the vaginal area gets drier. We should avoid rubbing too hard with toilet paper. I know how you felt - very painful burning sensation. Now I am careful when I go to the WC.
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 f tn Thank you so much for your respected opinion, I hope it will work by using it with the pessary in? I use the vagifem, seems easier with the pessary. I used the estrace cream and I was having hot flashes again and I am 58 yrs.old! I went through menopause at 51 yrs old so I do not think I want to go through those again, of course I was probably using a little to much.
Avatar f tn I am allowed to use Femoston conti 0.5/2.5 (estrogen/progesterone) one pill per day and local treatment with Vagifem 1-2 times per week. I have purchased Vagisan moisturising cream and I think that it could help. I have hypothyroidism (treated with Thyroid Erfa) and hyperparathyroidism (hypercalcemia) and other diseases. I am taking vitamin D, Marevan (coumadin), atenolol, sometimes selenium, vitamins B, lactic acid bacteria, and magnesium. Maybe my thyroid medication is too low.
Avatar f tn After having had a hysteroscopy which found 'no serious problems', but did show some Atrophy, I've been prescribed Vagifem 25mcg pessaries. I've started using them but was concerned to find on reading the patient leaflet that these are HRT and I'm wary about the risks. I'm 61 and have been post-menopause (with no menopausal problems) for several years.
Avatar n tn Hello everyone. Wanted to know if am the only one struggling with weight gain. Am 29 weeks with my second pregnancy and I've only gained about 9 lbs. The weight is all in my belly. I am 5:2 and I weighed about 125 lbs prior to my pregnancy. With my first pregnancy I gained 13 lbs throughout the entire pregnancy so I shouldn't be concerned but am a bit worried.
Avatar f tn When you have this condition, it does not matter how much lubrication you at the time of intercourse. Your tissues are so dry that they cut and bleed with any friction. Luckily, there is a remedy. A vaginal estrogen pill (Vagifem) or cream (Premarin) can be inserted into the vagina on a regular basis and it will help rebuild the tissue and prevent this type of dryness. I personally prefer Vagifem because it is less messy and each comes in its own applicator.
Avatar f tn I don't have a problem losing weight, I just have a problem with losing weight. Like I can't seem to gain any weight at all. Before I got pregnant I weighed 145, by the time I had him, in April 2013, I weighed 173. I breastfeed and two weeks after having him I was down to 155, then two weeks after that was down to 146. And now that I'm not breastfeeding, I'm still constantly losing weight. I can't seem to stop.
Avatar n tn When you are hypothyroid, your metabolism is lower than normal for your height, weight, and age. So, the weight gain is the same as if you were overeating or not exercising enough.
Avatar n tn Symptoms of hypothyroidism usually go along with a slowdown in metabolism, and can include fatigue, weight gain, and depression, among others. This above is just a clip off the eloxtrin link . As I understand it this med is a Canadian based med that here in the states brand is levothyroxine.
Avatar n tn Are these the first meds they have tried for your treatment?
Avatar f tn I'm not scared of gaining weight. I want to gain weight. All I asked was it okay that I don't eat a lot. But thank you.
Avatar f tn I am hyper with weight gain. I was actually diagnosed with Graves two weeks ago and my doctor kind of shrugged off the weight gain and just said that everyone is different and some hypers gain weight.
Avatar n tn It was very frustrating and upsetting as even my family made fun of my weight gain, which I knew was not just weight gain, but a symptom of a real problem that I couldn't get anyone to take seriously. Do you know why you are hyperthyroid? Most docs could care less what the root cause is, they just treat the symptoms.
Avatar n tn s themselves can casue the distension and weight gain consistent with my symptoms. But, within a couple days, I experienced horrible stomach burning and acid reflux at night. So, I put myself back on Omeprazole immediately and went to see my doctor. When I told my doctor that I tried this he said not to go off PPI's cold turkey ever again. That you have to wean yourself off slowly, over a couple of weeks, especially given the length of time I've been on this class of drugs.
