I've suffered from vaginal atrophy now for some years. Started when I thought I had repeated bouts of cystitis. Was started on Ovestin cream by a urologist which was a life saver. Did the recommended course. Finished and had about 18 months with no problems. Saw GP, started full course again and have continued over the years using it once a week as a maintenance dose. GP checked with local gynae who said it was safe to do so but maybe try Vagifem. I had a pack of this at home but as Ovestin seemed to be keeping things at bay decided to continue with this. Been feeling like I had a bout of cystitis, peeing frequently and all the other symptoms but I'm now wondering if Ovestin cream is becoming ineffective so much so that this morning I decided to start the Vagifem but will make an appointment with the GP to discuss further.
Just longing to feel comfortable "down there" again! Any advice greatly appreciated re swapping one for the other.
