Hello,
Premarin is basically used for atrophic vaginitis and kraurosis vulvae which is a cutaneous condition characterized by atrophy and shrinkage of the skin of the vagina and vulva. Clotrimazole gel is a topical antifungal cream. You can use it at different times of the day like one in the morning and one at night.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Hello - I am 59 and have atrophic vaginitis. There is an area in the (introitus?) that has almost no skin covering due to the thinning tissue. It burns terribly all the time. I have had numerous vaginal infections over the past few months including gardnerella, a yeast inf., & 2 cultures showed large amounts of enterococcus faecalis & klebsiella.
I was instructed to stop taking my Premarin (lowest dose), for 6 months at a time for fear of Heart related issues. I have done it before, but experience dryness. I had my hysterectomy in 03 (I'm 46), and haven't had intercourse now for almost two years (for several reasons). For whom this concerns; I've been suggested to try premarin creams, but how often do I use it and do they work?
I suffer from Hashimotos autoimmune disease for many years and was diagnosed last year with Lupus after suffering many years with leukopenia which was caused by the Lupus or the Premarin. I took myself off of Premarin in July 2016 and I feel so much better. My hair is now growing back after losing about 3/4 of it during a Lupus flare-up that lasted over 7 months. My muscle aches are gone and my blood counts are now registering normal.
I finally convinced my gp doctor to check my hormone levels and according to the nurse they came back normal. My gp doctor had already prescribed Premarin for me to take at .3mg. daily. I have not had a hysterectomy. He did not prescribe any type of progesterone for me to take but told me to go ahead and take the Premarin. Advised me that I should see a gyn--which I already did and they did not test my hormones at all. I have terrible hot flashes every day, insomnia, anxiety and mood changes.
Do I need to continue taking Premarin .0625 or can I discontinue since I am past meopause age.
I had my mammogram 2 days ago and they called me this morning setting me up next week for spotcompression, sonogram and told me not to worry! Sorry a little late for that. Estrogen only, ( premarin 1.25 for 8 yrs) then 2.5 after removal of other ovary for bout 5 yrs. Then because I was getting older cut me back to 1.25 mg. After being off premarin for 1 yr, I would rather still be on the premarin. If got breast cancer today, I don't feel like I could blame it on the premarin.
There is a natural premarin mde from equine's and a manmade version? Ive heard about HRT being made from the urine of female horses and how it is done, which I find crueeel ;( but guess my questions is what is the manmade version? Im on Prempro but dont know where it came from horse or manmade???
Premarin is what is known as a conjugated estrogen. Estrogens are usually used to treat menopause or to provide estrogen to women whose ovaries have been removed. Estrogens affect many areas of the body. They DO cause growth and development of the sexual organs. Which is probably why they prescribed it....to help her development along so the labia would no longer be fused. Estrogens also help maintain female sexual characteristics, such as hips/breasts, pubic hair and armpit hair.
hiii ticked..thanks for reply....yes i am going to the same gynecologist...should i change my gynecologist?
what is bio-identical hormones?is it a medicine name?
i thought that i shall not take premarin anymore.thanks again ticked.
I took the 1/2 pill with great caution as my mom took premarin for many years and ended up with breast cancer which eventually took her life 5 years ago). I have been tortured since stopping my premarin regime. I don't think I have had a full nights sleep since - in fact last evening the first wake up was at 3:38 and then I had 5 more flashes before I finally got out of bed and started my day with more flashes. My gen practioner has suggested prozac ... sorry but that seems a bit severe.
Well I can say from my experience I can't use Premarin because it causes yeast infections for me. I think you can take the pill Diflucan do get rid of the yeast infection but don't be surprised that it is persistent and wont go away. I would call the pharmacy to make sure as I am not a doctor but I know I would use both but I also would ask.
