I'm posting in chat purely for traffic and hoping someone who knows more about this sort of thing that me can advise.
A few weeks ago I had a hysteroscopy because my ovaries decided to ovulate again after 2 years and I had a very, very, very subtle period. All was okay from the hysteroscopy but the gynae said she could see some signs of dryness inside and that I could ask my GP for oestrogen pessaries. I went on my merry way quite happy until the post appointment letter arrived stating I had vaginal atrophy and I thought WTAF that doesn't sound good!!!!
I contacted the GP for some advice (via a form as it's all you can do at our practice) and just got a text back to say a prescription had been sent down the the pharmacy for me to collect.
All good you might think, apart from the fact I have absolutely no symptoms of dryness or anything else. No dryness that I've noticed (husband not noticed either), no bladder issues nothing. I am completely oblivious to my VA.
Now I don't know what to do. I'm very much a 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' sort of person and I really don't like the idea of using Oestrogen pessaries that I've read can cause side effects like headaches, bleeding irritation, UTI etc as it's not as if I'm trying to get rid of unpleasant symptoms. I'm more concerned the pessaries might cause unpleasant symptoms!!
Does anyone have any advice please? I'm mid 50's, 2 years post meno, no HRT.
