Vagifem for ageing itchy lady bits....

[Exmoor]

Been perimenopausal for at least 7 years. Increasingly my front botty is sore and itchy. Not thrush, tried steroids which do help temporarily. But now Dr has prescribed Vagifem. How long till the itching goes??? Been using it for a week and no relief yet

Would like to hear more as I have itchy bits!

Anyone used Vagifem for itching ??

Cut the carbs out of your diet and it’s anszung how wuucjly it Fucks off.(2-4 days) Truly.

wuucjly ??? Quickly

Front botty? How old are you?

@fuckingtwats have u no sense of humour? Ok labia, clitoris etc. Is that better?

Be aware that the standard regime of daily for two weeks and then twice a week may not be enough for you. I had to go private to be told that it is perfectly safe to use it every day, which has changed my life and enabled me to have sex again.

I use estriol cream rather than vagifem, like being able to apply directly to the itchy bits as well as internally, works for me.

Thanks. Will give it a few weeks. Perimenopause is shit!

Have you tried Sudocream? I had a smear a few weeks ago and mentioned I was having severe itching issues with my perinium and the surrounding area. Nurse couldn't see anything but recommended Sudocream - its amazing!! I apply regularly and the itching has definitely reduced to almost not there.

I've used a very thin smear of Eurax cream and the relief was instant. However please check if its suppose to be used around that area. I was desperate so just used it!

I found after the initial daily dose I needed three times a week rather than two. Since HRT patches kicked in I've been ok on two.

I'm not happy about all the plastic generated though.

@picklemepopcorn yes agree. Don't like the single use "inserter"!

I use Vagifem every day, works much better than the recommended twice a week. You could try fiddling with the dose till you get it right for you.

I'm hoping when I get a review with the GP that there will be a less wasteful alternative.

That's why I asked for estriol cream @picklemepopcorn, it's got a reusable applicator, still plastic but at least I only use one every couple of months.
